Racing in the Street again, for me.

 

[martha]

I can count on both hands the times I've made it all the way through Racing in the Street.

 

[phanan]

I'll go with Something In The Night in a vain attempt to save Racing.

GAF voted for Badlands.

Take him down.

Something in the Night -- Racing deserves to stick around for a couple more rounds.

 

[bono_212]

GAF voted for Badlands.

Take him down.

I'm with you.

Racing's not going anywhere. Gonna need more than four votes to oust it.

Candy's Room. Never did it for me.

 

[corianderstem]

It took a long time for Candy's Room to click with me, but it finally did about a year ago. Now I love it.

 

[LemonMelon]

Candy's Room is the only song on this album that gives me the rush all of BTR does. The rest just kind of sits there. It sounds like Springsteen, but something really weighs it down. Maybe it's just too super cereal for me.

 

[phanan]

Perhaps it's just too depressing for you.

 

[LemonMelon]

Which is odd because I adore Nebraska. It's just juxtaposition between the music and lyrics, I think. Nebraska is stripped to the bone, while Darkness is very much in the vein of BTR.

 

[If you shout...]

I think it's just because the record sounds so fucking contrived, forced, and self-aware, but maybe that's just me. I'm with LM, on this one. About both this album and Nebraska.

Racing in the Street is the shit.

RRRRRRRRRRRacing In the Strrrrrrrrrrets

[corianderstem]

Because you're a race car. I mean, duh.
