El Cielo Ranked
One of my favorite albums of all time. |
| 16 | dredg
Brushstroke: dcbtfoaaposba
Great intro, but that's all it is. |
| 15 | Sorry But It's Over
The weakest actual song here, I feel like it ends right before it has the chance to do
its thing. |
| 14 | Brushstroke: An Elephant In The Delta Waves
Amazing tune, but the others are simply better. |
| 13 | Brushstroke: New Heart Shadow
A nice little break, but it's extremely short and doesn't sink in as much as the other
songs. |
| 12 | Brushstroke: A Walk In The Park
It pains me to rank this at 12 because it's so damn good. But like I said for 14, the
other songs just have it beat. |
| 11 | Brushstroke: Reprise
The final half of this song is pure bliss. Unfortunately it gets pushed down because it's
only 90 seconds. |
| 10 | Convalescent
Gets pushed back a bit because it's kind of repetitive, but the song still has an
incredible drumbeat and some neat bass work. |
| 9 | Eighteen People Live In Harmony
This gets points for the amazing vocal delivery at 2:34: the bridge at 1:50 is also
pretty damn incredible. |
| 8 | It Only Took A Day
Quick, effective and mind-blowing. That's what she said. |
| 7 | Same Ol' Road
Amazing opening track, some great guitar lines and an epic vocal performance, with
an infectious bass line to boot. |
| 6 | Scissor Lock
Pretty much sums up everything the album is about: haunting ambience, light,
shiver-inducing leads, and a solid backbone of a drumbeat. |
| 5 | Triangle
This song never stops throwing curveballs, and that's what makes it so great. The
transition into the final chorus at 4:07 is amazing, with the hard-hitting tom-led fill
seamlessly stitching the two sections together. |
| 4 | Sanzen
Absolutely incredible, especially the super chill bridge at 3:01 |
| 3 | Of The Room
The drums on this are spectacular. Also one of the most euphoria-inducing choruses
I've had the pleasure of listening to. |
| 2 | The Canyon Behind Her
Ranked above Sanzen for the epic section at about 3:20 and of course the ending
choir. Beautiful song. |
| 1 | Whoa Is Me
Everything about this song is perfect. The amazing acoustic lead, soothing vocals,
epic jazzy polymetrical drum beat, and that breathtaking ending. Best song they've
ever done. |
