** “I Do Not Want This” is a delightfully creepy SanitySlippageSong, especially towards [[MadnessMantra the end.]]
** “Big Man With A Gun”, despite its [[MinisculeRocking short length]], is an excellent equal parts [[NightmareFuel horrifying]] and headbang-worthy track to finish off the first section of the album.

** "Heresy" is a hard-hitting fan favorite with a chorus that winds up being one big BlasphemousBoast.
** "March of the Pigs" despite its [[UncommonTime dizzying time signature]] is another thrashfest that one-ups "Wish" with additional textures. Still a live staple. Oh, [[SugarWiki/MostWonderfulSound that wonderful piano melody]]!



** "Ruiner" is an epic and aggressive [[Music/PinkFloyd "Comfortably Numb"-esque]] track (according to Trent Reznor himself) which fits perfectly for [[WarIsGlorious intense war scenes]] from action movies.

And saying a track is "absolutely worth mentioning" is Word Cruft twice over; "absolutely" and "worth mentioning" are both unnecessary. Go straight to mentioning it.
