I also really like the "Wipe The Windows" album...I think there is some nice stuff on there. Chuck and Lamar really out their stamp on it too. AS far as "Wasted Words" goes"...of course I love the original version, but I also love what they do with it today. Oteils funky Bass line is really sweet and the outro with Derek and Warren tearing it up with some powerful call and response, really puts it over the top. Remember, there is a natural evolution to this band with this lineup and I applaud them for coming up with new wrinkles, new twists, new jams and slighltly new arrangements. This band was built on taking chances and not stagnating. We learned with this band in the 1990's, that if you stand still and don't progress, the music will suffer and it certainly did then to a certain extent. I also love what the current lineup does with "Same Thing", same basic arrangement as the 90's lineup, just a bit funkier with more balls so to speak...and a killer outro where all hell breaks loose. Play it like there is no tomorrow and it will always work....and thats exactly what they do.
