Album Rating: 5.0

This, State Faults and the Static Dress album are my top 3 of the decade, would have to go through the years to see if there's anything close to them.

I actually really like Magic, it just has some horrid production choices. Fun song tho, and I can imagine how pissed the cod bros were after unlocking it

Album Rating: 2.5

Magic and something like Good Morning are basically indistinguishable to me from the perspective of just being a mash of styles, sounds, noises, vocalfx. Absolutely not my jam.

Album Rating: 5.0

Beautiful Morning has probably the catchiest chorus on the record. Understandable perspective though, I appreciate the creativity here but it definitely has the potential to sound like "random bullshit go" type of record.



My top 5 of the decade is none, too many sweet jams to pick winners. I guess this and Framing Hanley would cut it.

Album Rating: 5.0

Tbh I think G has the best chorus on the album, those female vocals really add a lot

Album Rating: 4.5

G and Easier are my favourite choruses.



Don't think either would translate well live, though.



G hasn't sounded great from shitty youtube clips I've seen, and I don't think they've played Easier.



I'm actually worried about the next time I see them, and all of that worry is on Matt. (Assuming they ever tour here again)

Album Rating: 5.0

G sounded great when I first saw them supporting this record, and tbh I don’t think Easier would be too hard to pull off. They already have the vocoder sounding great when they perform Cosmic. Really the only thing that would be tough is the vocal production on the verses that makes it sound a bit muffled… which I honestly don’t really like. So I think it would maybe sound even better live.



And yes you’re right, they haven’t played Easier or Beautiful Morning, or the t/t technically but when the lights come up a recording of it plays.



Honestly I’m kinda surprised they haven’t played Beautiful Morning, I think that track has so much potential to win over fans that don’t like this album, considering that, even with the interlude, I think it would fit snuggly on any number of their older records. TBH I think it could seriously fit in just fine on Nightmare or even the self titled.



Plus it’s so Alice In Chains coded and they’re my fuckin goats, so that would be extra cool to see live. Instrumentally it literally sounds like something Jerry would write and Matt even seems to be emulating a Layne Staley style cadence. Really the only “out there” part is the interlude, how serene it sounds before descending into hell with that absolutely demented solo is just too cool.



Unfortunately I don’t see them playing either of them going forward. TBH we’ll be very lucky to even get any of the GOD songs either. I’m just glad it seems like they’re keeping Game Over, Mattel, We Love You, and Cosmic in the rotation, and depending on if they drop another album, I could easily see them scrapping Game Over since it really only works as a set opener imo. It would feel so weird to have it on the setlist as anything OTHER than opening the show with it. I think they’ll probably play Nobody every time going forward. They always seem to play the lead single (or rather most popular song) off of every one of their albums.



Unholy Confessions, Bat Country, Afterlife, Nightmare, Hail to the King, and The Stage get played at pretty much every show. I think I’ve only seen them *not* play The Stage and Unholy Confessions once, and that was night two of their SOAD coheadliners, so the set was shortened. And out of all of those Afterlife is the only non lead single but it’s by far the most popular song on the self titled.

Mate, I could talk A7X with you for hours haha

Now WHERE IS THAT SONG LIST

Album Rating: 5.0

Sounds great fam!



And Dude I know, these brothers at my work both got Covid so I’ve been covering for both of them for the last week, i get Wednesday and the weekend off tho



Maybe I’ll finish the list on Wednesday, email it to myself, and boot up my PC on Saturday or Sunday



Hell, if we’re slow tomorrow maybe I’ll just start it then add it piece by piece. I’ve got most of it worked out but man, there’s like 20ish songs below the top 10 that are so hard to rank. My absolute favorites were easy, and the bottom of the barrel shit was even easier, but it’s these middle ones that are giving me trouble
