    I’m gonna try, but sheesh this is hard:

    Weakest:
    1. Why Go (no weak songs)
    2. Glorified G (no weak songs)
    3. Satan’s Bed (no weak songs)
    4. I’m Open/Mankind
    5. Push Me, Pull Me
    6. Rival (no weak songs)
    7. Bushleaguer (no weak songs)
    8. Come Back (No weak songs)
    9. Amongst the Waves/Unthought Know (possibly the two worst songs in their catalogue). 
    10. My Father’s Son
    11. Comes Then Goes

    Strongest (these will probably change by the day):
    1. Release
    2. RVM
    3. Immortality
    4. Present Tense
    5. Low Light (ridiculous to choose just one)
    6. Insignificance/Sleight of Hand
    7. All or None/1/2 Full
    8. Severed Hand
    9. Force of Nature (Great song, rest of the album is… weak)
    10. Yellow Moon
    11. Dance of the Clairvoyants 

    I have to say, choosing just one for most of these is insane.

    The completist in me wouldn't mind hearing some of these weakest sets either. Not only do you get to "check songs off" but the live perspective often will highlight stuff you didn't notice and the great energy will almost force you to like it as it'll be a fond memory for ever after. A heap of songs have done that for me at gigs.

    Buckle up is the worst. The band had to have been in denial when it made the cut for gigaton.

    Agreed it's just soooo bad. Stone confuses me. One of the greatest riff and groove merchants in the world and this is his input to the album

    Wow, this thread is a total crapshoot.  I saw "Black" and "Waiting for Stevie" on people's weakest list.  It's the twilight zone over here :lol:
