Definitely. The ONLY song I find myself skipping on the regular is Movin Away. Of course I prefer some songs over others, but I always find myself enjoying the "weak" ones too. Such a fantastic catalogue they've given us.

Three times. But all have been lacking in the Tennessee Fire department which may be skewing my list.

But listen, there isn't a bad song on here. Ask me in a week and it could be different haha and nothing is more subjective than art.

They Ran could be higher for sure.

But if this is to bash Librarian, I don't fully agree. I think there are a lot of good things about Evil Urges - they're just grouped with a lot of not-so-good things. If they trimmed the album to 10 songs, I think we'd look at it differently.
