This is one of the never ending SP conversations, apparently. Adore is what it is. It's the general vibe of the record that turned off people who loved Today, BWBW etc. No minor change in the tracklist would've changed that. It would've made them a drastically smaller presence in the mainstream compared to 93-97 no matter what. Had it been shorter, it might've gotten better reviews, but it would not have continued their chart success in any scenario.

Reminds me of how Radiohead fans speak of "Lift" as the long lost Radiohead single that would've made them the next U2 or whatever.
