Paper kingdom song ranking
Wanted to do a ranking because I have some opinions I have nobody else to share with (no narita airport, apoligies) Here we go.
16: DARK CLOUD
Honestly I think this song is some of mcrs worst work. Only good thing I can find in it is the guitar solos and the kind of witchy ambience. Otherwise, there just isn't much to enjoy. Also it's way too long.
15: FALLING DOWN
The synth ending is incredible, but mostly just a short boring song with some weird parts.
14: PERFECTLY WELL
Album is already starting to get good. Even if its short and slow, it's a pretty charming little song, and works well as a calm outro. Just not much to say about it.
13: STARS ALIGN
A nice little piano ballad that leads really well into bike thief.
12: LOUDER
I do love this song, but all the others are still better, so unfortunately it has to go pretty low. A great slow song with a powerful second part.
11: HIGH HOPES
I think it's kinde weirdly placed in the album, but a nice chill song.
10: FAKE YOUR DEATH
Of course a great song, but makes me sad how this is the only one to be released. There are so many better ones on this album, but I'm happy we even got an official release of a paper kingdom song.
9: OPERATION DAY
Such a damn good song. So mcr, and the instrumentals and vocals work perfectly.
8: BIRTHDAY GIRL
An absolute banger. Instrumentals go so hard and the lyrics really paint a great picture, and fits with the darker story perfectly.
7: BIKE THIEF
Might be controversial to put it this low, I love this song, such core mcr. But unfortunately, I prefer the other songs more.
6: DOGS
One of my favorites. Really catchy bassline and spacey sound, and that ending with the guitars and drums randomly jumping in gives me chills every time.
5: WAR BENEATH THE RAIN
This song is so perfect to bring back for their live shows. Epic song.
4: WITCH
Everything about this song is just so good. Opening notes hit you like a truck, and then fading into something slower, and then the guitars making it feel like a car crash. Perfect.
3: WAKE UP!
Probably also controversial to put this high. I just love this song so much. So catchy while including new elements and old elements of mcr. Reminds me of house of wolves.
2: DIVE
Really dark but such a cool and even slightly creepy song. The lead in from paper swords is almost mysterious, and the guitar cutting in immediately sets the mood.
1: PAPER SWORDS
Absolutely no competetion. Some of mcrs best work in my opinion. The piano line with the chant is really haunting, and then the rock parts really completes the song. Almost perfect.
