    Overrated: I love the song, but I can't help think that Given to Fly is a little overrated. I also think the song Breath is overrated

    Underrated: There are a few, but Get Right is loathed on far too much. Whipping, Satan's Bed, Last Exit and God's Dice are a few others!

    Overrated:Smile,love it but its the most common "rare song". really any rare song off of yield, Ed just cant do those that well anymore.sorry
    Underrated: BREAKERFALL, the hartford one kicks so much fucking ass. Anything else off Binaural, those songs need to be played more...not yield songs.

    funny is that I like yield more than binaural....haha
