While I Take You is another pergect song out from this perfect album I just wanted to say that I wanted to relisten this yesterday, I started, and I just couldn't finish it.... Drive....

[IDontNotDoThings]

Relistened to this album again (for some fucking reason) & yeah, I totally underestimated how abysmal Wot We Do is. Probably because it's near the beginning of the album & I just forgot how terrible it really is. But yeah, it's easily the worst.

[Dittomist]

I guess I'll go with Higher. After listening to this album again today, I'm ready to voice a very unpopular opinion: I get much more enjoyment out of DTC than I do with Tribe. It's just so damn perplexing and goofy!

[jjrock88]

Out of all the bands I listen to, this is without question, the worst album I've ever heard

Abysmal is really a good way to describe this

Drive, but I really could pick any song. I think At the Edge should win this one, and I would classify that song as somewhat decent. That's the best compliment I could give, but it's up against such pure tripe

[bl5150]

I would just like to pay tribute to all you masochists who are listening to the album in order to participate in this Survivor.

You said it. I honestly consider this the worst album I've ever heard.

For reference, here's a list of albums I've heard that aren't as bad as this one:
Blog 27 - Before I'll Die
Baha Men - Who Let The Dogs Out
Black Eyed Peas - The Beginning
Imagine Dragons - Evolve
Lou Reed - Lulu
Metallica - St. Anger
Yes - Open Your Eyes
Wolfmother - New Crown
Antrhax - Stomp 442
Linkin Park - One More Light
Linkin Park - Recharged
Bon Jovi - What About Now

^ all of those are honestly more fulfilling listens than DTC
(don't ask why I listened to the first three I was a dumb kid)

Drive

The riff is way too simple and primitive to be repeated for the first minute and a half, and the payoff isn't worth it.

[wolfking]

IDontNotDoThings, in what you were saying in the last round thread about the tracklist, I think this is something I actually noticed right away, although I only ever listened to the deluxe so I can't comment on the tracklisting.  Glad you came to your senses in regards to WWD also.

I wouldn't have a clue what to vote for now and I ain't relistening.

Higher

Drive is actually one of the more tolerable songs on the album, although that obviously doesn't say much. I remember that infamous interview with Wilton where he hinted pretty clearly at being unhappy with where the band was, and he said something like "My favorite song is Drive. It's about driving a car."
