During an interview in 2007, Roddy Woomble mentioned that he had:

"one copy of ‘Queen Of The Troubled Teens’, but the thing is that it’s rubbish. I mean, for what it is – when I look back, like I do with fondness at copies of a favourite book or something – musically it’s just a bunch of 19-year-olds. Of course it’s part of the band’s history, but I think things have moved on.”[1]

The song has appeared on recent setlists, and remains a fan-favourite.

Track listing

  2. "Faster"
  3. "Self Healer" (Original version)
gollark: - Some of Parliament wants it, others don't- The country seems pretty much 50/50 split on whether they want it- Nobody can agree on what it should be or how it should work
gollark: It might become obsolete if a RXGT+ 2130 (I fully expect the naming scheme of the next generation to be this bad) is made, which presumably will be somewhat cheaper than my card and perform similarly.
gollark: My GTX 1050 is arguably still not obsolete since there is no similarly priced newer competitor from Nvidia.
gollark: You should complain to redidit.
gollark: The best ÇPU for this? Probably an LN2-cooled overclocked 28 core Xeoñ W.
