I'm still trying to find a song that isn't at the very least, interesting. There isn't a filler track to be found.
If I have one complaint, and it's a "complaint" that I'm not 100 percent sure is an actual complaint, it's that I am fairly certain that this album is not the one that will help these guys break into the big time. There isn't a true "single" on the album that you can point to and say, "listen to this and I promise you will be hooked". I suppose "Terrible Love" is the closest thing to a poppy song, but it's still a bit moody and dark. The uninitiated aren't going to be swayed by it, unless they give it a few listens.
I also have a feeling the critics are going to be tripping over each other to get in line to praise it. It's that good.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
"Conversation 16" is probably the closest to a single in my mind, up until you get to the lines "I was afraid I'd eat your brains, Cause I'm evil." Very catchy tune though otherwise.

Parts of that song remind me of another song, and I can't for the life of me figure out what it is.
He also says "shitty" during the song.
I suppose "Bloodbuzz, Ohio" could be a single. And I could be wrong altogether. I remember the first time I listened to "The Joshua Tree", and I couldn't figure out what song would be a single. U2 somehow managed.

I wish that I believed in Fate. I wish I didn't sleep so late. I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders.
