Yeah Fly Trapped is one of this alb's sleepers, gud track

A solid 50% of Good News is disposable tbh, so idk if that's a fair competition

Education and maybe Fire it Up are the only stinkers on here, everything else rips

Fire it Up and Florida are underrated. The last two tracks should've been before Spitting Venom.

Surprised Education gets more flak here than Steam Engenius - that one is a little too zany

I thought "Steam Engenius" was the consensus weakest on here? Always been a favorite for me though



Also, who brought the average down to 3.5? >:|

"despite your opinion of the band" - I am still just saddened and a bit confused by the paradigm shift of seeing MM as a lame band in the last decade-plus. I LOVE their early records but love the newest stuff too. I always akin them to My Morning Jacket in terms of a jarring discography shift but still appreciate both halves so much.

The fact that the beginning of Fly Trapped In A Jar sounds like the ending part of Nine Inch Nails' Closer is the weirdest but funniest shit ever

Lmao



Honestly this album has weirdly bad opening lines in general. March Into the Sea, Fire It Up, and Missed the Boat come to mind.
