I think it's unskippable :)
"Just kill the one with the sword first."
"Ah," Reagan says, raising his waxed and penciled eyebrows, and cocking his pompadour in Shaftoe's direction. "Smarrrt--you target them because they're the officers, right?"
"No, fuckhead!" Shaftoe yells. "You kill 'em because they've got fucking swords! You ever had anyone running at you waving a fucking sword?" |

I actually used to skip it when I listened to SMYT a lot, as it got boring, but now that I listen less, I love it more.

| I admit it...I skipped it at first. It sounded so different to me than the rest of the songs that it required a different mindset for me to enjoy. The beginning sounded more low-fi, and I would immediately skip to the brighter, more complete sound of "Everything is New". I did the same thing with "1826" for a while. Finally I heard it at the right moment where I appreciated the crunch and sustain of those Vox amps and I never skip either of them anymore. |

I love to listen "Nadine",I love that song... I saw Frank Black & Cs for that first time last year, and he started with Nadine, that was so powerfull played live that I think it made some effect in my brain...

Not only do I never skip Nadine, but I can't even IMAGINE doing so. Come on, guys, this song totally rocks. What is it specifically that you don't like about it? Too repetitive? Everyone has seen the kitty video, yes?

| Experiencing a song live has changed how I feel about a lot of songs as well. Watching how much the artist puts into it as they sing it makes me re-appreciate it. Plus I think the visual as opposed to just hearing it makes a big difference in how I perceive something in certain cases. And no, I have not seen the kitty video! Although I have seen the Mexican cat-juggling video. |

ehh. Its kind of boring, and after having the nadine ep for a month or more before getting SMYT, i kind of burned out on it fast. Definitely skip. Actually, only one of two skips on SMYT. The others goodbye lorraine. stupid song

I think this is one of the best songs of his entire career. I love it. Love playing it on the acoustic. Very powerful song.
I guess I just wasn't made for these times. |

| Dayanara, thanks for the video...the poor kitty, looks like he has a broken paw or something with that arm stuck in the air. I can die satisfied that I have seen the kitty cat video at least! |

| I love Nadine but the song from the record that's never made any sense to me is Jaina Blues. Does anyone else feel this way? I think this song is just awful, I really would rather it wasn't on the record. |

| I can't help it, but I like Jaina blues. It doesn't hurt that I work with a pretty woman named Jayna, so there is that whole added dynamic. Still the guitar is good no matter if you know a Jaina or not. Dracula, maybe you just need to focus on your yoga a little more. |

Not me my friend, its one of my favourites on the album. I mean, do you play guitar? Those chords in the middle to the "I never dreamed" bit are pure genius. Beautiful and 100% Frank inspired. Everytime I listen to Jaina I find myself waiting in anticipation for that bit, slowly turning up the noise maker to 10 along the way.
and Nadine, I've skipped it too in the past. Now I listen to the first verse because I love Franks voice on this one but knowing what comes next, I do skip. |

I wouldn't call it awful but I'm with you on this.
Oh and Nadine Rocks. |

Yeah, you have to wonder how he manages to play different chords.

I just put Nadine on a rockin compilation for my friend, those thunderous gutairs at the end are killer, I find it hard to believe its straight to tape. Great song. When I got SMYT, Nadine reconfirmed my faith that Frank can totally rock even though I equaly love his country vibe.

I just recently picked up the Nadine single. I love that song. The cd single is one of my favorites due to the fact that it has live songs on it. I always like hearing live music instead of studio tracks. You just feel how raw the music really is.

First listen: What is that stupid sort-of punk song?.. and those words.
Now: What a great stupid rock-song!.. and those words!

| i don't i could ever skip the first song on an album, if i didn't like the first track i wouldnt bother listening to the album at all. Fortunately bands generally put one of their strongest tracks as an opener - which in this case in appropriate for Nadine. |
