This will be an interesting matchup, but it's a no brainer for me. I Am Mine is my favorite song on either Riot Act or Binaural. I love the lyrics, the unbalanced sea shanty feel to the song, and it has one of mike's finest, most cathartic solos that perfectly complements the newly born hope at the end of the song.

I like the mood and story of Army Reserve, but the chorus always felt like it belonged in a different song, and it hurts the final product.

Happy When I'm Crying has grown on me a bit, but i'll always prefer Bookshelf's version, and I wouldn't vote for it over these other two.

I like Happy When I'm Crying and the verses in Army Reserve but this is a no brainer for me, too. I Am Mine.

Two of these are fine; the other is "Happy When I'm Crying." Viva la Jack.

Army Reserve is a good song. But it's fighting out of its weight here.

Happy When I'm Crying and I Am Mine are monsters. I'm voting for I Am Mine because the song has more sentimental value to me, it's a close friend who is always there for me. And the lyrics are fantastic. That's what edges out Happy here. I'm not happy about the way I'm voting this match, but it's what has to be done.

I'm not very familiar with HWIC; I just now listened to it for the second time ever. And it's clearly the best song in this match.

[epilogue]

I'll be Happy ( ) if it wins.

[PHATJ]

I like "I Am Mine", but I like "Army Reserve" more.

[E.H. Ruddock]

Happy When I'm Crying is fantastic. I liked I Am Mine a lot more when Riot Act first came out, but not as much now.

Happy When I'm Crying. Love it.

[E.H. Ruddock]

Also, get chud in here, he'll vote for Happy.

[Strat]

Love Happy When Im Crying. Really wish PJ would get back to weird side detours like that, or rather, make those the norm. Would be great at this point in their career.

That being said, like Joey, I am mine has a special place in my heart on top of it being a fantastic song in itself.

I am Mine

Goddammit. Two of my absolute faves in the same round (and I Am Mine is one of my least favorite).

I seriously can't decide between Army Reserve and HWIC, so I'll abstain.

[chewm]

Army Reserve by a landslide. I am Mine is boring and I never understood the love HWIC gets sometimes.

I don't get HWIC either. It does nothing for me.

Reality is what I see

This is bullshit. Happy When I'm Crying the superior choice in this matchup. It's not even close.

[PHATJ]

This is bullshit. Army Reserve is the superior choice in this matchup. It's not even close.

Fixed that for you.
