Well I will start with this one, because King Chaos wanted it, and King Chaos is an intelligent person
More seriously, I thought it would be an original thread too. Of course, there are very few DT "ballads" but all are interesting songs. This doesn't mean I like them all.
I consider for example Day to End like one of the worst DT songs. Stanne's almost a cappella beginning with only these "electonic" sounds in the background never made it for me, and overall I find the song just boring. But it was worth trying something completly different, right?
On the contrary Emptier Still has always been one of my favourite songs, though I was first derouted by the electronic intro. The use of both growls and clean vocals is perfect, without this pop-ish ( ) vibe we find in some Projector songs. And above all, the lyrics are great too... first, they are UNDERSTANDABLE, and after these love-song-like lyrics... DON'T SPEAK 'CAUSE YOU ARE ME !
Auctionned could have been as great if Stanne had used growls in the chorus instead of clean vocals. I think the verses are great, but the chorus almost ruins the song...
Maybe there are other songs which could be considered as "ballads"... but these three are obvious
This is of course my humble opinion, and I wait for your feelings...
