First off, I think I speak for many fans when I say that this is likely the SA album that's hardest to grow into; it definitely is if you started out with any of their stuff from the '90s. I wouldn't rank it higher than their later material, but it does have a unique quality that somehow puts it on a different level entirely, making comparison a little unfair. Suffice to say that it's a whole lot of fun to listen to when you've gotten past the first impression and realized that this album is a lot more than just obscenities and screaming.
As for the poll, I wouldn't be in the least surprised to find that one song in particular gets the most votes by a wide margin. I don't want to risk affecting the outcome, though, so I'll keep that to myself for now.
For me, it's a close race between Masquerade and Broken Glass. Masquerade is a hilarious, eccentric piece of pre-fame Soul Asylum coupled with Dave's witty and provocative lyrics while Broken Glass is, bluntly put, probably the "better" song of the two (and a brilliant contribution by Dan). As previously stated, though, I don't consider Say What You Will a typical album, and as such, I won't apply typical standards when rating it. Masquerade it is.
