I actually like it more on the LD version (closer to the demo), even though the vocals and lyrical changes are a huge step backwards

Alone fights with Hold On & Deep for he title of worst ever PJ song. (Evacuation & Gods' Dice are not songs, they're jokes).

for a second I thought you meant title like 'name of the song'. Now it is all clear to me

Alone is awesome, at least on the Go single. Still one of the great early pj songs for me, i just shelled out for the official euro import single, in the soft case. Kind of a cool single in general.

Alone is a fantastic song - an early PJ gem

I love listening to "Alone" alone. And "Hold On" is a stupid title, but a great song.

same. though that almost works (for 'worst song title' I would also add Push Me Pull Me, Love Boat Captain, and the ABSOLUTE worst, Elderly Woman Blab Blah Blah)

Alone is one of the many reasons why the band's greatest recording period was during the Ten era.

I'm glad they brought this one back too. Not a favorite but I do like to see it pop up on a setlist now and then.
Brother and Just a Girl? They don't suck but both sound very dated to me now.

would that be the Mookie demo? cause that's what I have and it's got a pretty good version of Brother
