BTW I don’t think there is a bad song on OK Computer. Electioneering is just a bog standard kinda ok rocker on a special album. The whole straightforward political analogy didn’t connect at all with me in comparison to the pre millennial fear/tension across the rest. It kinda sticks out a bit like a sore thumb.

Electioneering is very necessary to the album imo, it injects a blast of energy into an otherwise very somber & gloom and doom album. I think it's also pretty important thematically to have a song like it on the album that highlights how easy it is to trick gullible/desperate people into thinking you have their best interests in mind just through flowery language without actually having to act on those promises and just benefitting yourself. That has aged just as well as the rest of the album's messages about modern anxieties, consumerism, etc.

I think we’re just two fans on different journeys here! It feels thematically and musically at odds with the rest of the album for me. I am absolutely splitting hairs though because it is by no means a bad song, on its own it’s actually quite good, it’s just not on the genius scale of the rest of the album, for me.

  1. Untitled
  2. Pictures of You
  3. Fascination Street
  4. Disintegration
  5. Plainsong
  6. Prayers for Rain
  7. The Same Deep Water as You
  8. Last Dance
  9. Lovesong
  10. Closedown
  11. Lullaby
  12. Homesick

Yeah Untitled is a GREAT song, i just love every other song above it a little more. The only meh song is Lovesong, but I do still enjoy it.

Lots of disrespect for Plainsong and Lullaby in this thread :D

FWIW I think Plainsong is top ten all time album openers.

As an album opener, it gives me chills every time when the cymbals crash after the chimes, and yes, one of the best openers of all time. It sets the mood for the next 72 minutes perfectly. It’s a fucking great song.

I agree with this assessment. It has always stuck out, just doesn’t fit the mood of the rest of the record. It’s like it was meant for a different album, even though it is a great song.
 
Master of Puppets:
1. Battery
2. Master of Puppets
3. Damage Inc - this song is criminally underrated. That riff at 3:15 is one of my favorites in their catalogue
4. Disposable Heroes
5. Welcome Home
6. Orion
7. Leper Messiah - everything at this spot and above is S-Tier.
8. The Thing That Should Not Be - this song was probably the only easy one to rank. I think it’s good, but a bit weaker than the rest

Ride the Lightning:
1. Creeping Death
2. Fight Fire With Fire
3. Fade to Black
4. Trapped Under Ice
5. For Whom the Bell Tolls
6. Call of Ktulu
7. Ride the Lightning
8. Escape - easily the worst on this album. Skip from me

The drums on “Untitled” are just so great. Actually the drums on the entire album. Boris Williams is amazing.
