The verses are good, the chorus is great, the ending is outstanding.

Man, it just is. That whole album is a snooze fest, but I hate that song like most people here hate Amongst the Waves.

that and lightning bolt are really the only 2 songs that have any staying power from those albums, especially live.

Lighting Bolt is a pretty good live song. It was completely neutered on the album.

Severed Hand is the ultimate blue balls song. The drums and guitars in the first minute sound like they're setting up for something amazing. Ed comes in and there's a great pace to the song. Then the chorus comes and you think they're going somewhere majestic and it's a total dud.

ATW is one of the couple songs I like from the last two albums.

Unthought Known is a chore to listen to.

Unthought Known was done again, and better, as Lightning Bolt.

Correct. And every song on Gigaton is Lighting Bolt on acid, shrooms, all the beers, whatever pills the kids and old folks are taking these days, gummy bears, Dr. Pepper, rythem, melody, bass, sex, and Nintendo. It’s that much better X plenty.

Because they are weak, wannabe "anthems" that fall short of their lofty ambitions?

For me it's Marker in the sand. The verses are so dirty and aggressive and then the chorus comes in with all the impact of a wet fart. It feels like two very different songs slapped together.

I’m liking this one. The only song I played again after going once through the album last night.

Same with Infallible to me. It's awesome then that chorus is like, what?

Backspacer always seemed incomplete. Just Breathe, Unthought Known, several songs start out with some weight then just start repeating themselves or flatten out. It's like they had a great idea but had no idea how to finish it.

That being said, Gigaton is fantastic.
