Stand is my least favorite, apparently breaking with the group.
Still feel the same way about Stand? I agreed with you completely until earlier this week. At first it seemed one-dimensional and borrowing it's sound a bit too much from Ziltoid and I had it near the bottom, but now it's probably my third favorite track. I didn't include it in the poll when I voted just now, though. Only two I listed were:
Praise the Lowered
Poltergeist
First and last tracks, Dev always comes through big on those, it seems.
I went back through the lyric thread now that I know the songs moderately well, trying to figure out some of the harsh vocal parts I hadn't picked out. That definitely made "Stand" stronger for me. At first I was almost fast forwarding, but now I enjoy it, especially as part of the whole record. Among very strong tracks, though, it's still toward the bottom of the list.
1. Juular - One of the best songs Dev's ever written. I can sing along to it, bang my head to it, but there's also so much going on. If I had one song to show someone what Dev is all about it would be either "Earth Day" or "Juular"
2. TMM - Despite being enormously long, I never get bored of during this track. The jokes are funny, the scenes work. Just brilliant.
3. Deconstruction - The fart / diarrhea noises are a little annoying but they are part of just extreme insanity, the artist pushing it absolutely as far as he can.
4. Planet of the Apes - the intro riff is a little too recycled from old stuff for me, but once the other parts start folding in on top of it, it's a monster tune.
5. Sumeria - the next three are all very solid, great album songs, but don't really distinguish themselves other than being part of the flow of the great album Decon is.
6. Pandemic
7. Poltergeist
8. Stand - see above
