Because I got sick and tired of waiting for that last damn one to end, knowing full well who'd last longest on the island, haha.

3 days for this round.

i hope light years makes it far, when i first heard it during the trailgate era i thought ozma was going in a great direction and i was really excited assuming the rest of the album would sound really technological sounding for lack of better words.

I like ozma

I just don't think Bad Dogs has much to offer, whereas I think Shibuya and Andrea are lovely songs.

I think all the songs range from good to Samuel to fantastic. None of them, I hate. There are, however, a select few that I either skip through or just plain don't think there's too much to them, but I still like them.

there's about 5 or so songs that shouldn't be here. Unfortunatly they're dividing the vote and thus letting Bad Dogs lose :(.

I like ozma

the two songs ryen wrote by himself (i think) are the two losing.

Man, I like "Your Name". :(
Yeah, it took me a long time to get into "Your Name" because it's so anti-climactic, and I always questioned why they had it in so many live shows, but then one day it just clicked, and I reeally started to like it.

I cant believe someone voted for Come home Andrea either. But I guess it is you Mike, all of your opinions seem to be the opposite of mine. Well I guess your probally proud of that though. :supereyesroll:

Unterreiner is tall and surprisingly thin, given that the floor of his closet is stacked high with junk food. Boxes and bags of Doritos, Twinkies and Ho-Hos spill out onto the floor. He has towels around his window to keep out the cold air at night. "I hate this old house," he said bitterly, then changed the name of an unfinished track to "Cold Day."

I think from mixture of lyrical value, a hook, musical coherency, non-boring-ness factor, and overal goodness, the weakest songs in my opinion would easily have to be:

Come Home Andrea
Light Years Will Burn
Curve In The Old 1-9

ouch those are favourites of mine
if i can revise it would be:

bad dogs (it really has nothing to it and i hate the lyrics)
gameover (you know for a fact that this song was meant to be acoustic)
turtleneck coverup (just not that strong of a song imo)

Wow, you can listen to Curve in the Old 1-9 without shivering?

I never said they were bad, I like the songs...they're just the weakest to me, compared to the rest.


EDIT: I just listened to Curve in the Old 1-9 again, and maybe it doesn't deserve to be at the bottom, it's still pretty good, but Light Years, for damn-sure. It's good...but the weakest in my opinion.

And I must stress people..this is but one person's opinion.

I kinda can't believe that "non-boring-ness" was a factor, and yet Andrea and Light Years still came up, while Your Name, Shibuya and Restart didn't.

Fantastic Max

I dunno, I just feel that there are other songs that deserve so much of a higher position, such as:

Wake Up
Eponine
Restart
Gameover (despite many people hating that it was released electrically. I do love the acoustic version(s) but I still really like this version as well)
"Cross my heart, hope to die, stick a pizza in my mouth."

Light Years Will Burn is by far my favourite song on the album. Ozma are superb at closing albums.
