I understand there are probably going to be haters out there but fill in the blank.
Pendulum is the best song since Nothing as it Seems.

    I'm no hater, but it's not the best tune on the album. I do hope to catch it live here soon, heard its killer

    I've heard it live twice now, and I think it is in the running for the worst song on the album with "my father's son".

    Easily beats anything on Backspacer and probably Avocado too. Possibly the best song they have released in 10 years (along with Infallible).

    First of all gotta say it is great to see love for Pendulum, IMO, the best song on the album. It is the best song since:

    The whole LB album is great!

    Pendulum needs another minute of substance to it, otherwise its not even in the top 3.

    MFS, Yellow Moon, Infallible.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    Then it's a hell of an album. My Father's Son is pretty great to me.

    That slower bridge ----> that Jeff bass lick ----> that classic Ed scream = auditory boner

    I like Swallowed Whole a little more than Pendulum and I am a big fan of Yellow Moon which I also like more than Pendulum. Which isn't a criticism because I like Pendulum a lot.

    To those talking about My Father's Son, I think it's an okay song. I definitely love the second half of it while I like the first.
