[Neo Cassady]

Disc 1. Disc 2 is hit or miss.

[billyboatkid]

Damn that's hard.

I love like half the songs on one and half on two.

They should have just condensed the best into one great album.

[Iron Aeroplane]

I have to say disc 2, because I only really enjoyed "I Used To Have a Heart".

[IceAge/HeatWave]

vexed through have at thee! was the best stretch on the album, so i go two.

this next effort will make or break this band for me.

[MattRM]

I think I like disc two more.

[VIVALAMATT]

Disc 2 has some of the hardest jams, but Disc 1 has "Retarded In Love"

[Sic Transit Zeb]

gotta go disc 2

[SlappedActor]

Disc 1

I've said this in other threads, but this album would have been greatly improved if it had been made a single disc.

[tommy's ghost]

Still can't see why people complain about an abundance of songs. My favorite of the two is Disc 1.

[EmaleeMae]

Disc one.

[voncorn]

Disc One easily. Although Disc Two has a couple underrated Say Anything gems like "The Truth Is, You Should Lie with Me", "The Word You Wield", and "I Used to Have a Heart", I find nearly the rest of the tracks off Disc Two to be really meh.

[MyNameIsRoss]

One.

But I didn't like IDOTG that much, I tried to get into it.

[exploration #4]

Disc 1 hands down because it has no weak songs and has Sorry Dudes My Bad which is my favorite IDOTG song. While I think the second disc has a few weak songs I still like every song on IDOTG unlike most people.

Disk 1 had Died a Jew, which is the weakest Say Anything song ever. That's my only complaint about that cd though. Disk 2 has some forgettable tracks though. Plea is amazing. however.

Strange. "Sorry Dude My Bad" is my least favorite off that disk. I skip it every time. It just seems to lack the same kind of substance Max Bemis is amazingly proficient at creating. But it is damn catchy.

[punk89]

I see it differently. None of the songs are forgettable but just not as good as the stand out tracks. Sure some of the songs, such as Died a Jew have outlandish lyrics but its adds to the charm of the album. IDOTG has so much more variety diversity, and expirimentation than IARB that reason enough makes its infinitely better imoAlbums are meant to be listened to as a whole and IDOTG is no different

Died a Jew is not a bad song, but it is less creative musically than most of the other songs. AND -- I can't seem to find the placement of this song in regards to the concept of the album. Perhaps Max could explain it (some kind of personal religious crisis?), but I don't find myself listening to it all that often.

[I am Mick]

thats actually really tough. Both have some good songs, both have some awful songs.

[batmannj]

Disc 1 for sure. I like the whole album, but the first disc is by far the best.

[AussieBoy]

off topic slightly but, i liked ...was a real boy, heaaaaps better than ...is a

wow.. and alive... r prob the only SA songs i like

[MADSTA]

First one flows better.
Although the second disc does have the best song of the album on it. (Plea)

[futilespider]

i went disc two. tuff choice though...this is one of my favorite albums. i lke pretty much every song, minus died a jew and truth is you should lie with me.

[Keagan Ilvonen]

Disc 1 for me. I ended up playing more tracks off of it.

[dumhed01]

I really can't decide.
I think i may actually like them both evenly.

[DejaNew]

I got into 1 first, and I haven't got out of it yet.

[Machu505]

Disc 2 easily.

[Poe-tryGirl]

Disc one.

[ZeroGravity107]

50/50 for me. I think I'll say Disc 1 though. It's funny to see everybody's complete mix of responses to the different tracks.
