Low-Life's worst song

it's not that Face Up is a bad song, it's just the one i tend to skip. Recently been playing it a little more but still not as good as the others...live versions sound very good though.

This album has held up very well over time. "Sunrise" is the only track I would even consider skipping over, so it gets my vote.

"Face Up" is a decent song, but nothing special. Feels out of place on such a moody album

But....ah, forget it. Sunrise RULES MR. Illinois...put it on again when something pisses you off.

one way conversations do not work some how....

it's between sunrise and elegia....i usually skip both.

this is a terrible decision to make. i chose "sub-culture" only because of those terrible 12" mixes.... eeesh!

Now, I'm sure everyone will bash on me because of this... but I choose "The Perfect Kiss". Now, I love the song to death, but the reason I voted against it is because it's edited. Not only does it cut out the kick-ass beginning bass line, but it's also missing a whole verse, the "when you are alone at night..." part.

It is one of my favorite tracks, so it was hard for me to choose againts it. But, I usally skip this track because I'd rather hear the 12" version from "Substance".

Subculture, In an almost flawless album it is the song I sometimes skip (if only to get earlier to the gorgeous Face-up)

my thoughts exactly.....just when im gettin into it, it fades out. the first version i ever heard of TPK was from the video, and nothing compares..... I just got this record a few months ago and I love it!! Dont really think theres a worst song, maybe most out of place, that would be Face Up..

The hardest poll I've ever seen!! All tracks are excellent!!

My vote is for "Sunrise", the weakest one. Remember their performance on "Pumped Full of Drugs" when Barney screams like a chicken 'cause Stephen is kicking the drums too hard? Pathetic. Ian Curtis would be ashamed...

"Sunrise"! i'd rather listen to The Cure's "A Forest"

Actually, this "worst song" exercise is having me thinking how immensely good they are. How difficult to find a really bad song (apart from RTS)is.

The abhorrant edit of TPK gets the nod from the ol' Muffster. Pure gash!

Let me get this straight. I love The Perfect Kiss, but the Low-Life edit does no credit to the song. Give me the 8 mins + seriously orgasmic version any day.

I can't recall the last time I didn't skip Elegia. In fact, I may never have actually listened to it.

There is no bad song on this album, but I chose The Kiss that Would Have Been Perfect if Four Other Minutes Had Been Given to Me.

nope...not going to bash you...hell, I'm going to agree with you...this song isn't very good without the "missing" parts!!!

Am I the only one who would gladly trade in the "missing parts" in favor of the last minute or so of the Low Life edit? I just think that the 12" version is too synthy towards the end and drowns out the greatness of the Hooky solo about 4:00 into the edit. It might just be me tho. I also think that the intro on Low Life is fantastic. Its rather abrupt but the cheezy stereo effect at the get go grabs me every time ;)

I vote Perfect Kiss. See the comments by Low-Life, Benny and that General Muffy or whatever dude.

Well, the intro on the Low-Life version wasn't even original. They just took the beginning of The Kiss of Death and swapped them.... No Hooky bassline = caca.

This is the hardest poll ever. Struggle to vote for anything but at a push would go for Face Up. Can't believe anyone could vote for Sunrise, this track does it for me. As previously posted - just put it on when you are pissed off and turn it up VERY LOUD!!!!

I completely agree...I discovered this album when I was (still am) going through a weird phase with my on again/off again long distance girlfriend....this song especially speaks to me

Ok, WHO VOTED FOR "THIS TIME OF NIGHT"!!??

I would prefer if there was a choice for all songs being great

I was torn between "Sunrise" and "Sooner than you think" but I went with the former.
