Life Wasted for now, but I'll switch to Army Reserve at any point if it seems like it has a chance.

This one is super easy.
Arc: I always thought I wanted a song like this until I got it. The Wolf on Into the Wild is a better version of this. I don't doubt that Eddie was coming from a raw place with this one, but the emotion has never fully pushed through
Army Reserve: One of Eddie's better stories from the back half of their career. Genuinely moving and cool atmosphere that is once again undercut by the sound and feel of S/T
Bushleaguer: Eddie's spoken word pieces just don't work for me, and what an utterly uninsightful take down of Bush, and even Bush's america
Life Wasted: 5 star song. Possible top 10 song for me. S/T's harshness works well here - gives the riff an edge and imbues Eddie's performance with a ragged energy appropriate for THIS song. The fade out of Mike's awesome solo is the maybe the most offensive moment in the catalog.

Army Reserve and that was an easy choice.
Ed's voice grates in LW. The RA tracks are 2-3 star tracks.

The fade-out in Lightning Bolt is far more offensive, picking Life Wasted here.

Remember when they played Lightning Bolt live and it turns out there’s an epic 1:15 jam in there!? Also more offensive: when Infallible transitions from verse to chorus, the added harmonica in Footsteps, no lyrics Brother, and Supersonic.

Stip rigging another match ...
Still voting for Army Reserve, though, and I don't even care.
