Severed Hand is fine. I like it. Good bridge and I love the funky riff after the first verse. I like the lyrics. The studio track always felt a little thin to me, but it's pretty good.
Dance of Clarivoyants remains a revelation even a year out. I listen to it constantly (at least two times a week) and I've never gotten tired of it. The moment when the 'stand back when the spirit comes' section feels surprising any time. I love this song.

Dance takes this one quite easily. It's not that Severed Hand isn't a good song, it's that Dance is a true all timer.

I might change my vote though. SH is fantastic and has time on it's side.

This is making me think ahead to which Gigaton songs I might find myself voting for when we're down to 32, 16, etc. The real 5-star nitty gritty.
I think Dance and Seven O'Clock are the ones I can see winning out over "formative years" nostalgia and voting for over something I've adored for 2+ decades.

Severed Hand is great. I wish it weren’t with DotC which is for me among the best Pearl Jam songs, and the winner of Gigaton (with Quick Escape).

Came in to post this verbatim. Severed Hand is probably in the top half of the catalogue for me, but Dance is special.

Severed Hand has improved for me over the years, but it's still a good, as opposed to great, song. I probably like Dance even more now than I did back when it came out (and I liked it quite a bit then). It made it a bit tough to get into Gigaton at first, because as much as I liked the album, this song was clearly the biggest achievement coming out of it.
