you might. Begin the Begin is probably the best song on pageant, although I may personally prefer I believe. And if Life and How to Live it isn't the best song on Fables it is certainly Driver 8

I like the Fables ablum. Of the Berry years, it seems both Fables, and Monster get the least love, but I really like both.

Can't believe this song is still available. It's probably my favorite song on Hi Fi.

Pretty much. And since I waited too long to take a song from Pageant, I'll take it over Hyena and Underneath the Bunker.

I have to admit that this is not one I really love, although I know I'm in the minority. The music and performance are really good but I've always been a bit put off by the lyrics.

I was thinking of holding off on taking a song from Hi-Fi until the very end just because it's so deep. There are still 3 songs from Hi-Fi I'd be happy to have

I feel like I could have made smarter picks here and there because I didn't plan anything out and just kept picking off the top of my head, but when I look at my team I probably have one of my two favourite songs from 8-10 albums, so I can't really complain.

I kept a list of my favorite songs from each album and crossed them off as they were picked, and usually made my pick for an album when there were only 2-3 of my favorites left. So every one of my picks reflects a song I really like. I never had to settle. But this also means I sometimes passed up on songs I liked a little more to be sure I wouldn't be stuck with something I liked a little less. It was a defensive team. We'll see if it hurts me.

I like that you took the lifting in round I

I heard the demo version of that song the other day and I couldn't help but wonder how much of an influence it had on Unthought Known



the reveal version is SOOOOOO much better, though

A selection of my favourite lyrics from my team:

"Relax, defense defense defense defense, yeah yeah yeah."

"Blue blue blue blue blue blue blue blue blue blue blue blue. Naked and Blue."

"Never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never."

I knew I should have taken The Apologist.
