Swarming Spirits is a great song and a deep cut on that album but it’s not my #1. This list is in no particular order. I would have to say TOG is my fav song and BC  and AH are also top songs for me…I can’t really rank Tourniquet because  I really like 99% of their music. Even their worst songs are better than most band’s songs


Hats off to you though, for mentioning Metallica, Metallica, Metallica …lol

Swarming Spirits is my favorite song from STB. 

It definitely has a creepy King Diamond vibe!

It's on the lower half of the album for me, but that's nothing negative because the whole album is amazing! My favorite on the album is The Threshing Floor bc the chorus is amazing, both the riff and "your life is in danger", and the melody in the verses is the best example of how there's just something special about the melodies on that album.

What I like about Threshing Floor is the cool use of the whammy bar as part of the riff.

True, you usually just see that kind of stuff in solos

The entire Stop The Bleeding. Is my top 10.
