Sleight of Hand is the single best song PJ has ever written. Nothing As It Seems is wonderful. I love Breakerfall, Of The Girl, and Rival.

Light Years has never been a favorite of mine. I find it pretty boring, but it isn't terrible, and I occasionally almost think I could like it. (I really wish Sad was in its place.) Soon Forget is a stupid song and should never have been on any album, but I can't complain too much about one pure piece of shit making the track list. (Education should've been in this spot.)

There's a lot of apologies there for your number 2 seed

One song that I seriously don't like (Soon Forget) and one I find pretty boring (Light Years) is a lot of apologies?

well, thin air, too.

I don't hate that song, I don't even dislike it, it just seems invisible most of the time. Whenever I actually give it a listen I have no objections to it, I just don't particularly listen to it much at all. I'd give it 3/5 stars.

You could make a good case to order the top 4 in any order. The "quite a bit" part is what I disagreed with.

Yeah, but the problem with No Code is I'm Open. Yield and Binaural don't have anything like that going on.

Man, Thin Air is a good song. I like it better than I was giving it credit for. I'd still give it 3/5 or maybe 3.5/5, but I do like it better than I was initially selling.

Not even close to the same thing.
