The Weakest Link - Now For Plan A - Round 3
#3

Thank Jeebus MMP survived. It's a fascinating song, exquisite in its lyrical minimalism, and the chord progression is wonderfully evocative - a sonic brew like no other in their catalogue, and a case of the band finding potent new vocabularies in which to work. I actually tend to agree that Gord oversings on it, but don't find it at all fatal to the track.

A brief eulogy here for 'About this Map,' though. While it's not a top-shelf number, and I'm not outraged by its elimination in the way I've been about some other tunes in these polls, it *is* an overlooked cut, with a nifty metaphor and some really great-sounding guitar work. A bit like 'Done and Done,' it presents its wares with a directness and simplicity that probably turns off some fans, but is, to my mind, attractively no-nonsense. Good song, we hardly knew ye.
