Let Me Drown should win this whole thing.

But that song is a monster.

More monstrous than The Day I Tried to Live?

I'll be surprised if The Day I Tried To Live wins.

Yes. More monstrous than most other songs in existence.

Also, sidenote, it's got one of the best examples of room mic'ing I can think of: For the entire song, the depth of field is full of guitars, drums, bass, reverb -- it's super lush. And then during that last part of the bridge, when it's the sludgy/tribal part, and Chris sings So heal my wounds without a trace / And seal my tomb without my face / I'm going to the lonely place, most of the instrumentations falls away, and instead the depth of field gets filled with the cavernous sound of the room mics around the drums (by pulling those faders up). They sound huge! And then it's back to the guitar bombast.

Fucking stellar, this one.

I love Let Me Drown, but it's not one of my favorites from Superunkown.
