Thought this was a fun idea.

My top 5 songs:

1. Appearances
2. Complication With Optimistic Outcome
3. One Particular Moment
4. Eventually We Find Our Way
5. A Thousand Details

I absolutely adore Appearances. I think it's the best they've ever done, soundtrack-wise. I can listen to it on repeat for hours. I will never ever get tired of it.

Before Gone Girl came out, I had a similar relationship to Complication With Optimistc Outcome. It's kind of funny that the song isn't even in the film. It sounds incredibly sad and beautiful at the same time. I love the combination of the synths and the NIN-typical swarm guitar.

One Particular Moment just screams TRAR. It's really their signature sound. I love it.

Eventually We Find Our Way is my second favorite song from TSN. That guitar part starting at 2:36? Pure awesomeness.

Last but not least: A Thousand Details. I think that one speaks for itself.

(Honorable mention: Hand Covers Bruise, Technically, Missing)

So, what are your favorite TRAR songs? :)

Its an older one but I really like Driver Down.

Also, Intriguing Possibilities and Hand Covers Bruise are also favs.

3:14 Every Night
Eventually We Find Our Way
In The Hall Of The Mountain King
The Gentle Hum Of Anxiety
Soft Trees Break The Fall

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo:

BRoswell Breaking everything down by album is exactly what I wanted to avoid! :) I think it would be interesting to see what your overall favorite songs are. Could you pin down five tracks if you had to choose?

1. The Way He Looks At Me
2. Consummation

One Particular Moment
The Hall Of The Mountain King
Revealed in the Thaw
Strange Activities
Intriguing Possibilities

That was surprisingly easy, as I love about 85% of the 3 Fincher Soundtracks.

Intriguing Possibilities is great and Capture and Fenway is maybe my favorite TR instrumental of all time.

but also some not so obvious like

What if we could?

Any suggestions?

As long as "8 Billion" closes out your mix, you have done things correctly.
