Y'all saw how "Raising Sand" was treated in TW07, or even "Swing Lo Magellan" in TW12. Artists, especially older ones, who make music that's easy to write off as boring/tiring (however inaccurate that may be) have a history of going down in flames in This Was rates, and I don't want a clear loser that everyone tears apart like usual.
But I'm cool with including Third instead of VW if people really want it. It's a great album -- maybe I'm underestimating how well it would do in a rate. What would you recommend, Ace?
