Outside of a couple of tracks, I don't like The Wipers.

There, I said it.

Very tough for me to decide, but I think overall I'd go with Over The Edge, even with the thin production. Greg's voice sounds more ragged, like he had been through hell while in NY.

I voted for "Youth of America" because - out of the three - it's the hardest to categorize, and to my ears has the best tunes (the title track followed by "Taking Too Long" and "Can This Be" is a three-finger suckerpunch that floors me every time). All three are superb though.

Like the original Star Wars movies, I've almost always listened to all three back to back (only ever had that box set). Kinda hard to tear them apart. Before that I had most of YOA from the internet. That shit blew me away. Loved the sound of it. These days I tend to have songs stuck in my head from Over The Edge. Am I the only one who finds that Romeo song a little grating despite being simultaneously awesome? I don't quite understand that.

I got a copy of Power in One like 15 years ago and immediately did not vibe with it, but in the last few years I threw it on and I dig it. Love, love, love The Circle, also. That one is something else.
