Best use of freeze arrows

A lot of the newer songs have freeze arrows, but many of them seem to be there to make it look harder. A good example is The Shining Polaris. It has 70-some freeze arrows, but if they weren't there, you'd play the song the exact same way.

So what songs make the best use of freeze arrows? My opinions:

-Ghosts: This song would be a *lot* easier without the constant foot-switching required because of the freezes.
-Candy <3: The freezes during the chorus force you to really plan out which foot to start on.
-Silent Hill Oni: I really like how the set of freezes at the beginning make you turn around backwards (but not do a complete spin).
-Will I?: The freezes before the chorus go well with the off-beats.

For the record, I'm really not a fan of the "hold a long freeze while tapping arrows with the other foot" thing.... a la Freckles, Breakdown, Long Train Runnin', many others.

I think MaxX Unlimited makes good use of their freezes. Without them, the song's much easier. Hysteria 2001 also has good freeze arrow usage.

yeah i still step on those stupid arrows... ...so what? >_>
Freeze arrows can either make a break a song for me. It seems there's a good amount of songs that have been ruined by too many freeze arrows. When they're used right though, they can really add a lot to the song.

Some songs with freeze arrows I like would be Heaven is a '57 Metallic Grey. I know it's there's not many but I really do like the sequences involving them. I like the beginning freezes in Sweet Sweet Love Magic, although the ones later in the song tend to be a bit annoying. Love Shine and Exotic Ethnic also have some cool freezes.

Now for some songs that I don't like how the freeze arrows are used. Justify My Love comes to mind first. Honestly, are those really necessary? They're really awkward, too. There's like a gallop that starts on a 4th note, followed by a freeze that starts on a 16th note. My Sweet Darlin's freezes are weird too, but overall I really like that song.

I almost forgot this one:

Legend of Max on Standard makes excellent use of the freeze arrows. The freezes alone make up more than 70 percent of the reason why i want to play the song in the first place.
