I did this in part because I'm a psychopath but also because I wanted to see if there was a limit on @Jason Tate 's new rank machine. If anyone wants to endure 600 clicks, join me in my madness.

It's Murder-Suicide (Nu metal jam) I did it... some of the B-sides and early tracks were a bit funky to rank since I don't listen to them often.
Cul-de-Sac is really high up there for me. So is Teenage Parents, which is why I'm VERY excited to see them play them both in a few weeks. I think I've only heard Cul-de-Sac on the B&D tour in early 2020
Yeah cul-de-sac is 100% my number one. My favorite changes on a day to day but that one has consistently been in heavy rotation since it came out.
Wow! Yeah didn’t know cul-de-sac was so revered. That’s cool to have such a general consensus on one song
In terms of Cul-de-Sac, I think everybody can relate to the melancholy of losing a childhood friend they thought would have forever, whether that just be drifting apart with age or realizing you're entirely different people. Then doubled with the implication of an opioid addiction, it's devastating. The bridge makes me want to throw hands and cry at the same time. The callback to You're Not Salinger in the chorus just brings it home.

There's some songs here that definitely would've been higher 5 years ago but I've just seen this band so many times that a lot of the bigger singles have lost their luster with me.
I was browsing through the album thinking about if I want to go to the tour and it was literally the cul-de-sac bridge that made me open the tab and buy the ticket
Cul-De-Sac and Teenage Parents are both top TWY songs for me, I really hope they bring this tour to Australia because I would love to see them both live
