Strip The Soul
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Strip the Soul and Wedding Nails are the obvious two least best tracks, IMO, so Strip the Soul until it's gone.  Regardless, this album as a whole is utterly fantastic, obviously.  :hat

Prodigal, but I'm fine if Strip the Soul goes.

Lips of Ashes again.

Strip The Soul is an interesting track. For the longest time, I thought it was one of the weakest tracks on the album. Then one day I just listened to it and thought "shit, since when did this song kick so much ass?"
And now it's my fourth favorite song on the album. It would be a shame if it went so early...

Strip the Soul. But I would be fine with Prodigal, Sound of Muzak or Collapse. If it wasn't for a few standout tracks, IA would probably be among my 3 least favorite PT albums actually. But much thanks to Blackest Eyes, Trains, Gravity Eyelids, Heartattack in a Layby and .3, it's somewhere in the middle.

It's a shame that the strong B-Sides from the IA sessions didn't make it on the album. Chloroform and Drown With Me are better than 80% of the album.

FFS! After Creator in the first round, Strip the Soul is going out as well now?

This used to be my favourite PT album and that's because almost every single song is ridiculously strong, though there's a couple that are significantly weaker. Stop voting for my top 5.

I voted Collapse, but I could have voted for The Sound of Muzak, Trains or Lips of Ashes just as well.
Hey dude slow the fuck down so we can finish together at the same time.  :biggrin:
