I hadn't listened to enough to realize that. Can't we start laughing
at it now?

I think of Low as a great album track. And then in the 3-legged dog
era, experimental tracks get released as singles enough to make your
heart bleed for WBR.
Slot-3 singles:
So. Central Rain
Driver 8
Fall on Me
The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight
Suspicion
All the Way to Reno
Supernatural Superserious
So. Central Rain, Fall on Me, and Supernatural Superserious were the
first-released singles from their albums. So when placing side bets on
the next album, that's 4:1 odds against #3 being the first single.
