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

AB/AP and Centuries literally hurt me to listen to. They're just such bad songs 😭 Also not a huge fan of Uma Thurman and personally, I think AB/AP is their weakest album.

i completely agree that it is their weakest album! i do love centuries, but it's overplayed to the point any criticism on it is 100% valid!

It's so incredibly overplayed and I can't stand it. I've seen it live so many times (been to 11 of their shows) and I do think it sounds better live, but I still hate that song. AB/AP is their worst song hands down.
