Ah, I actually didn't realize that wasn't the real sequence. But yes, "No Fair" is absolutely the better opener (side note: the intended artwork is hilariously worse though..)
It's weird that the boxset has the different tracklisting (which I guess is also on some European versions) since Sage remastered it himself!

Seems like part of the motivation behind the boxset is that some of those decisions were originally taken out of his hands, or maybe he simply changed his mind about track order and album covers over time.

I love that I learned this today. "No Fair" sounds like it was written to open an album and "When It's Over" is the last track because...it's over. YoA is the right answer here.

On Over the Edge, it's like, did he even mic the drums? And yet, it wins for me too. Side 1 in particular is absolutely incredible.
