I'd say (for me) Fallout Today > The Dark > The Haves is one of the worst runs in all of the PJ extended universe.

Middle for me. Definitely not a favorite, but except for the Haves I like all of Earthlings. The first two singles are my bottom two.


But I adore In The Dark

Wotman's... uh the Deal:

Waiting For Stevie
Setting Sun
Upper Hand
Got to Give
Fallout Today
React Respond
Won't Tell
Invincible
Scared of Fear
Brother the Cloud
On My Way
Wreckage
Dark Matter
Rose of Jericho
The Dark
Long Way
Power of Right
Mrs Mills
Good and Evil
Something Special
Running
Try
The Haves
Picture

I basically love everything thru On My Way, and really like everything thru Something Special. The last 4 are tough for me.

I'd move up Try, but this is probably close to my list too

Ha, The Dark is one of my favorite PJ-related songs of the past 15-20 years.

You're not alone. Seems like most fans love it. For some reason it just doesn't click for me. But I think Picture is one of the best on the record, so what do I know?

Hopefully the end of the Wotman Jam era isn't far away.

I like the first one and the third one a lot. Second album was so so. I still need to listen to it a bit more.

Man that record was *not* good.
I thought this was the most inspired Eddie sounded in several years and that carried over to Dark Matter.

Help me think of a better EV composition outside of the band.

it has something special in that role. Which I like a lot, but it comes late.
I would need to listen to that song again. But my memory is that I really don't like it. Like, it's probably better than Something Special? But maybe not because I could sing you Something Special and I only remember Fallout Today because I have a visceral negative reaction to the title.
Man I friggin' love Fallout Today!
yeah me too
