I stand corrected on I Will Drive You Home - I heard a 30s clip and dismissed it as filler. The longer snippet on iTunes reveals it to be far better. (But again, I had no idea of the direction the song would take as there is no live version)

I think the only thing that really bugs me about Roller Coaster is that "close your eyyyyeeeees" in the chorus (the hight part of "eyes"). Ok, it sounds like Jon would do it live nowadays, and therefor pretty natural, but surely he could've done better in the studio.
Other than that, the backing vocals could be a little higher in the mix, but that doesn't ruin the song for me.
