Of The Earth is vastly overrated.

True, but Inside Job is just awful. Gotta vote for OTE here.

That may be true, but "Inside Job" is vastly poopy.

I like OTE better, I think? Yes, very overrated. But I'm voting for Inside Job bc I've always loved that strange, almost creepy instrumental intro before the acoustic guitar kicks in. And also like the tiny little instrumental outro to end the album, just wish that part was longer.

there's quite a few nice moments in inside job, and it's another one of those songs where if you can tune out the lyrics (hard for me to do) you've got an enjoyable piece of music.

Ooo this one is actually tough. Two songs that I feel like have a lot of potential but also have their week points (some lyrical "Huhs?" in IJ, for example), but I've always talked about how I enjoy the way OTE doesn't exactly hold together.

The opening minutes of IJob remind me of Jar Of Flies. I don't think I've heard JoF in a decade but it seems to be sonically similar in my mind.

Both of these songs are missed opportunities for me. I enjoy moments but I don't think the whole is worth it.

inside job has great moments, the song could have been amazing.
Wish the lyrics didnt suck that much

Still voting for it.

Of the Earth is one of the best songs they've ever created. Dying for a studio version.

The problem is those best parts are completely ripped off from another song. McCready is a total hack.
