02 Johnny Barleycorn
03 Fast Man
04 You Can't Crucify Yourself
05 Dirty Old Town
06 Wanderlust
07 Seven Days
08 Raider Man
09 End of Summer
10 Dog Sleep

Crazy Westerners and their crazy pickle misconceptions.

I will only accept the following:
"This is one pickle that should never have come from an onion."
Or
"This is one gherkin that should never have come from cucumber."

So I take it this is a vote for Crucify? Good man, good man.

I can't believe all the Dirty Old Town bashing. It's one of only four tracks that I put on my FB minidisc for the purpose of tube journeys. (From the first disc of FMRM).

There's no way Dirty Old Town will go before End of Summer. I'll tamper with the votes if necessary.

I don't understand how people can seriously vote off End of Summer. What is your objection? I love it! Probably one of the top songs on the album.

Listening to it right now... I hate the little guitar thingie right after the 2nd line of each verse ("sinks in the mud to decay" WAH WAH... yuck!). The whole instrumentation is super-bland, nothing ever happens, it manages to be even more boring than Seven Days. And that organ solo... it's terrifyingly bad. I feel like I'm listening to a Sting record. In fact I feel dirty. Urgh!

The vocals sound like karaoke.

I know the man has chilled and slowed down through time, but honestly, this sort of thing (imo) doesn't suit the Black. I offer the vocals as evidence #1. I try and imagine myself listening to this at a gig, and all I can think of is how bored I would be. And it's Frank Black, which saddens me a little. So much so, I think I might vote again. Yeah, in fact I will.

I evict End of Summer.

Thank heaven for selective hearing.

I agree with the others that don't like the vocal on that song. I also think that first album gets a little too mellow through the second half and this song goes in lockstep with that (besides Dog Sleep, which sticks out rather radically).

Democracy, or some semblance of it, will rule in the end.

Speaking of which, didn't we have a rule that the person running the Survivor wouldn't vote right away since those first votes tend to steer others esp. strategic ones? Not that anything is hinging on this outcome, but...

As for End of Summer, I really don't hear what you guys do as far as the vocals go. I wouldn't classify the song as mellow, but rather moody. The music is also very interesting technically, and I think it's a brilliant adaptation of Le Sicilenne.
