I've been listening exclusively to Disc 2 this afternoon and I have to say it's not an easy choice. A lot of the songs have cool elements and parts I really dislike. I like It's Just Not Your Moment a lot in the verses but the choruses really hurt, for example.
My vote's for Down to You. There's nothing in the song that really bothers me, except maybe some of the "You-ou"'s sound offkey, but it's also got nothing I really like. I won't miss this one.

I stuck it on my discman and played along with it earlier today. Thankfully, we've got the song database for chords and lyrics.

| (I like everything on the second disc. Down To You does seem like a filler song to me but damn the band sounds good on it. Someone else pointed out that it's reminiscent of recent Dylan stuff and I agree. But I am glad that I'm not a native English speaker so I can focus on the band's light touches and not listen too closely to the lyrics. Frank's not quite beyond clichés yet like Dylan is. Sometimes perhaps, but the vocal on this track doesn't carry them too gracefully. I like his tragicomical delivery of My Terrible Ways. Kiss My Ring is just funny. If Don't Cry That Way gets voted off first I will.) |

You are correct Darwin. That song is not a favorite of mine by any stetch.

I like Down To You, actually. The chorus certainly reminds me of Dylan, and I love the intro/verse. My Terrible Ways is another favorite, and Don't Cry That Way is beautiful. Kiss My Ring is one of the tracks that just won't lodge itself in my brain!

This is going to be brutal. This is a great CD.
I'll vote for Kiss My Ring, winning by a nose over the cover song which I like but I don't like the version on the album so much. |

Carl and llama, could you please tell more explicitely which song you're voting off? You've posted a bunch of different songs and you can only vote once.

My first vote stands, IJNYM. The second post was just me sighting my next vote.

Have you heard the live solo version? That's where its true beauty lies. I can't even listen to the album track, I'm gonna burn a copy with a live version instead.

I like disc 2 much better than disc 1
I might be too late (and I haven't counted, so this might not help with the tie...) but the choice for me is easy
It's Just Not Your Moment
there are some Frank Black songs i don't love, but only one I think is cheesy |

yeah, but the bass! Think about the bass!
Anyway, the tie is between Down to You and Kiss My Ring, so that doesn't really matter.

Seems we're stuck in this round, so I'll change my vote from Down to You to Holland Town. That was my initial choice anyway, and I can't believe it hasn't been mentioned once in this game. So that kills Kiss My Ring and the ruond is now closed.
