Default Best SP4/5 Chugger: Updated poll

I forgot Solara, sorry.

Ugly is the best chugger of all time, but which is the best modern chugger?

I will own up to it...I actually like "Anti-Hero". I thought it was the best song on Monuments. I was surprised it got so much hatred from just about everywhere.

I almost voted for Marchin' On for that purpose. Other than Rubin's production, it's the closest Billy has come to a song that sounds like it could have come from old SP.

Gonna have to agree with 'noid on this one, folks.

Why did you include Marchin' On on this fuckin harrible list but decide to leave out Seek and You Shall Destroy?

almost all of 'em are "chuggers" in the sense that I want to chug literally anything to make me forget what I just experienced

Marchin' On doesn't have any chug. This poll series is a shambles.

I don't find Anti-Hero super chuggy throughout. It reminds me of garage rock, especially the guy+girl theme. It's my least favorite MTAE track, though. Sorry madcap

I think Empahs has brought me the most joy, even if it's for the wrong reasons. OOOOOH EMMMMPAAAAAHSSSS

Beguiled for me. Riff is a banger and it’s a catchy song. I didn’t like She Stabs the Empty Cock and I found Empahs to be an incredibly trite Muse knock off. Harmageddon is just not enjoyable in any way either.

Ugly is not the best chugger of all time, it’s clearly an ode to no one.

Are we defining chugger as “song with palm muted guitar” or…? For SP2 I’ve always thought the Doomsday Clock riff totally slammed though it doesn’t really have any muting.

Fucking thank you. I love that song. I was so confused about the dislike for it.

That’s like a stoner rock doom riff

Wait, how is Ugly a chugger?! Not in any sense! Palm-muting is not the only qualifier here, right? Doomsday Clock is way more of what I'd consider a chugger than Ugly.

I think its placement as album closer is its detriment

Here’s what I think of as a chugger- palm muted, mostly drone note, with a steady 8th note rhythm, 16th note rhythm, or consistent pattern of 8th and 16th notes that repeat. Not always a definable riff.. it just chugs along. Like a train. Chugga chugga chugga chugga

Bury Me has a nice chugging / palm muted section. Should it be on the list too?

edit: oh yeah, it's SP1. It'd be the winner anyyway.
