Oh wow, Last Soldier. That song rules. Wonder if they ever recorded if. Not so sure about the songs you’re removing.

I’ve said it before but Riot Act came out when I was in high school and I didn’t appreciate it. It’s really clicked with me the last few years as I’ve entered my 30’s. Really solid album. Ghost is my jam.

Bu$hleaguer tarnished their best album. It sounds horrible. Remove it and you have near perfection.

Nope, takes a 5 star album down to a 3.5.

I actually think Bushleaguer sounds really cool. Its the lyrics that are bad. The song itself is actually pretty interesting.

Totally agree with MJD on this one.

If Green Disease/Help Help occupied either of those two roles they'd be doing it much worse, but having all six bloats the album. Down/Undone saves it.
And removing Green Disease and Help Help also makes both those other song pairings stronger because you think if this is the fillery stuff this is actually pretty good.
I think you're least favorite Riot Act songs are my favorite Riot Act songs.
Same. I actually love all the songs he's trashing. "Cropduster" is my favorite Riot Act song by some distance. "Down" is simple-minded bullshit
i'm with you here too.
"Down" (minus the lyrics) always felt like Hootie and the Blowfish

Remove Get Right and add Sad.
Make Bushleaguer a hidden track.
5/5 album.

It wouldn't be 5/5 due to I Am Mine/Thumbing/You Are. That really hurts any momentum.

You Are is the best song on the album.

Get Right is one of my least favorite songs the band has ever recorded.

It needs a Corduroy/Do The Evolution caliber rocker in the middle of the album. You Are is a fine song on its own but its a letdown after the dreariness of Thumbing Way.
