So how does this match up with that fake tracklist? Getaway sort of sounds similar to We're Outta Here or whatever, and I think they had that as the opener.

Yikes, the end of this record might be total weak sauce.

I'd remove the track names from the actual CD cover, tbh, but it's cool as is

MYM is the worst of the bunch. It tries too hard. I like Yellow Moon the best.

We just gotta hope YM salvages that potential 3-song train wreck at the end.

No, sorry. I'm drinking. I mean, I like The End. But this is basically an inferior version of the same song, in the same place. An easy choice to end the album on an acoustic closer. I may be wrong but the songs sound so similar.

"Sleeping By Myself" doesn't try hard enough.

Exactly the kind of spelling you'd get if you tried to write down the sound of a thunder bolt. I guess.

I think it fits 'we decided to recycle a uke song even though we wrote for 5 years' perfectly

If I know PJ, the entire second half will be weaker.
