And before it starts, both songs are better than Big Wave.

Red Mosquito has a subtly fantastic vocal melody from Ed. Half Full's melody always sounded too forced and unnatural for me to enjoy it as much as I enjoy Red Mosquito. But that's just me.

I'm a big fan of both songs. But I prefer Red Mosquito. I mean, if you're gonna make me pick between the two.

Guys, Red Mosquito and Half Full can coexist peacefully. I like both equally for different reasons.

My ideal No Code - the album that I would rank at least #3, maybe #2:

1. Sometimes
2. Hail Hail
3. Who You Are
4. In My Tree
5. Smile
6. Off He Goes
7. All Night
8. Red Mosquito
9. Lukin
10. Present Tense
11. I Got Shit
12. Sunburn

THAT is a fucking great album. I've been listening to it over the last coupe of days and I'm addicted.

"Around the Bend" is maybe the single most beautifully recorded song in the entire PJ catalog. If you want to remove it from the "No Code" you'll have to go through me first.

Which won't be difficult, mind you, but my efforts will be noble.

RM is a better track and this should probably be in the admit something thread but I don't really care for either.
