What IS The Lowest Point Of The Holy Bible?
Inspired by this comment :
Quote:
I'd go for Mausoleum or Of Walking Abortion. And now come the people going "But 'Of Walking Abortion' is fantastic!" Sunrise, sunset... EDIT: No poll sadly, THB has got more than 10 tracks. Pity, that could have settled it there and then. |

What do you mean by low point? worst song? Isn't that something that's been done to death? Or do you mean richey's lowest point?

Isn't this a bit like asking "what's the low point about getting loads of free ice cream that magically has no calories, but still tastes exactly as good as normal ice cream?" Or something like that.
Anyway, I'd go for This Is Yesterday. It's the one song from the album I've never made any attempt to learn on guitar, although that might be more to do with the lack of agreement amongst tabbers as to whether it's drop D tuning or not, etc. But it's still an awesome song - I just find myself skipping it occasionally because after Faster I want to get straight into DITS.

If you made a poll, you could just omit Faster, Yes, and Archives of Pain or Die in the Summertime as it seems everyone loves those.
PCP is my least favourite track of of it. It's fun at times, at times it's just too caustic musically. The chorus of Of Walking Abortion brings it close for me. But as has been sad, it's not really possible to name a bad track on THB, there are just songs that aren't as mind-shatteringly amazing as others. |

YES seems to me like to much... that would be my choice(unless if it were an instrumental).

I'm going controversial and saying Faster. My heart still says it's a great song but for one reason or another it's the only one that's diminished over time for me. It's one of the few songs (out of everything I've heard, not just in THB) for me that have genuinely become less exciting through hearing it so much, and the maniac aggression that it used to charm with feels really tame now. I understand why it's an iconic song for them but it just doesn't do as much for me as everything else on the album does.

Reluctantly, Mausoleum. But only because everything else is fucking brilliant and that's only brilliant.

Agree on the Too cold here part. Love that song. A song I don't love however, is The intense humming of evil. I can't listen to it. Wouldn't call it the "low point" of THB, but it's the one song I always skip.

Too Cold Here wouldn't work at all within the context of the rest of the album.

I half agree with you. I never really liked the song until one day I was playing along with the album and the main riff is as cool as fuck to bash out. So simple and yet so badass

She Is Suffering, by a country mile.

I'll probably never be able to play it, got two left hands. Singing it is hard enough. It's brilliant but I couldn't pick any other song. Ah fuck I've just put it on again and I'm having doubts now... Might go for She Is Suffering. Urgh, I dunno. Might be easier to say what it definitely absolutely isn't...
