Vote for Gods' Dice. I really enjoy RC, though. Especially the big drums.

I don't think I've ever listened past the first chorus of LTRP. I really hate it.

there's a great solo waiting for you at the end if you do

Stone had an interesting idea with LTRP, but the band and Ed’s end product is not a great song.

That intro promises a pretty cool song.

"LTRP" is definitely a song where I look back on what initially bothered me about it and think, "Man, what a whiner." It's a fun, dorky little tune that rightfully earns its place in the junk drawer of their catalog, alongside various lost dogs and holiday singles. Some time away from PJ definitely did this one some good for me. But I'm with liebzz -- would it have killed them to let Stone sing it?

I haven't listened to "River Cross" since a couple months after Gigaton came out, I don't think. It sticks in my mind as one of my least favorite songs on the album, but I'm feeling some renewed love for all things PJ at the moment so it would probably be a good time to listen again.

"Gods' Dice" will be tough to beat though.

River Cross is a walking at dawn/dusk kind of song.

There's ice and like six inches of snow on the ground here -- if I do this, it will be in circles around my living room.

at least turn the lights down. River Cross requires a little bit of seduction.

Stip has never gotten this right. He never will. And that's okay. At this point it's endearing to me.
A song has to earn proper punctuation

The key change in gods dice is one of my favorite moments

Stip’s comments on the first three tracks on binaural anger me

LTRP is fun as hell to play on guitar. What a goofy little opening riff. The way the tuning plays it really makes these dumb bar band rock riffs sound quite a bit more engaging. Stone definitely should have sang.

River cross is a late career highlight.

Hmm. River cross or gods dice.

Watt, if you are out there, we’re cool with Stone singing.

When Eddie Vedder is your singer someone else should take the mic only for the rarest of circumstances
