interesting article...I wonder who decided on the final name of the album?
Didn't Glenn say on HOTE that owing to the excruciating nature of making The Long Run the name became rather easy to establish?
I think it might have been Bill Szymczyk. Was the song, "The Long Run" one of last to be finished? Certainly, that working title shows their frame of mind.Quote:

I can sort of see how the working title would fit some of the songs on the album, in that there's quite a few dark songs about unpleasant characters or environments, although I definitely prefer 'The Long Run' as a title!
