Sleepytime being so high, Sleep is Wrong not being in the bottom 10, Puppet Show being formulaic, and The Stain/Cockroach being so low. What are your major disagreements? There's so little between most of these that I'd be pretty interested to hear. Blood Music is doing vinyl issues for these albums soon.ДЄh man, get your hands on Of Natural History so nice to see some love for that songДЇound the band so hard to get into, it's worth a go judas. I heard the Donkey Headed Adversary track on Ziltoid Radio a few years back. Love this band, despite disagreeing with a bunch of this but it's nice they have a list. The climax is absolutely fantastic and Carla's vocal performance is a force to be reckoned with.ДҐ is 1, pure genius. The lyrics, atmosphere and progression is quintessentially SGM, but there's something about the focus and menace here that edges it out over their other work.

It's not an easy listen and takes a while to absorb, but this unrelenting dirge is a surprisingly honest offering from a band notoriously prone to gimmickry.ДЄngle of Repose - picking an overall winner was tough, given how little there is to set most of these songs apart, but Angle of Repose ticks all the boxes and more.

The Greenless Wreath - the hidden gem of their discography: this song stretches out the harrowing, repetitive dimensions of their sound out to their full extent and the result is devastatingly sorrowful. Sure, it's less ambitious or bizarre than the majority of their other tracks, but Phthisis is badass beyond belief. Phthisis - the GROOVES and RHYTHMS and MENACE are SO DAMN GOOD here. The Donkey-Headed Adversary of Mankind Opens the Discussion It's still one of their finer moments though, capturing their apocalyptic side very convincingly. SGM have always been somewhat challenged when it comes to crafting successful climaxes, and this song demonstrates that clearly. Ambugaton plays it a little safe, but gets everything more or less right.ДЇC: The Freedom Club - Fans might give me a hard time for ranking this outside the top 10 but I've always found the menacing build of the first half to be far superior to the chaos of the second. It's predictably manic and somewhat overbearing but makes for a pretty enjoyable listen.ДЄmbugaton - fantastic jam, great structure and a stellar lyric. Helpless Corpses Enactment - the inevitable James Joyce track is quite possibly the heaviest caper in this band of heavy caper's career.

Puppet Show - in some ways this is the quintessential SGM song, but it comes across more as a specimen than an epitome and has always struck me as somewhat formulaic.Д«ring Back the Apocalypse - starting off as a pseudo-interlude with a very cool frenzied undercurrent that eventually spirals into a fist-pumping off-kilter mantra, this is a very nice example of a transitional song that stands strong on its own.ДЎ997 (Tonight We're Gonna Party Like It's.) - SGM's parody rock song is hilarious and actually pretty groovy, but it relies a little too much on its irony to have much further impact. That said, its spareness is starting to grow on me, so who knows where it could end up given time. The Stain - whilst it verges on being one of their more tedious tracks, The Stain has a few kickass grooves that just about keep it animated. Not to mention that the band are fantastic and deserve more attention here. And so, here's a shot at an overall ranking to prove it can be done. I've been jamming these guys a lot recently and realised that it's often incredibly hard to differentiate the quality of their songs beyond the three vague tiers of GIMMICKY/VAGUE/IRRITATING, GOOD and FANTASTIC - their albums are dense, relatively consistent and usually bereft of highlight songs.
