Well, all the songs are absolute gems but..If I had to pick one (apart from Dare You to Move because technically that's already been released before) I think for me I'd say..
"This is Your Life"

well id say "on fire"... it was one of the first songs I learned how to play on my guitar, it was the first song I played for a large audience, I'm really connected to this song, so I'm going with "On Fire"...

On Fire is definitely my favorite, but Twenty-Four is a very close second (:

Since Dare You To Move was previous release, although it still counts, I'd have to say Twenty-Four!

Man, that's a tough one. I'd say say possibly tie between Meant to Live and Dare You To Move. But it's tough cos I love the whole album!

This Is Your Life, and then Meant To Live, 24 and Ammunition. In that order.

Geez....very hard to pick...think I would have to go with Twenty-four or the title track...yep...going with The Beautiful Letdown....love the words!!

Wow.

I would say Meant to Live or 24. But there's a lot of solid songs on that album. I'll go with M2L, I suppose.

Ender, I love "Ammunition," too! It's such an underappreciated song.

Eight years ago, I'd say that "we are the fuse and the ammunition" and 3-4 yrs. ago I was hoping that I'm bent for more than arguments and failed attempts to fly. Now, I think that we are a beautiful, wonderfully-made, perfect letdown; as in, ashes to ashes and dust to dust we are salt in the wound.

This album is a powerful force in the more swiftly-changing years of my life. As is the legend of chin.
