Plague, certainly, however much Killer feels like a personal anthem. The shift between major & minor keys is quite extraordinary, especially at the end. I do want say that I think Scorched Earth is quite remarkable and its nice to see it getting some love. I listen to that and, in fact, all of Godbluff much more than I expected when the LP first came out. The first time I saw them was the World Record tour, 18 October, 1976 at The Beacon Theater in NYC, but I never developed the fondness for that album that I did for Godbluff. During Meurglys III, Peter stalked the stage like a maniac, playing the eponymous Guild Bluebird. My stupid Plymouth wouldn't start, so in a panic I dragooned my friend George (who knew nothing about the band) to drive me into Manhattan by buying him a ticket. (I was fairly certain that it hadn't sold out.) George was suitably impressed.

So many to choose from, real difficult and ultimately unjust
But... UNDERCOVER MAN is that gem at the very beginning of a monster masterpiece - not being here makes me choose Scorched Earth instead Edited by Quinino - February 18 2017 at 16:55 |

Surprisingly, "Scorched Earth" wins hands-down for me.
Where's "Arrow" and "A Louse is Not a Home"?

1. Man-Erg 2. After The Flood 3. Undercover Man 4. Emperor In His War-Room 5. Killer

Every song on Still life is tied for my favorite VDGG song but ill stick with Childlike faith for this one. After that would be Plague, then Undercover Man, then Man Erg.

Chose "La Rossa," could have been "Scorched Earth," but my real favorite is "Still Life."

Man-Erg. That song has so much emotion. I love how it starts so pretty and symphonic and then immediately changes and becomes terrifying. It will always be my number 1 VDGG track
