First listen completed, harder than I thought.
My current top 5 (no particular order):
- Red Hill Mining Town
- Two Hearts Beat As One
- The Little Things That Give You Away
- The Miracle (Of Joey Ramone)
- With Or Without You
I had already listened to the previews and youtube snippets a bunch of times, so the songs all had plenty of chances to grow on me ahead of a first full listen. I'd go with:
Stories for Boys
11 O'Clock Tick Tock
City of Blinding Lights
The Fly
40
It's hard to come up with a top five. There's very few that have fully grabbed me or rival the originals, but way more than five that I'm liking. I expect the list to shift wildly over the next week or so. I think I added and removed about five other songs while composing this post.
Stories for Boys
Two Hearts
11 O Clock
If God Will Send His Angels
40
There are some others I didn't dislike and could aee myself getting back to from time to time, like Dirty Day and Ordinary Love, but most of the songs are meh
I have heard in total 23 songs in full upto now and I am really finding it very very difficult to point out my top-5 ...... All the songs are eargasmly good sounding in my headphone and composition wise they are so so refreshing !!
Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
Invisible
If God Will Send His Angels
Bad
City of Blinding Lights / Lights Of Home (can't decide between those two which would be #5).
