None of the songs on Backspacer or LB are better than Evacuation.

Songs from Backspacer that are better than Evacuation:
Anything other than The Fixer or Force of Nature

Songs from Lightning Bolt that are better than Evacuation:
Anything other than Let the Records play. And that's only because the chorus to Let The Records play sucks so much.

I'm not a huge fan of Evacuation, but lets not get carried away here.

I know, I know. It's not cool to actually like some of the new stuff. I'll try and keep it in check.

I prefer every song from Backspacer and L-bolt to evacuation except for Supersonic. The bridge is decent, but overrated. The main riff is okay--maybe a little too abrasive--which I know is the point, but it edges just a little too close to unpleasant territory. I don't like the nasal strain in Eddie's voice, and the chorus is annoying.

It's not that it's a terrible song. It's just one that is hard to justify listening to. I actually prefer it as background, since a lot of the things I don't care for are softened, and it's easier to appreciate the underlying song.

I think we can all agree it's better than God's Dice, thogh

I don't know about that. It's definitely closer than you're making it out to be.
