UM "You Pick 2" Tier List

I didn’t vote on the poll but I prefer the immediate visibility because it’ll lend to better discussion. Nobody is gonna talk about “why’d you vote x on y” or “can’t believe so many people love/hate y” when it’s 7 days old and buried by more recent comments and polls

Fuck DBK there I said it

Please don’t reproduce. If you can’t afford a vasectomy, which I assume you can’t because I doubt you can hold a job with an IQ so low, I will personally chop your balls off for you

If you’re gonna criticize someone’s opinions the least you could do is vote and put yourself out there for criticism too…kinda chickenshit to sit on your high horse and only chime in to diss people…but that is pretty borty too so :woman_shrugging:t2:

Tbh I just caught up on this thread last night but was so appalled by zencers taste that I couldn’t help myself. Please accept my apologies for thread jacking

Also I see now that you have voted on a few, only looked at the most recent 3 when I posted that, so kudos for putting yourself out there

My taste is unmatched, anyone will tell you.

Songs with Bayliss solos: S

All other songs: B

Forks: F- / worthy of sterilization

I’ll say I had DBK as C tier because it’s 1) a bit too long of a composition, 2) takes too long to get to a jam section, 3) only gets jammed maybe half the time and is too frequently sandwich fodder instead, and 4) often has cringy umphreys “bring out your lighters” banter.

In terms of those styles of compositions (long and heavy) I much prefer HBB and WBG

You were right for calling me out for being full of shit though. Because I am, in fact, full of shit

Yeah DBK kind of sucks. Def towards the lower tier of OG songs for me as well

Speaking of outlier votes hey @cshore I’m curious why you aren’t big on Draconian. Imo it’s a unique and fun composition that usually leads to some good jams

I hate the ending lol. I just don’t like lego songs much

Fair enough. I mean we all know roctopus is gonna be a slaughter.

The DBK hate is making me sad :frowning: But I guess if you’re not into UM for the prog, it can really be a 30-minute commitment that is not worth much sometimes. I miss when it was a more consistent vehicle though. Too many classic jams have come out of it to ever rate it below C tier, IMO.

Used to be a great jam vehicle and now it’s basically a set eater. I don’t want to hold my lighter up for Bayliss and isn’t part of the song is Hall of the Mountain King or whatever that composition is? The main riff is badass though

Good UMprog is Eat. I’ll take that at every show
