Title: OSI - Free - Round 1
Post by: ReaperKK on February 10, 2012, 07:05:13 AM: "Home Was Good", I really don't like this song, kills the momentum of the whole album.

Let's try to not muck this survivor up like the last one

Vote goes for Better.

Just about everything on here is amazing. Although it starts a little weak...I think the first two tracks are just OK, and I will often start the album with Go.

It also lulls a little bit with Kicking and Better...but it ends really strong. (although it's my understanding that I'm in the minority in *LOVING* Our Town)

So as much as I love them. I could see my vote going for Sure You Will, Free, Better or Kicking. Time to pull out the four sided die again.

In looking on it, Better or Free. Ok, I vote Better.

Everything on this album rocks the house.

Yeah, in my eyes (or ears) Free is the best OSI album by far! :metal My favorites are Bigger Wave, Go, Better and Simple Life. Of course the lyrics in the latter ain't Kevin's best work but I like the sarcastic tone they have.

IMO Bigger Wave to Simple Life is the strongest part of Free while Once and Our Town aren't the best possible closing duo.
