This is a tough match -- two pretty evenly matched songs showcasing two alternate sides of the band. "Wake Up Bomb" is such a great crunchy rocker following the dusty soundscaping of "How the West Was Won." But I'm going with "Me In Honey" today -- I've listened to "Out of Time" more recently than "Hi-Fi," and I was pretty high on Kate Pierson's vocals all around.

Wake Up Bomb is decent, but it's the monster tour track on Hi-Fi I like the least--it seems like there are elements of all these songs on Monster already. It's pretty good, but feels superfluous.

Me in Honey is just an absurdly catchy song with fantastic harmonies

I think I listened to the Milton Keynes broadcast version of "Wake-Up Bomb" too much - the Hi-Fi version always felt a bit too "live" (read: echoey drums) to me. (I like Hi-Fi a lot, but there are a few songs where I wish they hadn't used the live backing tracks.)
