Singularity track ranking

13. Sweet Relief (Track #2)
Score: 32 (Average Rank: 10.25/13)
Biggest Fan(s): Johnbobb (#2)
Biggest Detractor(s): rwlh, FoolFantastic, BlueCrystalTear, Seanchan, MetalmindStats (#13)

12. Alive Day (Track #13)
Score: 44 (Average Rank: 8.5/13)
Biggest Fan(s): BlueCrystalTear (#5)
Biggest Detractor(s): Raetsel_Lapin, Seanchan (#11)

BlueCrystalTear: Its a natural closer and it feels like a sweeping epic with the instrumentation and Mikes best vocal on the album. The powerful message of self-rebirth is hugely helpful.

11. Trashy Hot (Track #9)
Score: 45 (Average Rank: 8.63/13)
Biggest Fan(s): HBJDubs (#2)
Biggest Detractor(s): Johnbobb (#13)

10. Hypnogogic (Track #10)
Score: 51 (Average Rank: 8.13/13)
Biggest Fan(s): MetalmindStats (#1)
Biggest Detractor(s): HBJDubs (#12)

9. Path of Most Resistance (Track #4)
Score: 53 (Average Rank: 7.63/13)
Biggest Fan(s): FoolFantastic (#2)
Biggest Detractor(s): rwlh (#12)

7 (tie). 2012 (Track #1)
Score: 55 (Average Rank: 7.63/13)
Biggest Fan(s): rwlh (#1)
Biggest Detractor(s): Raetsel_Lapin, FoolFantastic, BlueCrystalTear (#12)

BlueCrystalTear: That killer guitar intro is about it. Also, here in Madison, the Mayan Apocalypse kinda came true because we had a snowstorm called The End of the World - ~21 inches in 36 hours. It may have been this songs fault.

7 (tie). Square Root of All Evil (Track #5)
Score: 55 (Average Rank: 7.63/13)
Biggest Fan(s): Seanchan (#1)
Biggest Detractor(s): HBJDubs (#13)

BlueCrystalTear: Also hilarious, and one of the earliest examples of Wendy Lynns violin work (which has since become much more prominent). They don't have many acoustic songs. What DO rich people actually do with their money? (HINT: Its probably just sitting there in the Bank of Geneva)

6. No Place Like Home (Track #12)
Score: 60 (Average Rank: 7/13)
Biggest Fan(s): BlueCrystalTear (#1)
Biggest Detractor(s): Raetsel_Lapin (#13)

BlueCrystalTear: Despite the serious subject matter, there are many funny little lyrics in here, like Christmas gift with batteries not included and dont call me Dorothy. Add in the killer bass opener and youve got the albums most enduring song. I also kinda relate to it >_>

5. More Than My Degree (Track #3)
Score: 60 (Average Rank: 6.75/13)
Biggest Fan(s): BlueCrystalTear, MetalmindStats (#3)
Biggest Detractor(s): Raetsel_Lapin, FoolFantastic (#10)

BlueCrystalTear: This one always cheers me up. I picture a shirtless moron singing on his desk trying to seduce his TA every single time. Its great to laugh at that image, especially since hes clearly the only student in the class whos not taking it seriously.

4. Dig Your Grave (Track #8)
Score: 74 (Average Rank: 5.38/13)
Biggest Fan(s): Raetsel_Lapin, MetalmindStats (#2)
Biggest Detractor(s): Seanchan (#12)

3. Grand Guignol (Track #11)
Score: 76 (Average Rank: 5.38/13)
Biggest Fan(s): Raetsel_Lapin (#1)
Biggest Detractor(s): MetalmindStats (#10)

BlueCrystalTear: No, its not just because of the video. Amazing drums and a lot of kick-ass. I would definitely say that the people in Paris who went to the eccentric theatre of the same name in the first half of the 20th century would not have been ready for this, either.

2. Uncanny Valley (Track #6)
Score: 89 (Average Rank: 4.25/13)
Biggest Fan(s): FoolFantastic, Johnbobb (#1)
Biggest Detractor(s): rwlh, BlueCrystalTear, MetalmindStats (#7)

BlueCrystalTear: I can kinda relate to the thought of wanting to become a cyborg to distance myself from humanity, but this song shows actually doing it is risky and unsatisfying. People still arent ready for cyborgs. Including the ones that would become them. Music-wise... the riffs are amazing, and this wouldve fit great on The Slingshot Effect.

1. Tunguska (Track #7)
Score: 90 (Average Rank: 3.88/13)
Biggest Fan(s): HBJDubs (#1)
Biggest Detractor(s): MetalmindStats (#8)

BlueCrystalTear: Lots of fun. And I really want to see this one live. I know disasters in my life arent really the end of the world, even if the Mayans wanted us to think so.
