yeah gg has some really obvious highs but rtf is probably a little stronger overall--wider variety of songs too

...also the shiny production wins.
but i like GG too!

I love both of them but I think Ride the Fader might be a little bit better.

Imagine Gone Glimmering with both sides of the first single on it (still under 40 minutes, no?)! Too many anthems, perhaps, but...

had the bit around 2:00 in "new room" going through my head all day - when the drums kick back from the break and then the guitar starts screaming. such a rush every time. no closer to narrowing this down otherwise, so that gets my vote.

Unreal Is Here has always really done it for me. Great for sunny days. Though Our Boys Will Shine Tonight has such a triumphant building climactic melody. Hard to make choices.

still find it awesome that "The Guard Attacks" was a featured BUZZ TRACK on my local alt-rock station, THE REVOLUTION 101.1

vote turnout doesn't bode well for the 90s poll... 4-way tie is indicative of the consistency here though i think. sad to see no votes for the badass middle tracks (tight around the jaws and lions). i feel like some metal band could cover them successfully.
who else voted for new room??

For some reason, a seller on discogs can't get rid of the vinyl reissue quick enough...
