Is Shudder Before The Beautiful really the best song on the record? Cuz if that's the case I don't think I'm missing out by never checking out this album. I listened to it once and it just sounded like an okay mix of Dark Chest Of Wonders and Storytime.

Do yourself a favor and listen to The Greatest Show on Earth. It's not as much a song as it is an experience, and may be the band's crowning achievement.


And your description of Shudder is perfect, as I thought of those two songs when I first heard it as well.

No, Alpenglow and The Greatest Show on Earth are the two best songs.

No, Weak Fantasy and Alpenglow are the best songs. And though I was part of the group that voted it out, I would second DOC's recommendation of The Greatest Show On Earth. The title track and Edema Ruh are also worth a look.

Obviously I voted for Shudder Before the Beautiful; Weak Fantasy definitely deserves this with Alpenglow gone.

Edit: My full album rankings:

1. Alpenglow
2. Weak Fantasy
3. Shudder Before the Beautiful
4. Edema Ruh
5. Endless Forms Most Beautiful
6. The Greatest Show On Earth
7. Élan
8. The Eyes of Sharbat Gula
9. My Walden
10. Our Decades in the Sun
11. Yours Is An Empty Hope

Probably the most successful album survivor so far in resembling my own ranking of the album. But SBTB really shouldn't win.

I'd still check it out. Most of my favorites hardly make it to the top 3 in most survivors.

Weak Fantasy

Shudder Before the Beautiful.

But honestly, I could've flipped a coin.

No, and I'm surprised it's losing to Weak Fantasy right now.
