I don't think this is an unpopular opinion, the song is trash.

    Ehh, music is pretty good but lyrics are awful - it's a 4. Could be a lot worse.

    I don't hate Shake Me like many others here do. I never want it closing a set or show, but really have no problem when it's sprinkled into the set mid way

    Bismarck is far and away the strongest. I actually listen to it quite a bit, both full band and D&T. Wordy lyrics, solid imagery, good little story. Can't help but to hear a little Diamonds on the Soles in it. One of the first tunes from Dave that I've really loved in a long time.

    In no order, Bismarck actually falls into my Top 5 from 2009-2017..Squirm, Alligator Pie, Broken Things, Snow Outside


    Also, I think Death on the High Seas is much more forgettable than Bob Law. Seriously couldn't tell you how that song goes

    I wouldn't hate it but it got so overplayed. It felt like for a while every show I went to it was played. Maybe that's my fault for going to so many shows.

    I've been burned by SMLAM far too many times. Saw it 16 times. Encore second slot 12/18/12 and closed with it 6/28/13, 8/26/14, 8/31/14, 6/27/15, 9/5/15.

    Also my fault for going to too many shows. SMLAM should never close N3 at the Gorge though and it's happened twice.

    Agreed about Shake Me Like a Monkey. Not looking to end a show with it, but I've always found it to be pretty comparable to Too Much. I think if it was played less there would be less hate for it. Too Much was the Shake Me of the early 2000s, and then they finally added the killer jam at the end in 2004, which changed a lot of opinions on it. They also stopped playing it so much. But people couldn't stand seeing Too Much back then.

    I think by now my feelings towards Black and Bluebird have been stated, but agreed with the other fans of it. Great song. That last two minutes is what I envision it sounding like when I enter Heaven hahaha.

    They haven't been playing Shake Me to death the last few years either actually. I have been to 13 shows since 2014 and still haven't heard it believe it or not. Surprises me still.

    Shake Me studio version is pretty damn good. It's just doesn't sound quite as good in a live setting unfortunately.

    Listened to the Beach Ball studio version recently as well....don't know how that didn't make the actual album. Sounds so good. Same with Cigarette Lit. Should have absolutely been on Some Devil.

    Fairly sure this would be a very standard opinion (around here at least).

    I enjoy quite a lot the vast majority of Stand Up studio

    Agreed. Stand Up not popular on here, but I definitely enjoy most of the album. Studio versions though, with the exception of YMDT since it's a monster live.

    YMDT is great, but you're missing ABI which was phenomenal, Dreamgirl back in the day was superb, AB very good depending on the version...

    So true. Weekend on the Rocks ABIB is one of the finest pieces of music I have ever heard. There're a few absolute stand-out performances, that ABI is one (the Warehouse volume Seek Up is another... YNK Central Park Companion is another)

    I saw Hunger for the first time mid-set in 2013 and it was a great change of pace/dose of variety. Actually it was Sleep to Dream Her -> Hunger, and Hunger was a liberation

    When I first heard it I thought it was trash. Then the more I listed the more I liked it. I love it now.

    I mean not enough to go into a show wanting it. But I enjoy it on the car on the way to school

    Music is fun, lyrics are so stupid that it makes me not like it. Kind of like Hunger.
