I'd rank 'em like this:

1. Immortality
2. Deep
3. Come Back
4. Leash
5. I'm Open
6. Push Me, Pull Me
7. Soon Forget
8. Arc

And, for fun, their best antepenulimate track (third-to-last):

1. Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town
2. Sleight of Hand
3. Garden
4. In Hiding
5. Army Reserve
6. 1/2 Full
7. Aye Davanita
8. Mankind

I wonder where "Speed of Sound" and "Force of Nature" will rank...

    ...right.

    All of those songs are the next-to-last song on their respective albums.

    I wasn't doing it to try to prove my intelligence, I just thought "penultimate" was a pretty commonly used word, at least on the Internet.

    I admit I had to look up how to spell "antepenultimate", though. :D

    Smokey Robinson constantly looks like he's trying to act natural after being accused of farting.
