See, I'd think Life Is For The Living is one of the last songs that would make it on there! It's bonkers!

If "It's Trying To Say" doesn't make the box set Capitol can expect a strongly worded letter from someone shady

If any track makes it, it's that. What a song. One of my favourite Dennis leads, too!

If you can't dance to "It's trying to say", you shouldn't dance at all

I agree that It's Trying to Say should definitely be included.
But I am perhaps one of the few who wouldn't be disappointed if Life is for the Living is omitted. The sound of a fat crazy man and his drunken brother preaching about physical fitness doesn't appeal to me. Dire lyrics and sloppy vocals on this one.

I think Deep Purple would be a great inclusion on the box set. I've always thought it was one of the better Brian vocals from the period. The same goes for Oh Darlin' a few years later.

If I had a sitcom, I'd push so hard to get "It's Trying to Say" as the theme song.

There's definitely a strike of genius in 'Lines' (great chord changes!) - I bet Mike composed the crappy outro though

This might have been addressed earlier, but what in the blue gravy hell is up with Carl's voice on these tracks? Is it a tape speed problem? Asking because he kind of sounds like sh*t, but it doesn't sound natural.

If I had a sitcom, I'd push so hard to get "It's Trying to Say" as the theme song. The song does have that classic sitcom theme feel to it, especially during the first verse. However, because of the second verse and on, whatever sitcom uses it would have to take place in a AA minor league baseball dugout as we delight in the hijinks of the permanently benched relief pitcher Cal Sardine.

And is there a more awkward line than: "Oh, those athletes work so hard" ?

That's the first time I've heard "Everybody Wants to Live" and I love it. Great 70s BW sound.
Some revised lyrics, more precise lead vocals and a healthy serving of background vox would have made these tracks fantastic (well, not all of them).
Would any of Dennis' sings have sat comfortably on Adult/Child? Maybe one without On Broadway and Shortening Bread?

Live Is For The Living is the best thing on the album! Way better than It's Trying To Say. Hope it makes it onto MIC.

It's Trying to Say is good, but that part when they keep repeating Baseball's on until it reached a crescendo, is too long. It they could edit that down, unlikely, it would be more appealing.

So awkward, but so catchy. Ath-a-letes I've always thought the chord progression was born for the uptempo production stylings of something like A Hard Day's Night. It's truly bizzarely realised on Adult/Child, I mean, it's still interesting, and I love it, but there's further untapped awesomeness lurking beneath the surface for sure.

I always really liked Everybody Wants To Live, but Brian's voice sticks out above the rest of the group. It's like the original "Jeff Foskett syndrome".

For fun, I sped up "Everybody Wants To Live" and made it sound more live. The reverb patch I applied probably could've used more tweaking - it sounds good on Carl's parts, but it gets a bit too echoey when Brian comes in. https://soundcloud.com/george-vieira/everybody-wants-to-live-just

It's good to hear Brian singing with Dennis.
