Well shit. I really like that song. It was only by .5, and... I'm basing it in comparison to the rest of the record. No need to rag on my choices or anything.

WHY such a downer on ISHFWIALF?

Because it is crap. When I hear it, it makes me cringe. I turn stations and channels just to avoid it. I hate it.

I generally agree with most of your ratings but, even still, L Times doesn't hold a candle to Still (the words are relevant to ALL of us still searching for that SOMETHING) - in my opinion, and that is all I am putting forward.
