13 - For Completists Only?

[Jack the Stripper]

Been listening to 13 quite a bit the last couple of days after doing my preferred and what I think is a much better track sequencing than what was put out.

I've also left off Loner & Live Forever. Not that I dislike those songs, I just like the two I've added more. Clocks in at 60 minutes, which is more than reasonable.


1) End Of The Beginning
2) Season Of The Dead
3) God Is Dead?
4) Zeitgeist
5) Age Of Reason

Side 2

6) Cry All Night
7) Methademic
8)Damaged Soul
9) Pariah
10) Dear Father

Try it and let me know what yous think 

Rick Rubin is an idiot btw 

Here is the way I would have done it:

13
side 1 (25:30)

1. End Of The Beginning
2. Naivete In Black
3. Zeitgeist
4. God Is Dead?

side 2 (24:05)

5. Live Forever
6. Loner
7. Dear Father (minus storm/bells)
8. Age Of Reason

The End
side 1 (23:10)

1. Season Of The Dead
2. Peace Of Mind
3. Isolated Man
4. Damaged Soul

side 2 (22:42)

5. Methademic
6. Cry All Night (minus storm/bells)
7. Pariah
8. Take Me Home/The End (includes storm/bells)

Notes:
1) Total time for 13 approximately 49:35.
2) Total time for The End approximately 45:52.
3) The final song is appropriately titled.
4) They started this entire journey with the storm/bells, and they finish the journey with the storm/bells.  Done.

Not bad but I prefer mine  Interested why you've left Damaged Soul off 13? One of the best tracks for me

I wanted to include DS on The End, plus it helped keep 13 from being too long.

^^^35 years between albums from the original era, it could've  been a 10 song 60 minute album at least.

True, I just wanted 13 and The End to be some what balanced.  I never liked the way they put 4 live songs on The End to finish it all off.

What are the chances we get the Bill Ward sessions released on a Deluxe Edition 13?

This album has grown on me.
