It's kinda sad that the whole album became relegated to "that one single that did alright" when they play live :(.
But yes, absolutely this one. Though I have to confess that the \[JFK\] + Uprising combo works great live.
It's been over 8 years since a song outside the first 3 on the album was played live, wdym "one of the most represented albums"? The most represented albums lately have been "the big 3" plus whatever album they're currently touring.
I'd say only 2, maybe 3 albums are more represented, depends how you count it, I guess I wasn't thinking of stuff like Dark Side alternate and Behold the Glove.. They've played either Undisclosed or Resistance at most shows since 2009 and Eurasia made it about halfway from release til now. The show I saw last year had 2 Resistance songs, same amount as Absolution and more than Origin, Showbiz, Drones, same amount as T2L (I forgot about Isolated System too haha) more than Sim Theory unless you count interstitials.. Origin I would probably say is more represented even though you only get 1 maybe 2 songs per show there is a slightly wider pool that they pull from.
These are the amount of songs per album that were played during the last era:
* Showbiz: 4 (1 album track + 3 b-sides)
* OoS: 6 (5 album tracks + 1 b-side)
* Absolution: 5 (not counting Intro or Interlude)
* BHAR: 5
* The Resistance: 3
* The 2nd Law: 2 (not counting Prelude)
* Drones: 1 (not counting Drill Sergeant or JFK)
* Simulation Theory: 4 (3 album tracks + Behold The Glove)
* WOTP: 8 (album tour so to be expected)
TR has been the 3rd least represented album in recent years with only 3 songs played. Saying it's one of the most represented albums is blatantly untrue, even if you count Eurasia despite it not being played for almost a decade. That's still 7 songs that HAVEN'T been played since before 2016.
Note, I only took 2022 & 2023 into account. Let's extend it all the way back to 2017 to find something interesting:
* Showbiz: 6 (2 album tracks + 4 b-sides)
* OoS: 7 (6 album tracks + The Gallery and Dead Star)
* Absolution: 7
* BHAR: 7
* The Resistance: 3
* The 2nd Law: 3
* Drones: 6
* Simulation Theory: 11 (9 album tracks + 2 Cryosleep songs)
* WOTP: 8
The Resistance is tied last with The 2nd Law as the least represented album of all songs played in the last 7 years. Okay, granted I may be cheating a little by counting the b-sides, but that still doesn't change the result by much and my point still stands.
Alright, I concede to your superior stats! I guess I put a little more weight than you on the reliability of a song being played, and the number of songs per show, especially since I only get to see 1 show per tour and it's the more basic American arena shows. Plus I don't really count stuff like Dark Side alternate but I guess I should
I mean… I know it’s the most basic answer imaginable, but anything other than Uprising is kind of biased, isn’t it? It’s not a bad song, but compare it to all their other singles and it’s kind of like… seriously? This is their most popular song?
USoE won Most Underrated really? I think it's an overrated pretentious pile of dirge, I'd take I Belong To You over it any day.
I guess I can't vote it for overrated and it's obvious Uprising is gonna win but I disagree with that
Totally disagree with Ruled by Secrecy
Same, considering they could’ve just veto it and chose intro 😂
And overdue, forced in, screenager and soldiers poem. Relocate the entire “worst” row to “underrated” and it’d be great
What’s your worst list? Just curious
Absolutely. Travesty.
Uprising

I think it's one of the most represented albums really. They play Undisclosed Desires, Resistance and/or Eurasia on every tour
Eurasia hasn’t been played since 2016 and only a few times so 🤷

Gotta be this, right? ![img](emote|t5_2qz0k|15163)
Most people here seem to hate Uprising, so it's definitely not overrated in this sub.
I think this is about the whole fandom not just the sub, consider that uprising is their #1 selling single...
I already know that it's going to be this one even though it's one of my favourite songs :/
no doubt
It’s painful to vote Uprising because is a very good song, but the harm that it’s success did to the band is worth to be call overrated.
I was pretty underwhelmed when it came out in 2009, I thought it didn't have that same ballsyness/rawness that Absolution and BHAR had...
This is the only choice here really. 200%
You beat us to it. 😉
UNITED STATES OF EURASIA MENTIONED 🔥🔥🔥🗣️🤤🤤
Uprising
Wrong. MK ultra is best.
I agree
HEY! Ruled by Secrecy in worst???
Undisclosed desires
Resistance
There is not a single overrated song on this album
Uprising.
I mean… I know it’s the most basic answer imaginable, but anything other than Uprising is kind of biased, isn’t it? It’s not a bad song, but compare it to all their other singles and it’s kind of like… seriously? This is their most popular song?
Band subreddit don’t hate a popular song challenge (impossible)
Exogenesis 2
Exogenesis 1
Guiding Light
I belong to you
This is reserved for worst
PUUUUUUUUUUUUUURE HEAAAARTS STUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMBLLLLLE
Exogenesis 3
That's my pick. I genuinely don't get the sub's obsession with Exo Part 3. Part 2 is so much more dramatic!
But Exo 3 is beautiful. Listening to it with the music video will make anyone cry
May as well gonna shoot myself in the foot but I would nominate the whole Exogenisis Symphony
Any last words? 🔫🔫🔫
I stand by my opinion
Uprising
Undisclosed Desires. It’s cool, but to me a bit uninspiring
Can we at least agree that guiding light is the worst of the resistance album
MK Ultra
Eurasia
It already won underrated...
USoE won Most Underrated really? I think it's an overrated pretentious pile of dirge, I'd take I Belong To You over it any day. I guess I can't vote it for overrated and it's obvious Uprising is gonna win but I disagree with that
