Every song on Yield is better than Evacuation.

The majority of songs from Vitalogy, Vs., Ten, Binaural, and Riot Act are better than Evacuation.

Some of the songs on Avocado are better than Evacuation.

None of the songs on Backspacer or LB are better than Evacuation.
Songs from Backspacer that are better than Evacuation:
Anything other than The Fixer or Force of Nature

Songs from Lightning Bolt that are better than Evacuation:
Anything other than Let the Records play. And that's only because the chorus to Let The Records play sucks so much.
I'm not a huge fan of Evacuation, but lets not get carried away here.
I know, I know. It's not cool to actually like some of the new stuff. I'll try and keep it in check.

I prefer every song from Backspacer and L-bolt to evacuation except for Supersonic. The bridge is decent, but overrated. The main riff is okay--maybe a little too abrasive--which I know is the point, but it edges just a little too close to unpleasant territory. I don't like the nasal strain in Eddie's voice, and the chorus is annoying.

It's not that it's a terrible song. It's just one that is hard to justify listening to. I actually prefer it as background, since a lot of the things I don't care for are softened, and it's easier to appreciate the underlying song.

I think we can all agree it's better than God's Dice, thogh

I don't know about that. It's definitely closer than you're making it out to be.
