Yeah, I'm a really big fan of all three of these songs. This is probably the hardest match for me this round.

I agree with stip here. I actually do like all the songs, but none are in the top tier for me. Also, I have grown to hate Lukin. It's terrible live. I still like it on No Code though.

The result was correct though. All Or None is beautiful and has one of Mike's most tasteful solos.

I don't usually have an emotional reaction to Mike's solos, or, to be honest, most guitar solos in general. They can wow me but I'm rarely affected by them in the way a great melody or lyric can. The solo in All or None is one of the exceptions.

Vote changed to Lukin. That guy needs so big love right now.

I was so happy, then...

GODDAMNIT I'M GOING TO LUKINS

I got a spot at Lukins!

I don't like Habit either. Never have.

I don't trust the PJ opinions of anyone who doesn't like "Habit".

This guy is pretty much right all the time, really knows his stuff.

I really like Education, a lot, but All or None just hits me so hard sometimes.

I'd maybe vote for Habit over all 3 of these songs.

Thought you hated Habit.

I think the chorus is really irritating, and I'm overall not a fan of how eddie shrieks the song, but the verses are solid, the riff is a monster, and the outro is just fantastic. So it depends on which part of the song I'm focusing on. Overall it's slightly above average, but parts of it are really really great

I'll agree that the outro is fantastic. The rest, not so much.

The only good thing about Habit is listening to Off He Goes and then getting to immediately skip to Red Mosquito.

Habit erases the nasty taste of that self indulgent tripe
