Despite the fact that I listed to a LOT of different music growing up (Spanish pop and rock, UK punk rock, disco, metal and all of the synth-heavy music from the 80s), I've never been able to understand a music review. Even if it's for a band that I like, love or I'm very familiar with, music reviews don't translate AT ALL in my mind. I can get an idea that the reviewer might or might've not liked the album/song/etc, but not the reason why.

It's not the same for movies and books. Those I get from the get go. Movies because film is a visual medium so I can sit down and remember xyz scene. Books for the same reason (when we read, we're imagining, i.e. creating that visual in our head.)

Maybe it's just harder to do that with music? IDK.

In all truth, your idea of use Zero, Zero as the bridge between CW One and Two is quite brilliant. IMHO, it works because the song's tempo is definite slower and slightly poppier than Boy Division and Tomorrow's money. However, it's still got the 'tude from Gun. and (to a lesser degree) Ambulance.

Placing it in the middle like that has actually made Ambulance a more palatable song for me. Despite all of my repeat listens, I haven't warmed up to Ambulance. *hands*
