This Body is one of the best songs I've ever heard. I can't stop listening to it.

I need Rich in here.

@Rich Jones
I'M HERE BABY.

What wat.

Anyway yeah Act III is the best them. Complaining that no song stands out is silly; it's because they're all so damn perfect. The other Acts are still amazing, don't get me wrong, but they do have one or two weaker songs which is why the other ones "stand out" more.

III > TCS > II > I

Ariich is a freak, or somehow has more hours in the day than everyone else.

Thing is, all of the song are great, but it has no "Red Hands" or "The Lake and the River".
It's just a very damn fine and solid album, though I prefer Act II and TCS.

Two months later, TCS is still the best them.

Indeed, because putting the same songs two albums in a row would be dumb. But it does have lots of other songs that are just as good. :hat

I meant quality-wise OBVIOUSLY.
And no sorry, none of the songs on Act III are as good as the best on Act II and TCS, but as I said, I still think Act III is a very solid album, and it isn't bad in any ways.

No but it does have "He Said He had a Story" which is better than both of those songs.

Seeing that song live boosted my appreciation for how awesome it is tenfold.  (and I already loved it)  Definitely one of the highlights of the night, the crowd was really into it and everyone would shout "THEN WHAT DID YOU DO NEXT" and whatnot.

Take More Than You Need is definitely my least favorite as far as Black is concerned.  I really like This Body, I can hear a fair bit of Casey's previous band (The Receiving End of Sirens) in it.

Me neither. And the "oh my god" part is pretty weak too IMO.

"Never Forgive, Never Forget" is easily my least favorite song on Black, with that said I still love it though.
I just love the other 3 more.

Lilian is probably my favourite track on the whole spectrum.
"Once he had forests and mountains that were only his - listening to him. Once he would run through the summer days catching memories for ages to come. Now he is dressing this naked floor with his flesh and blood, and time passes by. His trade of pain might just have lead him to deal with consequence for some change as time passes by"

Indigo is the best them because it includes electronic elements and clapping arrangements. And quality music.

Black is where it's at, especially because of This Body, which is easily my favorite song on The Color Spectrum. That being said, Red and Orange are also fucking rad.

This Body is one of the best songs I've ever heard. I can't stop listening to it.
Really? That's my least favorite on Black and one of my least favorite on the whole album.

Maybe calling it one of the best songs I've ever heard was an overstatement, but it's a damn good song.
