Baryonyx - Re-Sequenced

Introducing the Re-Sequenced Baryonyx! The Jurassic World Baryonyx is no stranger to ire and criticism, and I admit I’m not the biggest fan either, but this art is meant to be more of an exploration of the design than a criticism/”fix”. I wanted to keep the things I liked while incorporating more “real science” and adding some extra character/flair. Enjoy!

The Missing Man

Okay, so I expect this to be controversial for a few reasons. I threw the whole Missing Man in there for instance. I have my reasons for everything.

This series was actually inspired by the fact that the vinyl version has She Speaks the Language and Above the Bridge swapped, even though I kept their usual relative spots on the album intact. But also

for me, when the Blood Album first dropped I was really underwhelmed by it. But when The Missing Man dropped I couldn't help but think that if those songs were on Blood, I'd have a much higher opinion of the album.

So yeah, anyway the OG list is mostly intact here, but with a few quirks.

Not every Blood track made it on my list, and that might be significant later (looking at you, Very Proud of Ya).

I've always been underwhelmed by Aurelia. Period.

On The Wind that Carries Me Away, I'm always glad when AFI tries to experiment. Sometimes it pays off and you get a Dulcería out of it. This isn't really that for me. I know this song has its fans, and if that's you, I suppose this could be a hidden song at the end of the record.

On So Beneath You, I have complicated feelings towards this song in a way I don't have for similar subject songs like Sacrilege, Prayer Position, etc. I think Get Dark* can be swapped for it though, if that's what you prefer.

On White Offerings, I felt like its presence was redundant with Get Dark, and to be honest I've never really felt like this song was about anything.

With those out of the way, I wanted to try to inject the Missing Man songs where they most made sense flow wise, and I agree with AFI that Trash Bat is a strong opener and The Missing Man is a great closer.

I kinda cheated and stuck the other three in order right in the middle of Blood.

I do think Above the Bridge into Break Angels works really well, and one unintended neat thing that arose in the tracklist is Get Dark -> Dark Snow -> Snow Cats. Though I admit the transition from Get Dark to Dark Snow is a little jarring.

I also love going from Pink Eyes to She Speaks the Language, and the accidental transition that happens there almost sounds intentional.

Last two things of note is that I pushed Feed from the Floor waaaaay back but I really like its placement there.

The other is that I have a strong preference for the demo version of Get Hurt and if anyone hasn't heard that they need to get on it. If that demo didn't exist, I'd probably wipe Get Hurt in favor of So Beneath You or White Offerings

Anyway, I don't expect this list to go over well with everyone. There's too much personal preference inserted into it, but I can't help but feel that I'd like the Blood Album so much more if the official tracklist was something closer to this

As always, let me know what y'all think! Like this? Hate this? Got a better list? I wanna hear it!
