That Sunrise/Sunset cover reminded me of when we didn't know the next album was Rock 'n' Roll Circus and I remember that single and You were.../BALLAD (Though BALLAD is amazing) came out and they really didn't get me excited for the next album at all (they were good... don't get me wrong
).
That's the only thing I think holds Rock 'n' Roll Circus back from being an amazing piece of work; the singles. They don't blend with the album and were made (I think) without any kind of forward thinking as to what the album was going to be, what it was going to sound like and what direction the whole thing was going to go in.
