10 songs on the first 3 albums I like less than Why Go. Technically, it's 11, but I'll be fair and leave Foxy Mop off the list.

Deep
WMA
Dissident
Rearviewmirror
Satan's Bed
Tremor Christ
Bugs
Whipping
Aye Davanita
Pry, To


But seriously, not trashing ITM, it was my gut vote. I like it. I just think you're being a little over the top.
Wow, you like Tremor Christ less than Why Go?

That's surprising. And I didn't think you could surprise me anymore at this point. Well done. :D

For me, I like all of those quite a bit more than Why Go.

Leash is maybe the only other one I like less. Maybe. I'd have to really think about it. And yeah I guess Stupid Mop, too.

I could add Leash to my list if you want.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Who knows, maybe I feel differently tomorrow. All this shit rattles around in my head and comes out in different ways on different days.

Now that I've listened to both I am sure I like Why Go more, but I'm sticking with In the Moonlight b/c I want the underdog to take it.
In The Moonlight is maybe the best non-album track this band has released.

Why Go is maybe the worst song on this band's first three albums. I mean, it's still totally fine. I don't hate Why Go. But jesus In The Moonlight is SO fucking great.
I was onboard until this bolded part. I absolutely love both tunes, but am now voting Why Go just because of you.

It's okay, I switched my vote in the other direction because I saw a cloud shaped like a moon today.

And no, it wasn't the moon itself, that was in the other direction.

It was Hold On:

While I’ve enjoyed Garden, Hold On is one of my absolute favorite tunes by the band. It is easily my favorite non-album track and like you, enjoy all three versions of it we’ve had shared with us.
Alright you convinced me.
