I'll stay strong.

Spoiler: show
Everytime I'm listening to a song I want to put it higher in my ranking. Maybe I'll just stop trying to rank.

That's a good lookin' list there you have there, Brad, don't listen to these goobers.

You guys know what's up with the top 3. Just admit that Sleeping By Myself is awesome and you've got it covered.

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

Mid tier:

Getaway
Lightning Bolt
Mind Your Manners

Bottom Tier

Let The Records Play
Future Days

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.

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.
