Breath is a titan, with that huge, defiant sound softened by the solidarity and curious intimacy that is at the heart of all the best stuff on those early records. One of the best bridges in the catalog, with maybe my favorite lyric. this is a no brainer for me.


I'd probably vote for Ole over Unemployable though. The last 40 seconds or so of Ole (the solo and outro) are really good, whereas there's almost nothing about Unemployable I find appealing. Probably the weakest song on S/T for me.

Breath isn't as exciting to me these days. Unemployable is such a fantastic and odd riff with a great Ed vocal melody to tie it all together. Its a lot more unique compared to breath.

Breath is a monster, no doubt. Also has one of the greatest bridges of all time.

im just working this out right now.

At a concert I much rather hear unemployable over Breath these days. I mean, how about that outro for unemployable? Its great.

Breath is a great song, but I tend towards the atypical PJ tracks, the weird ones. The unique riffs, the guitar tones, and one of the best arguments for Matt's role in the band -- Unemployable, hands down.

If that's the measuring stick, though, Ole is the one I'd most want to hear live. :bammer:
