Frozen just doesn't do much for me. It's probably my most skipped song on this album.

Lyrically, Furrows might be my least favourite song in the catalog, including the EP.

But without Queen of the Furrows how would you ever know what sounds hens and roosters make? I don't understand why you don't appreciate Gord taking the time to educate you on the goings on of a farm yard (and four times at that!).

Ya don't just blurt Love is a First... because it's definitely not as bad as or worse than Struggle (or Exact Feeling, or Queen of the Furrows, or Speed River)

I think Struggle is easily the worst song; sad to see such a lack of love for Frozen (OHHH OHHH!), and Exact Feeling, which are two songs that I really like from this album; they are pretty great straight up rock songs, and I would think they would catch more peoples attention.

I may be in the minority, but I really like Struggle. Exact Feeling...is kinda meh, but it does have that strange/intriguing line, "I'm up to my tits..." Points there, I suppose. Queen of the Furrows is fun -- the pastoral imagery, Gord yellling at his breakfast, and that face-melting solo by Robbie. Speed River I like too -- "Hard stuff...give me a dose of the hard stuff. Ok, enough. Ok, enough with the hard stuff." Now, I do like the "I don't have the strength to pluck a grape..." line from Love Is a First, especially when I picture Gord acting it out on stage...but overall it's the song I crave least on the record. I'll take Speed River and Frozen in my Tracks (the 2 songs currently with the most votes) over Love Is a First anyyyyy day of the week.
