Never Destination and River Cross are too dull. I went River Cross.

For me right now, probably Buckle Up. I just don't know about this one.

Buckle Up & Retrograde are the two I am most likely to skip.

I don't skip any (yet), but I dunno, River Cross just seems...like they tried to pile too much song onto a shakey foundation. It worked better for me when it was just Ed pumping his organ.

I love River Cross and everything they added to Ed’s performance. It’s wonderful.

Take The Long Way. A token MC song if there ever was one. The only skipper for me.

I've changed my mind 2 or 3 times but I'll now say that Take The Long Way is firmly the "worst" song on the record. I still like it, but the others all achieve something higher at some point. And MC has done much much better.

The bridge/ending is killer though.

Take the Long Way is one of the best songs PJ has released since Binaural.

Gigaton has zero bad songs, but my bottom one is still probably Buckle Up, even though I really enjoy it.

Retrogarde continues to be the ok song for me. Not a bad song at all.

The first “half” (everything before the amazing crescendoing outro) is ok, but probably the least interesting part of the album for me. Then the second half hits and it’s absolutely overwhelming audio beauty.

So the first half is a 3, the second half is a 5. Averages out to a 4 for me.
