RM has voted. Supersonic you are the weakest link. Pendulum wins. Lightning Bolt now destroys Backspacer in every way.

A lot of that middle section is very interchangeable for me.
I quite like the top few (despite the cheese of Unthought Known or Sirens), can tolerate the middle few (but would rarely seek them out), and actively dislike/skip the bottom few.
There really is nothing there that stands up well against their early-mid period output though. Quite depressing really.
The best thing about listening to Backspacer and Lightning Bolt is how great these songs sound in comparison to the down-tuned mess most of them have become when played live.

On the plus side, here are some songs not off these two albums I’ve caught for the first (and sometimes second and third) time at those shows: Brother, Smile, In My Tree, Satan’s Bed, Alone, Let Me Sleep, Bugs, Hold On, All or None, No Way, Sonic Reducer, Breath, Black, Red, and Yellow, Bugs, Help, help, Oceans, Real Me, Of the Earth, Bee Girl, Chloe/crown, Red Mosquito, In the Moonlght, Dead Man, Don’t Gimme No Lip...I guess that’s a better list than my unseen bs/lb list.
