II: 1972–1976 (6) matters because it reads like part of an album world, not a detached single. II: 1972–1976 (6) (2021) pulls the room inward and lets voice, phrasing, or acoustic grain do the heavy lifting.

Listen for phrasing, breath, and the way tiny changes in delivery make the emotional pressure jump. Notice how it hands the weight to Electricity (Instrumental) by Talking Heads off Bonus Rarities & Outtakes (2006) instead of crowding the next move.
