SUCH: As usual, your enthusiasm is charming (which is why we all love you) but unconvincing.
And for the record: no one WANTS to dislike Eternal. I'm sure we'd all be happy if it had been the greatest thing SY ever made. But I think the general verdict says it's simply not.
But you are right about how the songs improved live. Then again, a fantastic boot I have features Tom Violence, a DDN song or two, and a big chunk of Sister. Those songs, even after 10,000 listens, are still mind-blowing. The Eternal stuff is merely better than the studio recordings. And that's the way it is.
