"Hurt my neck head banging" - First listen note

I mean... that's why it's high. The ultimate nomination in chair dancing. I like to listen to the individual songs as I type, and it's impossible to have any thoughts with this. Mmm-mm, all I know is how I feel, such truthhhhhhhh. And here the song is fading out and I'm ready to make some self-rebuttal about "Dark Come Soon" and "traitor" being more powerful and maybe going back above this, but then the horns at 4:30 start ramping up theiR COMEBACK AND I DON'T CARE THIS IS AWESOME, LET'S PLAY IT AGAIN

P.S. I always forget how much the album cover looks like the first sight of Jack from Lost opening his eyes and seeing Vincent approaching. WHICH IS CRAZY because the album came out in 2002, two years before Lost debuted. Were JJ Abrams and Damon Lindelof inspired by the cover? Also, I didn't mention Brooklyn 99? The horns blasting makes me think of Brooklyn 99. Not entirely sure if it's their theme song or promos for it?

Unforgivable sin of making me copy+paste artists and titles, lol. You've given tough songs to rank. They all have something to them that floats just outside of easy comparison and locked in ranking. There's an element of loftiness. Even "Anywhere Is," which is annoying to listen to, has craft and enjoyment in its lyricism that would carry it much higher if not for, well, being a song they use to torture people. "Hors D'uvre" and "Remind Me" are such chill vibes that breeze along right into the next song that I have to go back and listen again because they just relax away the analysis. "Cha Cha Cha" was a cool comparison to the cover and made both better for it. And "Ghostwriter" just slaps. Many thanks, Zazi. The next time I ride ze shoopuf, I'll recommend the Hypello to play your nominations.
