Two songs that I wish were produced in an earlier era. The jagged sound of S/T doesn't do Marker any favors (Yield would have been great here), and Severed Hand needs to be more explosive then it is (Vs. era, maybe). But marker is the better song.

A couple years ago I would have voted for Severed Hand without hesitation. It used to be my undisputed favorite on the album. But Marker has made a case for itself, improving year after year. It's just too good of a song to ignore. It's become my favorite on the record with Parachutes a close #2. SH has dropped to the third spot.

Vote for Marker.

This round has a few that I don't care much about. I don't love either song or hate either song.

Team Severed Hand because I'm trippin' on acid.

Same top two. Marker is marvellous.

I think these two are my six and seven

I really like both of these, tough to separate.

Avocado isn't a bad album really.

It really isn't. There are indeed a few clunkers, Gone, WWS, and Inside Job particularly, but overall, there are some solid songs. It's probably the best of the last three.

I enjoy the music, the drums in particular, but the lyrics are pretty trite.

For the hate I give Matt on the Jack songs, I really, really like his drumming on Marker.

Okay, but aren't most of the lyrics on S/T trite?

Sure. That doesn't pardon Gone's though.

But if the most of the lyrics on S/T are trite, and you are criticizing it for the same thing most of the other songs on S/T have, then why does everyone rank it so low on that album?

Personally, I'd say it's my favorite Avocado song. And I actually think there are some decent lyrics in there. I particularly like "when the gas in my tank feels like money in the bank."

"Gone" is dull beyond belief, and the chorus is an unmelodic mess. Like seeing a bird try to take flight, but it's covered in molasses.

I'm voting for "Severed Hand" in this round, since "Marker" feels like a big missed opportunity.

Perhaps it's Ed participation all around (Lyrics, delivery, melody). I don't know man. Something has to be next to Inside Job at the bottom.
