I've listened to Paranormal twice now and have to say it's good. Short but good.
It's a real pity Alice still comes across as a greatest hits package live as one or two here would have benefited from playing live. Fireball is excellent. I could imagine Alice marching around singing through a megaphone and Calico on stage with a sandwich board declaring the 'end is nigh' as screens show the impending fireball on it's way to earth. The Sound of A would also be worth a performance, maybe in place of Only Women Bleed or another slow track. Rats is a song i could imagine being blasted out before Elected. A real Alice growler. You're all rats...please elect me! Paranoiac Personality is a surprise especially as lead single. It's probably the poorest track on offer of the original ten on disc one.
