Do you have your own version of MAYHEM?

With the MAYHEM era coming to a close and probably all songs having been released, do you have your own version of MAYHEM? Explain what you removed, what you added, and what you switched!

  1. I started with the Deluxe. I don't like The Dead Dance. I don't consider it a part of MAYHEM either, though sonically it fits, it's bit too much of the same thing after the vastly superior Zombieboy. So TDD was out.

  2. I think Happy Mistake is truly a masterpiece and fits so neatly into MAYHEM, with metaphors like "my head is filled with broken mirrors" reflecting the album cover. I had initially added Happy Mistake between The Beast and Blade of Grass, removing Die With A Smile. That worked fine until...

  3. ...The new version of Die With A Smile. It's just an excellent closer. So so so powerful.

  4. And to be honest, I am not a fan of Blade of Grass, so now that there's another credible closer, for me, it didn't make the final cut.
