For a song titled "Laser Speed", it's really just boring acoustic Latin jazz/bossa nova elevator music.

This pointless hidden track from Devin Townsend's "Terria" album actually caused me to drop my score a half mark.

You think that "Humble" hidden track is bad? This immediate follow-up to the absolutely stunning epic "Planet Rain", the bizarre hidden track "Forgotten", botching the wacky fun "Bad Devil", is enough to make me nauseous. That track, along with the out-of-place "Death" and "Devoid", have caused me to drop a half-mark from the 5-star score I would've given the underrated Physicist.

It's very unusual for The Ocean to actually have a qualifying song here, but its repetitive structure makes this a skippable stinker, and you wonder if this is the same band:

Ok, there's a bit of progressiveness in here, but this is mostly a blues rock filler track, with Geoff Tate's vocals attempting to be the track's saving grace but ultimately failing:

These new unfitting modern influences cause things to go down in sh*t with pointless filter in this EP's intro:

As much as I enjoy the rest of Textures' debut, I see no point in including this overlong ambient sh*t at the end (the only Textures track to ever qualify for this thread):
