OK, mine's something like this. I don't hate anything. I like, even love, most of these songs. My only disappointment is that I'm already having to make excuses for the slip-ups made in LTRP and FD. The trouble is I like the idea of them, lyrically and conceptually, more than I like the execution. Which will do, I guess. But this good album could've been a great one.
Top tier:
Pendulum Sirens Swallowed Whole Yellow Moon Infallible My Father's Son Sleeping By Myself

Ok, this is my first time. Here goes.
Love My Father's Son Sirens Pendulum Swallowed Whole Sleeping By Myself
Like Getaway MYM Lightning Bolt Infallible Yellow Moon
Meh Let The Records Play Future Days
I need a few more listens to refine those first impressions. LTRP sucks and FD is ok but the outro/piano thingy at the end makes me want to cry with frustration. I guess I got Brendan'd.

A week later, but maybe a little different way to rank these from the last time I tried. I really enjoy every song on this album except Future Days, which leaves me relatively meh-feeling:

I am listening to the album again now...I may have been too harsh on Swallowed Whole. I don't love it, but it's certainly not a bad song. More in the "not my thing" camp, rather than the "this is terrible" camp. This one may eventually grow on me.
LTRP...yikes, I don't know. I like the first part of it, but man, that chorus. Will I ever embrace it? Doubtful. The actual bluesy rock part isn't so bad though.
FD is kinda meh for me. It's a logical extension of JB and The End. I'm not crazy about either of those, so I'm not sure this one will ever click with me. Again though, it's one of those I don't hate, just not that into it.
