Sharkattack
04.25.18 | 17 is so true. I hate it when the first song is the best. Makes it seem like the rest of the album is disappointing in comparison |
TheSpaceMan
04.25.18 | Siameeez dreeem |
Avagantamos
04.25.18 | Aphex Twin - ... I Care Because You Do (Arid Avid Jam Shred) |
DominionMM1

Drifter
04.25.18 | 16 is interesting pick. It's def one of the best on the album |
hal1ax
04.25.18 | pecan tree > dream house |
mortifierftw
04.25.18 | @Sharkattack It only works when the rest of the album is almost up to par and the first track just happens to be my favorite. It sucks for albums like Sister Cities and Handwritten where the rest of the album just never even comes close to that starting high point |
Yotimi
04.25.18 | 1, 7, 14, 22(obviously), 25, 26 agree

mortifierftw

rabidfish
04.25.18 | i'm listening to highway 61 by bob dylan and like a rolling stone is so so so much better than any other track in this. |

Project
04.25.18 | Hard agree on 7 and 11
4 is real good but Your Wild Years and the closer are better IMO
13, really? over the closer?
I'd also put (this list got out of hand fast)
TWY - Suburbia (Came Out Swinging)
Foo Fighters - Echoes, Silence Patience and Grace (The Pretender)
Mae - The Everglow (We're So Far Away...if you don't count the interlude at the beginning)
Lupe Fiasco - Testuo & Youth (Mural...same as above)
Mayday Parade - A Lesson in Romantics (Jamie All Over)
Paramore - Brand New Eyes (Careful)
Passion Pit - Tremendous Sea of Love (Somewhere Up There -- again, only if you don't count interludes)
Soilwork - The Living Infinite (Spectrum of Eternity ... in a HUGE way)
Wolf Alice - Visions of a Life (Heavenward)

BenThatsMyJamin

mortifierftw
04.25.18 | @ProjectFreak Wait you pick Livin Ain't Easy over Tellin Lies? That's a first
And I'm not a huge fan of Sister Cities overall and the opener stands out to me the most. The closer feels a tad cliche and doesn't hold a candle to some other TWY closers or build-ups
And I forgot about Jamie All Over
@bloc Yes. Yes it is. Fite me irl |
neekafat
04.25.18 | Reptilia is x10000000 better than anything else on that album smh |
onionbubs
04.25.18 | After the party is def my fav off that record but like the whole thing is gold sans bad Catholics so you cant really go wrong
Used to think livin ain’t easy sucks and then it clicked hard. Still not one of the better songs but look at its fucking competition |

BAG
04.25.18 | best song on saturation is star tho |
Project
04.25.18 | mortifier, I forgot the title track wasn't the closer haha. Tellin Lies is definitely better than Livin Ain't Easy, but I'll take After the Party over either one, and Your Wild Years over all of them |
rapideyemovement
04.25.18 | 5 is the first thing for me that came to mind when i read the title. Not that the rest of the album is bad, but it's so utterly beautiful it shits all over the rest of the tracks |
rapideyemovement
04.25.18 | Oh and 17 and 25 are kinda wrong, the closers on those albums are much better. |

|
OllieS
04.25.18 | I hate when albums are like this, the rest of it feels deflating (especially when the first song is really standout)
gotta say on 32 I think 'The Royal We' is better, although admittedly it's partly because the end of 'There's No Secrets...' feels like the former's intro :) |
RippingCorpse1986
04.25.18 | 24 needs more love here. Criminally overlooked stuff. |
BenThatsMyJamin
04.26.18 | "Suicidal Tendencies - You Can’t Bring Me Down"
Ah yeah thats another great pick |
MH18
04.26.18 | Agreed so hard on Raining in Kyoto, album really disappointed me.

04.26.18 | ' "Alice In Chains- Jar Of Flies - Rotten Apple"
HARD [2]'
'Nutshell' is even better so void |
Flashmobba
04.26.18 | nah rotten apple> |
DoofusWainwright
04.26.18 | Nuh uh |
DoofusWainwright
04.26.18 | Both hard 5 tunes though |
onionbubs
04.26.18 | both are like equal yea. I’d give it to nutshell tho prob |
Koris
04.26.18 | Opeth - The Leper Affinity
Rush - 2112, Hemispheres
Mastodon - Oblivion
Converge - Concubine/Fault and Fracture
Yes - Close to the Edge
Alice in Chains - Them Bones (though the entire album is 5/5)
And yeah, I have to agree with Doof. Nutshell is better |
BenThatsMyJamin
04.26.18 | Blackened [168164]
What a way to open an album. Also on the Anathema theme Untouchable Pt.1 undoubtedly |
bloc
04.26.18 | "bloc do you not love BLOC party??"
You know I do lol |
DoofusWainwright
04.26.18 | Untouchable Pt 1 is a good pick...Gathering of the Clouds is an important song for me too is why I didn’t put that one up |
BenThatsMyJamin
04.26.18 | Yeah another good tune I just never listen to that whole album anymore but Pt.1 still gets very regular spins. It's probably the best song with bad lyrics I've ever heard lol |
ZombieToyDuck
04.26.18 | Doof idk about Prison Song being best from Toxicity, but I also have to say picking a top track for that album is crazy hard for me personally. I'd argue Psycho is best and also incredibly underrated. |
mortifierftw
04.26.18 | Awwhhh I forgot about Prison Song, that's actually my fav SOAD song
Also I agree that Nutshell is better than Rotten Apple |
BigHans
04.26.18 | 31 is such a jam |
TronaldDump
07.08.18 | 12 would be pretty much on everyone's list of this category |

"Dead" is my fave on there, and Debaser doesn't even crack top 5 for me |
ArsMoriendi

and Without a Sound "Over Your Shoulder" |
