I had to go with WC, but it was close. From start to finish I feel the WC songs fit better together (except for IV...which I never cared for). I also feel if you took the best from both you'd get a epic album. I am still amazed with the labels/bands choice for singles from both albums. I would love to be a fly in the room during that conversation, then I'd glide down and land on the label exec's collar and whisper..."no, no...it should be..."

I respectfully have to disagree. The sound of the two albums is clearly distinct, and I don't think a combination of the two would flow at all. Also, I just like them too damn much to think about cutting out any songs from either album. I would hate to make the decision(s) about what tracks make the album, and which become outtakes. And I know 'In View' has taken a lot of heat here on the 'base, but I'll still defend it. I was watching the video of In View from Barrie yesterday on thehip.com, and that song seriously rocks. Damn catchy if you ask me.
