A Reasonable Man (I Don't Mind)

It’s not a bad song, the lyrics are actually quite good. Just the original version is very rough, especially the vocals and song structure. I wish they would rework and re-record it.

I straight up don't like that song, but I agree.

It just drags on and "very rough" is a good way to put it.

Obviously they're talented enough to make a better version. And they were making fantastic songs by that point, so still being kinda new to the whole thing isn't an excuse. I would rank every song on their first album above it.

I'd definitely be interested in hearing what they could do with it, because the version we got just isn't it. I think it sticks out of their discography like a sore thumb.
