I listened to Get Right for the first time in a while recently (came up on shuffle on my iPod) and it ripped way more than I remembered.

Meh. A bunch of b-sides. I vote for In the Moonlight here! (Since it's gonna lose against No Way and it certainly deserves to pass the first round.)

I can't believe "Come Back" is as close as it is. What an awful song.

I listened to Leaving Here the other day, and thought "Man, if they had recorded Come Back in '96 with Jack, and done an EP of that, Leaving Here, and Gremmie, that could have been pretty cool."

I feel like I keep finding myself on the verge of repeating things I've already said in previous March Madness tournaments about these songs, so I'm just going to start copying and pasting my old posts verbatim:
"Come Back"'s biggest offense is volume -- heavy-handed snare, wailing stadium distortion on an otherwise tasteful guitar solo, set in a key that forces Eddie to push his voice to the most unflattering outer reaches of its range (largely the reason that "real possibility" line has become one of modern PJ's most quotable memes) -- it sounds like a soul song by a rock band whose primary point of reference for soul music is other rock bands who have made rock facsimiles of soul songs. I would like to hear it covered by someone who could really hit this kind of song out of the park, because as a composition I think it's really solid. It's just too..."amped."
