For me, it was just a case of having to pick a 5th option.
Re: people voting against Miasma:
who doesn't love this?
It's fake. He's not playing the sax.

Sorry but it's the exact same as the album which is obviously an indicator that it's 100% live

Agree -- get with the program, folks. Come on board for the big win. Life Eternal is the best track on Prequelle.
Number 6
Ancient Mariner
Well, I wouldn't go that far.
Really tough choosing anything now. Going for Pinnacle (find it's more about big sound than great songwriting), He Is (more novelty value than anything), and See The Light (not at all bad, but one of the weaker songs here IMO). Boo to anyone voting for Pro Memoria.

Well this certainly wasn't easy, but I ended up going with:
Spirit
Faith
Pro Memoria
Life Eternal

These votes for Pinnacle and moreso Faith are mind-boggling. The latter is one of the riffiest, catchy, most metal songs they've ever written and Pinnacle is a groovy masterpiece.
Thy threads are merged.
Con Clavi Con Dio - probably prototypical early Ghost. 7/10.
Ritual - what Ghost will be come. 9/10.
Elizabeth - it's fine. 6/10.
Per Aspera Ad Inferi - yeah, this is good. 8/10.
Secular Haze - It's kinda slow and I don't think it ever hits a gear that it should. 6/10.
Year Zero - 10/10 one of my favourite Ghost songs.
From the Pinnacle to the Pit - also very good 8/10.
Cirice - if this isn't Ghost at their best, then Square Hammer is. 10/10.
He Is - 8/10 very good, fun singalong chorus. Much better live.
Absolution - Still a good song 8/10.
Square Hammer - if this isn't Ghost at their best, then Cirice is. 10/10.
Ashes - 6/10, intro.
Rats - 9.5/10, best on the album, too bad it never gets that good again. Top 5 Ghost song.
Faith - 7.5/10, pretty good track, good chorus. Could use a little oomph to get over the hump. Loses half a point for tacking an intro on at the end of the song.
Miasma - Overproduced and under developed. Same basic music looped on different instruments. It's elevator music for the first half, then kicks up a notch which barely gets it to 6/10.
Dance Macabre - Designed for radio play. Still a catchy as fuck track and a solid entry in the Ghost canon. Sad they had to hire famous Swedish pop writers to make a second song on Prequelle that isn't utterly forgettable. 8/10, loses a point for not being written by the band.
Witch Image - Starts promising, ends up in the same pop-rock sound. Not memorable. 6/10.
Life Eternal - It's not bad, I wish it was, you know, heavy. And it has the same problem as Dance Macabre in being written by a famous Swedish pop artist. Still, it's nice. 6/10.
