This could SO start a RR vs Eternal thing [I mean legitimately (in my head, at least)]: I mean, different styles: like "Reena" being that album's equivalent of... what? "Poison Arrow"? "Leaky Lifeboat?" "Anti-orgasm"? [But yeah, that was a lot of strange-sounding titles...] ["My 'tree converged' in a yellow wood," apparently [re: a whole bunch of variables congealing into one as I backed up in warp speed to a decreased threshold of scrutiny]]
Bottom line: I think RR is probably better for hippie-leaning stoners (and there ain't no shame in that) who love Murray St. and ATL and maybe Nurse; and the Eternal is for people who liked Goo or Dirty. But the Goo and Dirty side of it compensates by diplomatically throwing the other sides a bone (even the ones not mentioned, like the pre-Geffen side); and as a new ratio it strikes me in a different way, and I can see both sides [of the question you didn't ask...], and they're equal to me--it's just my own thinking that I have to adjust.
