I'm confused on the results but for me it is an easy choice.  Take Elevation off of Bomb and it's a classic album.  SOI has three good songs.

Elevation isn't on Bomb.

And imho SOI has only a couple of weak songs. Maybe 3. The rest are solid to me.

For me, Bomb has one winner, one pretty good, one okay, and the rest is trash.

I only like HTDAAB better because of CFYT and OSC. SOI is moving up in my rankings, only third lowest for me now. I'm coming to the conclusion that while I don't love HTDAAB, SOI, and ATYCLB, the only album that I really could do without is SOE (even that has great songs on it).

Sorry, I'm confusing their songs that were hits but were actually shite.  Vertigo.  I meant Vertigo.  Take Vertigo off of Bomb and it is a classic album.

I completely agree, it's easily one of their best albums and it's not even comparable with the tragic mess that is HTDAAB..
