As I've been rating the songs.. I've been listing them in a Massive List document, all in order according to the score. It makes the songs even easier to rate. Cherub Rock is a ten, and so far it's sitting:
9.Cherub Rock, 8.Mayonaise, 7.Starz

OKAY THE VOTES ARE IN!!!!

STARZ scores 58.55%

Ooooohh the shame... :jamescry

Rate the given song from 1-10. 1 being the lowest, 10 being the highest
The higher the number, the more you enjoy the song.
You can use any kind of decimal addition you like.
Anything below a 1 will be counted as a 1.
Anything above 10 will be counted as a 10.
If i can't tell what you're trying to rate the song your vote will not be counted.
If you for some reason decide to change your vote, don't modify your first vote, make a new post saying what your old and new scores are.
I'll compile the results for each song once the replies slow down or stop coming in, after that the score is set.
Feel free to discuss.

It's very good. Great drumming. The whole "Revolution! Revolution!" stuff is kinda dumb though.

No it's not! :sillyhat

This song is the centre of Zeitgeist. The end of the world. Chaos. It's also one of the most experimental SP songs imo. They've only done the odd epic song here and there, mostly keeping it to 4 - 5 minute songs. I think this exceeds any epic from the original SP. Of all the other bands I like including Tool, Pink Floyd and others - this song seems to channel the only damn thing missing from pumpkins songs.

I prefer most of the other SP epics - Porcelina is probably my favourite. I do also really like US though, hence the high score :)

For a long time, this was my fave Zeit track. But the more i listen to it, the more i get bored of it. Its undeniably (spelling?) brilliant, but its just a bit too repetitive. Im with Epitome. All about Porcelina. Although i still love it. lots. I would say a 9

You're obliged to pretend respect for people and institutions you think absurd. You live attached in a cowardly fashion to moral and social conventions you despise, condemn, and know lack all foundation. It is that permanent contradiction between your ideas and desires and all the dead formalities...

It's never been my favourite from Zeitgeist but I do really like the song! The middle section kind of gets a bit boring for me but the outro more the makes up for that!

Jimmy performed the best drumming of his whole career on that and Billy overlayed it with a decent but unnecessary Silverfuck rip-off.
I'd give ten points to the Jimmy section and six points to the Billy one which makes

8 points

in my book.

The drumming carries this song to a 6.6 for me. Otherwise, I think it was extremely poorly executed in studio. It was way better live.

I think I would have liked this song better if it wasn't for the "United States Revolution" theme—seriously, fighting and revolution? About what? Is it 1776? I mean, you can't get more politically placid than the U.S.! I really don't get what the supposed political anger or message in Zeitgeist is all about. Maybe I'm a wanker for not getting it, but my reaction is, "Oh yeah, uh, United States. go, go, go...(wtf is this supposed to be about?)"

Edit: forgot to rate it :roll
