There were lots of solid tracks but then there were others like "Tales of a Scorched Earth" and "Where Boys Fear To Tread" that I was not very impressed with... :/
With Tracks like Galapagos, Bodies, By Starlight, Muzzle and Porcelina of The Vast Oceans it's right up there with Siamese to me. I think the two tracks you named are great for being in their because they are the heavy end of the spectrum and it's all the variety of tone, style and mood that made that album the most epic in their catalog! I also think XYU which is ridiculously loud was a great addition to the album!
