    You can't get heavier than "The End" lyrically. Sound wise - "Blood" is PJ at their angriest.

    It definitely doesn't hurt that Habit comes after Off He Goes! Punches you in the face.

    Tremor Christ is a super slow and really heavy tune that deserves mention.

    when i read the title of the thread , immediately thought to Grievance or 1/2Full .
    But after reading your comments, i would go for Deep of course.

    Lukin

    I've always consider that to be the heavist/fastest song PJ has.

    Blood and Leash


    I don't find Lukin heavy. Fast, yeah, but heavy?

    "Heavy"! I love it! reesdog, you make me feel young again!

    One of the really heavy songs to me is Rearviewmirrow- especially some of the more intense live versions.

    Im really surprised 'Breakerfall' hasn't been mentioned as I'd consider it to definately be one of the heavyest!!

    Very hard question to answer with one song.

    I feel Comatose should be a contender.

    Doesn't have to be one song, if you think there's more just go for it...

    Funny, the difference between 'fast' and 'heavy'. Are there PJ songs that are heavy, but not fast? I think about Zeppelin and their ability to be heavy without being fast. Dazed and Confused is a super heavy song (not particularly fast) but Achilles Last Stand is very fast, but not particularly heavy. It was the beauty of zeppelin. Before them, (and Sabbath), heavy just meant louder. They changed the meaning.

    So are there PJ songs heavy, but not fast?

    So am I nuts for thinking the live on two legs version of do the evolution is their heaviest song? It makes me question my definition of heavy.
    Anyway, I agree with a poster above that said lyrically, the end, could be considered their heaviest song.
