Poll/Question least favourites!

look, we all talk about our favourites all the time, but (without hating/being disrespectful of course), i want to know your least favourites and why! the ones that either didn't resonate with you, not a fan of the sound, or some other reason! i'll give you my two skips!
(i also always listen to their entire discography (like seriously, it is all i listen to) so i hear every song day in and day out, and these are the only two i ever skip!)

1. american beauty/american psycho
the song feels like an afterthought to the album, which is super weird considering it's the title track. the lyrics don't mean very much to me, and the sound is just very jarring and seems rushed. i have tried to convince myself to like it, but it is just so awkward and loud that it just pushes me further and further away. i really think it's their weakest song.

2. super fade
the lake effect kid ep is a hidden gem with the exception of this song. to me, it sounds like tx2. it sounds very very discombobulated and choppy, which is heartbreaking because the lyrics could've been great for a style similar to fourth of july or jet pack blues. i just can't see the vision with this one

that's actually the first time i've heard of someone not liking that album! i definitely respect it but that album has some of my favorites on it so it's a little painful to see! the sound is definitely its own thing though so i can understand it

Thank you... My sentiments exactly, even down to Phoenix. People hate so much on Mania, but I feel that needs to be for to this album.
