LOL; I know I'm definitely in the minority, but the "brown album" isn't one of my favorites. I love When You Awake and Whispering Pines (both co-written by Manuel!), and when I was in high school I had "Look Out, Cleveland" on my Monday Morning mixtape, but the other tracks don't do much for me. A lot of them were better on Rock Of Ages, in my opinion.

(And given that this is a fan thread, I won't check in with my opinions on The Weight).
