I like "Teen Beat" a whole lot, it's just this fun and inconsequential bit of rock and roll infused with Lindsey craziness. I think "Empire State" is ridiculousy fun too, and I like "Oh Diane" (although yes, it's filler) and "Make Me a Mask" as well. As for the Tusk songs, I just think they can get a little same-samey when you're listening straight through the album, but I like them all.
I am notoriously unfond of Tango in the Night and I find it harder to look beyond the production on Lindsey's songs compared to, say, Christine's. Given "Family Man" has a nice solo but otherwise manages to sound even goofier than "Caroline" I'll call it a tie between those two. I used to be more forgiving of "Caroline", but I forget why now.
Also "What's the World Coming To" is really bland and disappointing, it's like "Say You Will"'s twin.
