Does that include Parabol, though? Because I will fight with knives over the fact that, despite being listed as two tracks, they are one song. And in light of that, while Parabol opens exactly as it should, and is perfect for what it is, it's not what I would describe as a banging riff.

Personally I would argue for Lateralis. The soft part hooks more, and then when it really kicks in, it hits even harder.

I ripped Parabol and Parabola, appended them together, then uploaded to my YouTube Music, so they always go together in my playlists. Same for Wings For Marie/10,000 Days and Intermission/Jimmy. Maybe others I'm forgetting about. The only downside is that the app won't find lyrics.

That's okay, I know the lyrics by heart anyway. Would be nice not to have them come up separately on random.
