I probably wouldn’t even recognize Bad Poker and it’s still one I’m “chasing” after 112 shows

For a fake country song, some of the lyrics are actually decent and memorable.

I like bad poker, but it’s a throwaway. Did get my first one from a request though…

Only seen it at Jake & BB acoustic. Does that count?

There was a time when I wanted to catch a Bad Poker but then I saw four versions in a span of five plays and it lost its novelty. Checking ATU it’s surprising to see my last was in 2013. I’m fine with never seeing it again.

The existence of non-jammed versions of Bridgeless is a damn shame, but I chose to ignore those and vote with my heart. S-tier.

It was hard to pick between S- and A-… maybe I’m going back to S

I’m mixed on bridgeless largely because of the ending. I like some Jake and bb dual guitar action but it can get excessive quickly and bridgeless is probably the worst offender imo. As a noob it drew me in because they always play it tight and the rager energy is top of the game, but after a bunch of listens it’s an easy skip to the next track.

I’d rather them leave it unfinished 100% of the time too. Still an easy S-Tier for me, one of their best songs and a ton of good jams over the years.

Cemetary Walk 1 was one of my favorite compositions when I was first getting into the band but at this point it’s maybe in the 10-20s for favorite compositions and because it never gets jammed it’s a C for me

I feel the opposite, if we’re talking songwriting alone, the chorus and bridges of CW1 are some of my favorite UM personally, and both the piano intro and the slide outro are sick too. Jam potential aside, I really, really wish they still wrote songs that sound like this.
