I wouldn't go out of my way to listen to any of these songs individually, apart from Every Breaking Wave (piano). I would probably choose to listen to Invisible and Ordinary Love but they aren't on the album.
However if you put these songs together collectively in an album then all of a sudden songs like The Miracle, California, Cedarwood Road, Sleep like a Baby and Raised by Wolves become a lot stronger.
Whereas with Songs of Experience, I would probably listen to the Blackout, Lights of Home (Strings), The Best Thing, GOOYOW, Little Things and Love is Bigger individually, but for some reason the Album doesn't seem as strong as Songs of Innocence and doesn't flow as well as Songs of Innocence.

Originally posted by neilgohil:Personally, I think if you replaced "Sleep Like A Baby Tonight" and "This Is Where You Can Reach Me Now" with "Lucifer's Hands" and "The Crystal Ballroom", and changed the running order a bit, it'd be a near perfect album. "California" is an underated song and would've done well as a single.
