I would say Retrograde. Its still an ok song, but im not really going for it yet...i do believe it would very much suck if this one was on LB.

I’m surprised to see so many votes for Superblood Wolfmoon. The song rocks and is so catchy. I still listen to it constantly. Not the best song but certainly not worst.

I don't think we have a bad song on this mama-jama.
But I did pick the least appealing to my own ears (River Cross :oops: )

OK so my Gigaton complaints:

I don't like some of what I see as the poppier elements of WES; and it bothers me because so much of it is amazing, in a vintage PJ way, like really exciting (basically everything from "home is where the broken heart is" onwards)

I can't help thinking everything before the guitars come in on SBWM is unnecessary time-wasting

I actually like "Retrograde", but you can tell Ed recorded it earlier with BoB (ticks like pronouncing "the" as "thwuh"); but it seems like Josh probably turned his voice back down to meld with the rest of the songs, and let them have that amazing end section, so whatever

and that's it; everything else has surpassed my wildest 2020 dreams

I’m beginning to think there is no worst song on Gigaton.

Buckle Up is the best song, at the very least top half quality.

I voted for Buckle Up, but I take it back. I felt like it didn’t belong on this album. Just seemed out of place. But while it still sticks out, it most certainly has its place.

I read someone else in this thread mentioning how the album ends with 17 minutes of slower songs, which is a flaw. I love this album but I agree with that.

I know River Cross is beloved by many. So I don’t think it’s “the worst song” but so far it is my least favorite.

Bucke Up is experimental PJ done right. It is intriguing, it is different, has a purpose, aims at causing a certain feeling to the listeners and it challenges band members musically to try things beyond what their musical instincts dictate.

There's just no way this is the worst out of the bunch. Just no. In fact, it's top 5 for sure.

imo.

I was going to vote for Alright but then I saw SBWM so close to winning worse song that I voted for Buckle Up.

They were tied at the time.

Im shocked Buckle Up is so high.

I think the four contenders for worst song are pretty clear.

"Superblood Wolfmoon" "Never Destination" "Take the Long Way" and "Retrograde"

I went with Take the Long Way because out of the two boring rockers in the middle of the album its the one I like less right now

Can't help but feel "Superblood Wolfmoon" is listed so high due to the song being released as a single...
