I think all the PTA B-sides were some of the best work they've ever done, and Better Days is probably the most intense song they've ever made in terms of speed and volume, it's my fav dm song a lot of the time.. The B sides are usually a good indicator of the sound of the next album, guess we'll see what happens
Totally agree, all three PTA B-sides should have been on the album. Plus Martyr, of course which was left for that non-senseful Best Of compilation. These 4 songs replacing 2 or 3 weaker ones from PTA and we would have had a classic album. Come on, Depeche, more courage, we like you this way, non-commercial!
i might disagree about the b-sides not being commercial but i wouldn't mind if free, newborn and better days had replaced macro, nothings impossible and i want it all... then again, i really liked having those b-sides to get my mode fix going months after PTA was released what with the one album every 4 years thing.
i'm optimistic that the new album might actually have interludes and instrumentals as good as the old days instead of just saving the good ones for b-sides like with Ultra & Exciter
This song is way too happy to put on PTA, but I wouldn't mind if it replaced Macro... Or maybe the darkest star. But it had to be more mixed and polished to be an album-track.
I didn't hear this song, it's great.... I've been their fans since 18 years ago, they've been reinvented all the time and I love it.... Dave looks gorgeuos always....
Makes me wonder if we can expect a more industrial album next time--that would be very cool! They have been getting better and better ever since dropping a bity after Alan's departure...
Yes that's a good question; probably due to the fact that "Better Days" was not included on "Plaing the Angel". Maybe it was recorded sever mouths later just to make it a B-side for "Suffer Well" or it was recorded during playing the angel session but the band resolved not to put it on an album . I don't know;-/ Anyway the tune of Better days is great- this should have been A-side!!!

Nada que ver a March of pig, el concepto, los acordes, los arreglos y el sonido general son MUY distintos.

makes one wonder why they didn't through in a more creative bridge and made this the A-side, really.
