    I still call it a Bob Law. Gotta get a shirt that says that. Kind of like the “I Still Call It Pine Knob” shirts.

    I like it on the album, but can do without either version live.

    The album version is just pure sex. Newer version is way better than the original.

    I voted new but I loved the more prominent hornlines in that debut version, particularly the fire outro line.

    I prefer the new version.

    But I miss the outro they used to do in the second half of the tour in 2016, like here-

    Bob Law was far and away my favorite new song debut from 2015/2016. Again & Again is not close to my favorite Come Tomorrow song. Still a great song, but I see it as a huge drop off

    Poll fail. What you asked in the title of the thread and the question in here are different.

    Bob Law is a bad song. Don't miss it.

    I just don’t see that much of a difference. The song is basically the same exact thing

    Once again don’t see much difference and can’t see how bob law deserves that many arrows to indicate that it’s that much better

    This is not a SW 2004 vs SW 2016 discussion

    It’s pretty simple Tyler, Bob Law had more soul. It had more pace. It had more Carter, Fonz slap bass, Dave actually seeming like he cared about what he was singing. Again & Again is droning, boring, flat, and meh.

    Sugar Will was great in both of those years for several different reasons so idk what you even mean.

    A&A and Virginia were extremely well done on the album, and better than their live versions. Two of my favorite tracks the band has ever recorded.

    Bob Law had Carter going off, which I love, but still would take A&A every single time.

    He’s referring to the Jam from the 04 version being different than 16, it’s a big difference, but as you said both are great. Again & Again is structurally the same as Bob Law, but it doesn’t sound nearly as good. And as you said; Stefan, Carter, and Dave (which is the core of the band) sound way better on Bob Law

    "Again & Again" is a great song on the album! It may be one of the best songs on there. But, they have yet to pull this off in a live setting. It was a better live song when it was called "Bob Law".

    "Sugar Will" 2004 was amazing. I would have loved any version of that on the album, even if it was more like the 2016 versions and was renamed "Ain't Poison".

    I'll tell you what I miss... Bismarck. By far the best of all the new songs so of course it gets left off the album and put on the shelf live.

    you are over-exaggerating the difference in the song in 2016 vs it in 2018.

    Then im comparing SW in 2004 vs 2016 and the difference was that it was a shell of its former self. where in A&A the song is virtually the same. No need for ten greater than signs because you are over-exaggerating

    I’m not over-exaggerating. Not IMO at least. I’ve tried to give it a chance and even liked it on the album at first, but it falls flat in the end.

    Sugar Will was still good in ‘16. I saw 2 really good and fun ones.

    I mean I just pressed the > key a lot idk how many ones it deserves sorry it was too many for you...?

    I think I like old Bob Law over A&A. New version is growing on me live but I'll take the old. Bigger point here, too bad Bismarck has been shelved!

    I agree with the second point. Complete opposite with the first point. Sugar Will is one of the best songs they’ve wrote this millennium in my opinion

    It was my favorite too, of that batch. I don't like Bob Law/Again and Again and I can't stand Samurai Cop.

    Bob Law just sounds like an unpolished version of Again & Again with Dave rushing through the keys part as he struggles to sing and play at the same time.

    I love the album version but think they both sound like crap live. Went to 6 shows in 2 states this summer and heard it 4 times lol.
