    Love Boat Captain doesn't really suck when you get down to it. the ending especially is nice. Still think the title sucks though. I mean can anyone from usa (and some worldwide fans) NOT think about the cheesy television show from the 70s-80s when you hear the words "Love Boat"? I know, maybe it's meant to be humorous, but ehhh..

    I never thought Sleight of Hand sucked, but I was too young to realize the impact of the song and appreciate it when it first came out. It really resonates with me now - Kinda wish I was still too carefree to understand! ;)

    Not songs that sucked, but ones that I app. more now I've heard them live:

    Porch - love the version on the 3rd Gorge show, the middle bit, the "hold my hand, walk beside me" bit, when it kicks back in after an improv that seems to go on for ages (in a good way). Awesome example of how a song has evolved during the live shows.

    Present Tense - No Code is their best album (it's a scientific fact!), but it wasn't until I heard it live in London in 2007 that this became my fave song (previously it had been Release).

    Rats - Now I didn't much care for this at all on record, but again, hearing it live (Germany 07) really changed my outlook on this little number.

    Evacuation - I thought it was a clumsy weird-time-signature-for-no-reason lame rocker. and in a way it is. But I really love focusing on the lyrics and drums. Love the chorus, bridge and breakdown and how mike plays notes like a siren at the end. :D

    Get Right - For awhile I thought it was a weak sounding half assed unfinished rocker. and in a way it is. But when i first played the vinyl (at a reasonably loud volume) the song sounds full and energised. I like the way ed sings the verses, the clapping, the bassline, and the solo is super cool. I like the shirt too! Too bad the song never worked out live.

    Oh and Help Help, Never really cared for it until i heard a live version.
