Agreed. While I am a fan of drone and ambient, Static manages to find a way to become tedious just at a couple moments. Still a very well done track, but not on the same level as the other tracks. I think Antennas to Heaven did what Static was trying to do better.

And that wonderful preacher's speech.. I'm not religious at all but I absolutely love hearing his voice on top of all that beautiful strings.. And the climax afterwards.. Such a piece!

I love the whole thing but voted for "Storm"...for some reason the AM-PM Mini-market announcement always makes me feel good...

It's Storm. And I agree, that's a stellar ending. |
Good thing I didn't vote yet, then! Storm!

Love this band, love this album. This is seriously one of the greatest things to have graced popular music in like the past 50 years. An immense piece of work. I'll go with Storm, just for the build up alone. Static's the only one I've found slightly tedious, but that's probably cause I've played this album to death now.

Static. Is a done deal. :)
Makes me think of Fates Warning's classic track STATIC ACTS. Brilliant. :)

Idk.
Any of the three single word songs can take it.
I'll give a vote to sleep since it's losing.
