Please type carefully. You're making typos and then counting the votes is a mess. My Terrible Ways' initials are "MTW", it's nothing like what you wrote.

Holland Town. It's just one long hook-less verse and people have been far too kind to it.

I like the verses but the choruses of IJNYM, particularly the backing vocals, are like nails on a chalkboard for me. But I'm not ready to vote yet...

I'm voting for Fare Thee Well. I like concert versions I've heard better than this one. Plus, it's a cover.

I hate Highway to Lowdown, but I'm voting for My Terrible Ways because 1) it's my second least favorite, 2) it's obviously more willing to go.

I agree about the chorus of IJNYM, but the verses are too good. I'm still voting for "Where the Wind is Going," though apparently I'm the only one who doesn't much care for it.

uhm, nope, you're not alone

where the wind is going is the weakest one left (and the weakest one in general, I think)

Another one for Highway To Lowdown. (But I do agree that Where The Wind Is Going and My Terrible Ways could be improved upon and there are better versions of Fare The Well too. I find myself singing the first line of Holland Town a lot when I'm not thinking so it's obviously got something going for it.)

At last, people voting against Holland Town and Fare Thee Well. The cover on Disc 1 didn't last that long.

My Terrible Ways to go.

Frankly, I think it would be a pretty good song without the ugly intro. And coming right after the excellent Real El Rey doesn't help either. But yeah, I'll vote it off next round I think.

I think the intro to WHERE THE WIND IS GOING is solid gold, the best intro of all-time maybe..
And almost forgot, my vote goes to MY TERRIBLE WAYS to be removed next.

Did everyone that dislikes Where the Wind Is Going hear it first on the Honeycomb advance? I heard it for the first time on FMRM and it was one of the few tracks to stood out on the first listen. It's not the best FB song ever, but it's catchy as hell.

It's the opposite actually. The song sounded kinda good on the Honeycomb leaked version, when compared to the other songs on the album. But FMRM is way better than HC and WTWIG now sucks.

How could it have the best intro ever? It is the exact same first 2 bars as "Kiss My Ring"...
