There was a moment when I wasn't sure which song to pick from this album. Excluding the classics like Right Now, Did My Time, Alive, and Y'All Want a Single, I was still faced with many tracks whose raw energy was too perfect to pass up. But one song it must be, and so I came to Counting On Me. This was another one of those infectious songs that, after I'd listened once, would probably stay with me all day. The sinister intro, constant changes in intensity, and Jon's schizophrenic vocals all meld into a song which always leaves me with shivers, especially by the chorus, and the raw chaos of the breakdown.
I'd like to point out at this stage that so far I have been relying on my previous blogs about these albums to aid my decisions, but as this is the last album I reviewed, I am going to have to catch up. So instead my next entry will be accompanied by a full album review (hopefully).
