That was the first to go for me.  When the bonus tracks are all so good is just doesn't make sense to me.

Agreed.... The bonus tracks are all simply mind blowing!! I guess like the rest of the album TBH.....

Can't understand this hatred against Slow learner. Minimalist, but sorrow and sincere. Something like the Beatles' "Yesterday".

One Song At A Time is a masterpiece.
The others are brillant, except (for me):
-The 2 that are not on the deluxe edition (Rear view mirror and Every Heart In The Room)
-Just a boy... just doesn't fit.
-Nobody does that: a bit too much

I don't get the hatred either; musically it's a brilliantly written song, very sophisitcated stuff, with an almost Burt Bacharach-ish quality to it. And the recording's got a great vibe going.
I like it waaaay more than say Good on you, Son, which is just ok at best.

Why, just because some of us dislike "Slow Learner" is it now described as "hatred"?    I, certainly, don't hate it - it's just a bit too slow for me, that's all and I may even like it, eventually, when I'm in the right mood!   Lots of forumers dislike other songs, eg "When You Leave"  but I would never accuse them of hatred toward the song.  It's just their particular taste, that's all!    Hatred is a very harsh word!

Sorry, I guess this is language bias. In French we often say "Pourquoi tant de haine ?" ("Why so much hatred ?" in a joking, exagerating way. I certainly did not mean to say that those who dislike Slow Learner are haters ! Sorry, no offense intended at all.

That's OK, Herlock, I understand!   :)     I prefer to say "dislike"  or "dislike intensely" !   ;D

LOL.  My Mum still gives me a row for using that word (hate)!  ::)
