If this was on Hot In The Shade, it would be a highlight. Up against Thou Shalt Not and especially Unholy, it's just... there.

This was great. I wasn't too sold on Idris Elba's faux-Obama (even though I like Elba and Obama) but that's a very minor criticism of an excellent construction.

I love this one. Raise Your Glasses, Pledge Allegiance and especially Into The Void are the Psycho Circus tracks I'd save from a fire.

Even though this is an utterly shameless attempt to hijack the Spaceman vibe, it's a very enjoyable song. I really like Monster.

All art is subjective, music especially so. You like what you like, and there's no right or wrong about what's good and what's not.
That said, you're definitely wrong about this one 😀

The overblown Broadway style is all part of the experience that makes The Elder one of my favourites.

There's better stuff on The Elder, but I still enjoy this muchly.

Three for me too. Even though it was recorded at the same time as the Creatures songs, it still seems to have a foot in the Elder sound (which I adore).
Considering it's a Paul song, it's odd that the vocal is slightly buried and the bass is so prominent. (The bass is pretty good, though.)

I'd have to listen to I Finally Found My Way to ascertain which is more excrutiating, but this is certainly one of their two worst songs.

Three for me too. I enjoy it in the context of the album but have never felt an urge to listen to it in its own right.

The Crazy Nights album is my guilty pleasure, and this is one of my favourites.
The production is too clean for the song – there's stuff on Nevison's Heart album that's tougher than this – but I still like it.

Like most of Sonic Boom, for me, this is fun but forgettable.
