Weird outcome of the RNG - basically the end of No Code.

I'm Open does offer a pretty engaging soundscape, but I don't think Eddie manages spoken word very well, and the end up giving the lyrics an air of profundity that undercuts the message, which is not a bad encapsulation of some of No Code's theme.

I've grown to like Around the Bend over the years, and honestly I'm probably more likely to play it then Present Tense if either came up on shuffle. Present Tense is in Dissident territory for me. A really good song I just don't need to hear anymore. But I'm probably giving it my vote.
