I wasn't sure about Shackler's when I first heard it but absolutely love it now, Brain is the star of this song.  My favorites so far are Sorry, If the World, and Shackler's - in that order.  Also, TWAT is epic imho.  Once you get used to the overproduction you don't notice it.

All in all there isn't a song I don't like.  IRS is average but better than 95% of the crap on the radio these days.  The solo in TIL is quite average too.  I'm glad to see you have a real good go at this Finck, but you should have left it for one of the professionals.  Tylerdurden, your comment about the Rhiad solo is absolutely fucking hillarious, and most probably true.

I'd consider Danny Carey a better drummer than Brain, but only just.

Off topic, but I could watch this guy drum for hours on end;

I voted for Sorry simply because it must get out there and into peoples heads.  TWAT should definately be a single, I think this song has the most longevity out of all the songs on the album.

Here's my theory on Rhiad:  Tommy, being one of the writers, had a final say in what solos etc are included.  He chose Ron because he doesn't like Bucket.  This is the only feasable explanation I can come up with.

Also, I think I've listened to "Sorry" a few too many times, and it's starting to lose it's magic for me
