Spiders might be a candidate, apart from that I agree with you.

i guess you're right on the "by far." It's still one of my favorite songs. I wouldn't say that their self-titled is their weakest effort though. it may be considered by most but 9 out of 10 people will say that nevermind was nirvana's best album and i think in utero is their best and they are my all time favorite band. there aren't too many system songs that i would skip over on any one of SOAD's albums but sugar, suite-pee, forest, bounce, science are some of their better ones.

This is going to sound a lot snobbier than it's intended, but where do you hang out that the S/T is considered their weakest? I just don't think I'd want to hang out there, haha.

The S/T is their best, followed by Toxicity.

Mezmerize/Hypnotize could have been really great because you could see the growth in the instrument work. Only issues are, Daron writes **** lyrics, can't sing that well (but sounds alright sometimes, especially when he harmonizes with Serj) and Serj's voice wasn't up to par. Serj should have also wrote most of the lyrics like the old days. It's no coincidence that Question! is the best song, lyrically, on Mezmerize and better than anything else on Hypnotize. I can't defend Vicinity of Obscenity, though, even though I like the title. Those albums just don't have it. They're average but SOAD is capable of more.

While I'm on the subject, Daron needs Serj more than Serj needs Daron. Elect the Dead was better than Scars on Broadway. But they still need each other.
