Riad. It's just a little flat. Nothing really stands out.

I take Scraped to the grave for the guitar work alone. CD needed more Buckethead, more Cuckoos Clocks from Hell Buckethead.

Voted for Sorry, just because it's my least favourite currently.

Riad. Barely listen to that track and I feel it's the weakest song on the record. Slasherr did do a pretty sweet video for it showing the 2002 footage though.

Can we go ahead and select TWAT as the winner. TWAT always wins. And nothing is better than TWAT.

I'm going to have to listen to the album every night while this is underway. Want to judge them fairly and not go by my previous opinions on CD.  Not going to listen to the demos either which I consider superior to the actual album.  Like demo wise I consider Riad the strongest track musically but the album version blows.

ID, I do remember TWAT always getting props but Prostitute(which I never liked) had a lot of fans as well.

This I Love, that disappointed me, and I cringed when I heard it.

This I Love. Everyone else has already said it for me, but it's just a cheesy, awful track. I don't know what the fuck Axl was thinking putting that shit out.

Hmm...this is actually a tough choice for me since I find there to be several good (or bad) candidates here.

I've narrowed it down to either Shacklers, Scraped, and Riad.  Scraped has the worst lyrics.  Shacklers just isn't very good but I'm going to vote for Riad because I really hate that annoying guitar solo (it's Bumblefoot, I think) at the end of the song.  It's a disjointed mess.

If any of the other two songs "win", I won't have any issue with it.

This I Love has awful chessy lyrics as noted but I did like the piano work and the orchestaral work so it gets a pass in this round as there are more deserving candidates.

The last 3 or 4 days it's all I've had on on the car when I'm on my way to work or just driving around...I haven't listened to it in a couple years so my opinions on tracks now are different than they used to be
