Based on that, MYM is a 4 star song, which it isn't.

No, MYM is a 3 star song, just like Getaway and Pendulum are.

Actually I think they're all probably 3.5.

Well, the trouble is, there isn't much to play with between 2.5 and 5. There's only like 2.5 points. So I think that to be more accurate, you'd have to use a potential of 10.

breakerfall is fucking awesome, what are you talking about? also, evacuation is not given enough credit - it's a good song. and while I'm not a huge fan of god's dice, it's still good.
