wouldve been an amazing cd.
 
I usually avoid comparison threads but...ah well, what the heck.

01. Miracle Drug
02. Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
03. Vertigo
04. City Of Blinding Lights
05. Crumbs From Your Table
06. All Because Of You
07. Yahweh
08. A Man And A Woman
09. Original Of The Species
10. Love And Peace Or Else
11. One Step Closer

That said, it was very difficult to pick some of them. I mean, I love Beautiful Day, Walk On, Kite, and When I Look At The World. But, comparing them to the HTDAAB tracks...it was just too difficult. Maybe it's just because it's still fairly new, but I think HTDAAB as a whole is leaps and bounds ahead of ATYCLB, and ATYCLB was the album that got me into the band... :|
 
It's like comparing a slop to the ocean, realy

Don't know if all of these were the best songs to compare against each other...Man and a Woman should have gone against IALW, maybe Wild Honey vs. ABOY. It's hard to match just by sonic similarities--ATYCLB doesn't really have a OOTS. You could also put POE against LPOE (similar subject matter) and New York vs. COBL (both new york inspired). OOTS vs. Kite (both about their kids) and Crumbs vs. WILATW (both about the church).

Sorry to sabotage the thread, but try this (my picks in parenthesis), put together :

BD vs. Miracle Drug (MD)
Elevation vs. Vertigo (Vert)
Walk On vs. Yahweh (Walk On)
Stuck vs. Sometimes (Stuck)
POE vs. LPOE (LPOE)
Kite vs. OOTS (OOTS)
New York vs. COBL (COBL)
IALW vs. AMAW (IALW)
Wild Honey vs. ABOY (ABOY)
WILATW vs. Crumbs (WILATW)
Grace vs. One Step Closer (OSC)

7-5 for Bomb compared to 6-4 on the other way. Still fairly close.

4. walk on
5. city of blinding lights
6. all because of you
7. a man and a woman
8. crumbs from your table
