Honestly it ****s on those songs by about ten miles and is just mind bendingly brilliant. The entire album is amazing but that song in particular is a top 10 song of all-time possibly. One of those songs I can just put on repeat for an hour and zone out to. And I like "Silent Lucidity" and "Cemetery Gates", but "Scream of the Butterfly" is in its own league of atmospheric nihilism. Even that opening bass riff all by itself is enough to put me in the mood to care about nothing for as long as I care not to feel. And those ****ing lyrics are everything that can be gloriously wrong with the Earth.
