I forgot that this thread doesn't mean "songs that can't hold up to their intros". I don't know what's considered the best Unthought Known part.

I love Pilate, but think that the intro in particular falls flat live. Grievance is another example where pulling it off live is a real challenge because the studio version is so strong.

Every single PJ song have a, to say the least, really good part.

I think he means songs that mostly suck except for one part.

sloppy and amateurish but still better than 90% of songs on the two latest PJ albums

For me it is Severed Hand - the intro kicks massive arse and it builds to a climax and then….a really shitty riff. So disappointing

The bridges for Supersonic and Let the Records Play are the first that come to mind...
Also, I always really liked the solo/bridge of Amongst the Waves better than the rest of the song
Plus, the outro to Getaway is far and away the best part of that song
I'm just curious, for those that said Infallible... which part of that song is clearly heads above the rest?
I'm in the "Infallible is an all-around solid song" camp so it seems like you either like it or you don't it, not so much "there's one really cool part to that song"

I could do without the bridge of Immortality. Don't know what they were thinking on that one. Thank god they never attempted something like that again.

Spin The Black Circle is disliked by half the fanbase. Strange but I guess I can see it.
Getaway and Let The Records Play are pretty good. Inside Job is probably underrated(the broken soul part is good).

Upon further review, it does not look right to me. SOH is a rare gem and you should feel bad for not liking it.
Also, and I know I'm in the minority, but I think Big Wave is one of the better songs on S/T.
