Hole In The World-the harmonies are great and I kind of like the Gospel feel, but it is repetitive and this isn't the best set of lyrics they've ever come up with either.

[sodascouts]

I have to agree with scottside. Of the songs left, I believe Hole in the World is the weakest, largely due to how repetitive it gets.

A word about Seven Bridges Road: I completely understand the objections to it, but it is a fantastic song and it sounds great. So, with that in mind...

I cast my vote for Hole in the World.

[New Kid In Town]

Totally agree Soda ! I love the song. I believe Glenn's voice was dubbed over by Don because Glenn had already quit the group. Remember, he refused to have anything to do with the others and work in Miami with them. Just MHO, but by the time he agreed to go into the studio in LA that song was probably already completed. Do I think it was right - no, but I still love the song.

I vote for Hole In The World.

I understand what happened with it, and it wasn't right, and it turned me off the song for good.

I vote for Seven Bridges Road.

You know, this was not done behind Glenn's back. He must have been OK with it. Otherwise, Felder would have been sure to tell us all about Glenn's anger in his book!

Heck, Glenn may have even suggested it. "I don't want to come in. Have Don do it."

I understand being upset and disappointed at the shattering of an illusion that this was the five of them harmonizing live - I feel that, too! And I agree it would have been better to hear Glenn's voice throughout, even if it meant some less than perfect notes here and there. The fact that it's not the five harmonizing throughout is lame, frankly. It makes the song less special, and that degree of studio manipulation makes the "live" aspect a real joke.

But I don't really understand the moral outrage and anger, if it was a choice they all agreed upon to achieve "perfection" (however misguided the notion is that perfection is more important than authenticity).

Glenn was not wronged or hurt by this if he preferred it to actual recording. They were accommodating him if that were the case.

So if Glenn wasn't wronged, then who did they hurt?
