[E.H. Ruddock]

let's rank all the official singles (taking into account their respective b-sides)!

[joostone]

Yes, I agree with them. It's their weakest record....

[Leatherhead]

Yes, I agree with them. It's their weakest record....

Wonder how they'd rate albums Vitalogy through Riot Act.

Yeah, I'd be curious to hear the Ten -> RA reviews. I agree with pretty much everything they said. It's a "C", maybe "C-" album. Very meh to me, very forgettable, and nothing makes me want to come back to it and listen again (Ten -> Avocado all have songs I have to keep in my rotation).

[Leatherhead]

No mention of MFS, which is clearly the best song on the album. :/

I agree that L-bolt would have been even better if there were more songs like MYM on it. It's so good.

[LetMeSleep]

Oh dear.

I kinda agree. Imagine Olé and Off the Earth replaced 'LTRP' and 'SBM', than I think I would like the record much better. Note, Im not saying those songs are better, but I just think they would be a better fit. LTRP and SBM could have been released as a exclusive single only (Record store day vinyl release or whatever...)

Olé would improve no record. Except, of course, by it's exclusion.

[Leatherhead]

Ole's not bad.

[Norris]
