more meaning and feeling? All or None OR Inside Job?

damen

They both have a soul-searching theme and an introspective depth. All or None is Stone's song and Inside Job is Mike's. I prefer All or None by a slight margin because I like how it remains bleak throughout while Inside Job crescendos with positivity...

all or none... definitely... i dont understand what people see in inside job... terrible lyrics and pretty blah music compared to the rest of PJ's work... i guess the new album never really grew on me though

all or none

lyric writing isn't mike's strong suit

Inside Job. No question about it. It's direct, personal, soul searching, beautiful moody intro and climax.

Inside Job.

I prefer All or None but Inside Job is still a good song.

Jammalambo

Lyrically they're both great, IMO..
Musically there's no comparison: all or none is better
but inside job is still a good song, the part where ed sings "how I choose to feel is how I am" is.. simply beatiful, there's no words to describe it

Inside Job is more emotional to me....err....it brings out more emotion in me, so therefore I think it is a better song. I guess I must relate to it on a deeper level than All or None.

inside job gets my vote

Underneath this smile lies everything
All my hopes and anger, pride and shame

I make myself a pact, not to shut doors on the past
Just for today I am free

I will not lose my faith
It's an inside job today
I know this one thing well

I used to try and kill love. the highest sin
Breathing insecurity out and in

Searching hope, I'm shown the way to run straight
Pursuing the greater way for all human light

How I choose to feel is how I am
How I choose to feel is how I am

I will not lose my faith
It's an inside job today

Holding on, the light of night
On my knees to rise and fix my broken soul
Again

Let me run into the rain
To be a human light again

Let me run into the rain
To shine a human light today

Life comes from within your heart and desire
Life comes from within my heart and desire
Life comes from within your heart and desire

All or none is the better song.....should be considered one of their elite songs.

I'm not big on the first two verses of Inside Job (lyrically and Ed's vocals).........but once it kicks into gear, it's pretty good from there on out.

In my opinion, All or None is one of the best PJ songs. The raw emotion in it is powerful. I also like Inside Job, but I'd take All or None without hesitation.

NeverbeenLedbetter

I like Inside Job a lot so I'm going with that.

Who would be trying to achieve a hopeless situation? It's tragically good lyrics by Stone and it's not that out of place to say it should have been sung by Stone. Then it would have been on Bayleaf, I guess. But Mike's solo at the end sounds great, so it's gotta be a PJ song.

I like Inside Job way better. Aside from having virtually the same guitar intro as Gone, it's fantastic. All or None is good, but doesn't really go anywhere aside from Eddie singing the last verse in a higher vocal range.

Inside Job is great.

Stereotype

All or none. It's more emotional. Hits me harder. Especially > To myself I surrender, to the one I'll never please.

stoneg

Inside Job for me.

Gmoney

all or none for me... it's more of a "pearl jam" song

ALL OR NONE.

That song is so beautiful and sad at the same time. There is so much emotion in Ed's voice when he sings it. And the fact that the band very rarely plays it (yet they have been known to soundcheck it a lot) shows you that Ed agrees with my assessment

Wow, I wouldnt go as far to say that the lyrics are horrible.....ouch ....

All or None. It's not even close for me.

Although Inside Job is one of the best songs on the Last Album... All or None is Classic PJ and should be played much, much more in concert. I burned a set of PJ travel discs from all the boots on my computer (2000-2006) for the road trip to the Boston shows this year. Both songs made it but if I had to choose one, it would be... All or None.

I really like All or None. The Benaroya Hall version is sick!!!!

justam

I like both songs as pieces of music, but as far as the lyrical message goes I prefer Inside Job because it is more hopeful.

Inside Job by far...It is the part of the totality of ID
