Doublespeak is literally the only song on here i couldn't stand.
I'd have to go with All the World, either that or In Exile. I feel like the lyrics in All the World are too bitter/preacy for some people (i love them personally), so In Exile might be a better choice.

The song "Beggars" should be on here, it's probably the best song on the record. My vote from this list goes to "The Weight" edging out "In Exile" by a hair. Good for Thrice for getting fan input instead of record label input.

That being said, In Exile would make a better single. Catchiest song on the album.
