    Switch LB and Backspacer and we agree (But Gigaton and Self Titled are so close)

    Yeah, I think this is spot on for me too.

    I think this is my list as well.

    If backspacer and lightning bolt went out of print and disappeared off the face of the earth I wouldn't miss them at all. Particularly lightning bolt. I went back to listen to it for the first time in years while gearing up for the new album and couldn't get through it. Was even worse than I remembered. I do still like Pendulum though, so at least it had that.

    Classic
    Dark Matter
    Binaural
    Riot Act

    Good, not great
    Self-titled (a bit overrated, but solid addition to the catalog
    Gigaton (first half of this album is great, back half fizzles out)

    Meh
    Backspacer (going through the motions)

    Ughh
    Lightning Bolt (I'd like to forget that this one exists)

    Way too early to put a good ranking on Dark Matter.  Got to let it breathe and evolve and see where it’s taken in a live setting.  To me a song like Retrograde didn’t really stand out to me listening to Gigaton but after hearing it live it really jumped up the chart for me.  So right now while I dig every song after 3 days let’s let ‘em evolve
