Vote for the song you believe to be the weakest on We Are The Same and after 48 hours, we will remove the two songs that have the most votes. As before, a song must have at least 10% of the vote in order to be removed otherwise it will carry forward into the following round.
The poll will end Tuesday at 11:15am Eastern.
Happy voting!

I cannot believe that any carbon-based life-form would vote against 'Morning Moon' in favour of bloated Rock excess like 'Depression Suite' or middling stuff like 'Love is a First.'
(Also sad, but not surprising, to see the excellent 'Coffee Girl' booted off in favour of a number of inferior tracks).

My vote went to Depression Suite this round, although could just as easily went with Honey, Please. The deeper we get into this poll, the more apparent it becomes that this is by far my least favourite Hip album. There are really only 2 songs on the entire album that I really love (Morning Moon & Last Recluse).

Despite a ridiculous 5 votes for the sublime 'Last Recluse,' I'm with ryan93 in being convinced that that song and 'Moon' are unquestionably the class of this album. I'd put 'Country Day' and 'Coffee Girl' on the next tier. I understand that 'Coffee Girl' rubs some people the wrong way for some reason, but there is no frigging way ANY votes should be going to Moon, Country Day, or Last Recluse at this stage of the poll.
I don't agree that this is their worst album, but that's another discussion. (One thing this album does is frontload its best material; that tends to help any record, at least to my ear).

My general view on this album is confirmed by the voting -- all other albums I've faced a much earlier "Sophie's Choice"....I can't believe I'm voting for this track...here it's going to be easy until the final two. And that's not to say it's necessarily a bad album, as a collective it somewhat holds together, but as tracks there are not many that I see as crucial listening to appreciate their recorded output.
