Most Under-rated Mg(b) Song?

[OneAngryPossum]

If I Was A Tidal Wave is a wonderful little protest-style song that doesn't get brought up too much. Might just be my political bent, but it's one of my favorites.

Been listening to WLR&RR a lot lately - the whole album seems to go fairly unnoticed in Matt Good's catalogue (I anticipate the same will be said of "Vancouver" when all is done). Going back through the record, tracks like "Buffalo Seven" and, specifically, "Empty Road," stuff I never really paid much attention to prior, are greatly climbing my list of favorite Matt Good songs. Very under-appreciated work, IMO.

I was thinking the same thing today while listening to that album.

Definitely. Blue Skies Over Bad Lands was always a favorite, but listening again recently I was really impressed by the albums consistency — ignoring Alert Status Red, which is kind of charming for its datedness. The album is especially notable considering it's basically a complete acoustic 180 from Avalanche.

I'm a big fan of Jenni's song or life beyond the minimum safe distance.

I always inexplicably loved middle class gangsters.

The War Is Over is a great one too.
