    They're both very clunky songs that are trying too hard, excuse the pun. The lyrics of Visions are corny & unfortunately Felder does not have the voice to sell the song, although I like the guitar work. I like the lyrics of Tryin' but I find Randy's voice too strident (which it isn't in other songs). They lack that essential something which would lift them above average.

    Well it doesn't really surprise me that we are all over the place in our opinions of these songs. I would vote for Tryin' over Visions although neither of them are among my favorites. However, I like them better than several others that are still standing, including this one ...

    I cast my vote for Take the Devil.

    Looks as if I can vote strategically again so I vote for 'Too many hands'.

    I love it. Front to back beginning to end. Although in the minority, I really like Felder's voice and I wish he could have sang lead on more songs. I just love the music on it. I feel it's pretty special because it was the only Felder lead vocal AND it was his time to shine in all ways.
