All of them, tbh. The short ones are brutal and insane, the longer ones are moody but still heavy as fuck when they need to be, the vocals are awesome throughout. And they still write some of the best guitar lines metalcore has to offer. My personal favorite is Gold Teeth On a Bum, but honestly, they all rule.

Everyone is saying that's the best song, but I think Farewell, Mona Lisa is far and away the best off here.

Thats a close second or third since Widower is also up there. Those three seem to be the favored tracks here, but I think its only because they're memorable since they change it up more than the others. But all the shorter ones are just as good IMO, just less likely to stick in your head later.

Also, if you avatar is from Arrested Development, I love you.

Haha, it sure is; it's Michael Bluth :P



Something about the last two minutes of Mona Lisa is just god damn brilliant and captivating. Widower is likely my third favorite.

That show is fucking classic dude, I watch it every year or so and always lmao.

And yeah, by the time it gets to "there is nothing to gain from this INTERFERENCE" you already know the rest of the album is going to be amazing. Farewell, Mona Lisa has to be the perfect opener for a DEP album.

I agree, it is the perfect opener. That line 'What did you expect from us, we're murderers! Murderers and liars! and rapists! and thieves!' sounds amazing. And I wasn't expecting much from this after hearing Ire Works.



Btw- that show is likely the best show to have ever aired on television: it's witty, clever, and all round entertaining as hell. So many hilarious references.

I liked Ire Works, this just takes all the poorly executed, but still good ideas from IW and blends them into a cohesive unit so they actually work.

I love that they never wasted anything on that show, there were always lines like "I've made a huge mistake" that kept showing up and being more awesome every time haha.

Can't believe this is still at a 4.4.



I hear something different in a track that interests me every time I listen to the album.
