The highlights on this have grown on me with age, while the low lights are just terrible.

Highlights:
Force of Nature
The Fixer
Johnny Guitar
Speed of Sound (w/ lasers or w/out)

Lowlights:
Amongst the Waves (amongst their worst songs)
Unthought Known
Supersonic (bridge is still awesome though)
Gonna See My Friend
