Mausoleum. It's the only track you could take off without detracting from the record as a whole. It's also the only truly bloated point on the album.
It was the first song on the record I liked, oddly, when I first heard it. But I was a kid and had never heard music like Faster or TIHOE before.

Mausoleum would be an amazing song if it had a completely different chorus. The verses are wonderfully tense and foreboding, the pre-chorus is one of the greatest parts of the whole album and... and then the flat, uninspired chorus begins abruptly and steadily chugs the song into a still, crushing all the momentum it was building up to.
It was one of my instant favourites when I first heard the album as well because of the pre-chorus, just a shame the song as a whole doesn't do it justice.

There are two songs I tend to skip, 'IfWhiteAmerica...' and 'This is Yesterday'. I think the latter doesn't fit too well into the album so this would be my choice for the 'lowest point on THB'.

Mausoleum for me. Although it seems like knit-picking really, its a pretty perfect album.

PCP isn't a low point. That much I know.

I have tried but I just don't like PCP. It jars with the rest of the album for me and sounds like b-side filler. I love TIHOE and Mausoleum. I love the grinding metal sounds, the riff, the lyrics, the structure and the solo. All of it. Mausoleum has a great riff and to me its more chaotic than bloated and the pre-chorus encapsulates that breathless trying to get more words than you should into a single line feeling of Richey era lyrics.

That rogue apostrophe on the front sleeve.
