edit: I promoted Life Wasted. It's not quite as great as the other two, but it should be there.

I'm a little surprised myself that I feel like putting Life Wasted in the GREAT category. But I'm doing it - I actually like it a whole bunch, some great chunky Stone chording and I love the transition into the bridge. I know some people think it's ham-fisted and boneheaded but I can't help it, I just kind of like it.

On certain days, Severed Hand might even climb higher - but I'm not quite sure today. It's certainly on the upper edge of good.

This record is just such a shame. They had a bunch of really good songs and some great ones, they could have made a really fantastic record.

I felt like no songs on this record should be classified as "great", but I listen to Inside Job, Unemployabe, and Severed Hand alot. They may not be Objectively great, but they seem to be great subjectively.
