Pick one album to remove from Live's discography., Only one! Options

[Bob]

Today's bonus tournament songs were from SFBM, which got me to review the album again to see if my not-so-favorable opinion on the album had changed, as I haven't listened to it much after it was released in 2006. Unfortunately, it did not. But then we got The Turn! I know that some don't like it for a myriad of reasons, but I really, really do, and still listen to it quite often.

SO! Here's a question for the masses that feel like answering a fun and light-hearted question on this Memorial Day: If you had the power to remove one album from Live's discography - like it never existed - which would you choose? SFBM or The Turn? Why? I, hands down, choose SFBM.

What about you? Why?

I really hesitate between 2 albums, but because of the overall bad quality and the lack of great songs I'll throw SFBM out.

I was working part time in an arena and I could finally listen to Heaven on the Saturday morning after downloading it from the job's computer, you know when it was still taking a zillion time to download. God I was disappointed. I mean, I know The River wasn't going to be a rock song, but we could still have expectations for Heaven. Ouch. Good pop song, nothing more. It was the end. With V we could even argue they were trying to fit the rock/rap thing. What were they trying to do with Heaven? Way too safe for me. Lakini's Juice was released 6 years before that, think about it.

BOP is generic with plenty of meh songs (Heaven, Sanctity of dreams, Run away, Life marches on, EISYF, rivertown, Bring the people together, WAWFF). It makes alot of them. But they are still far superior than the meh ones from SFBM. I can stand some of the above, (maybe just not Run away and BTPT), but I just can't listen to the bad ones from SFBM.

Plus, SFBM is so badly produced. Ed sings with the tongue between his teeth or whatever on some of them and there's no instrumentation effort. The lack of musicianship/(evolution of it through the years) of the guys tricked them along the way. They had other priorities and we can hear it.
