Alright guys, Lightning Bolt, you know what to do...

[Jorge]

I'm always instantly unhappy with my rankings the second I'm done and looking at it.

We call that Rankers' Remorse. Just power through it.

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.

[4/5]

This will change a bunch I'm sure:

Tier 1/Love:
Infallible
Pendulum
Yellow Moon
Sirens

Tier 2/Like
Swallowed Whole
My Father's Son
Future Days

Tier 3: Could go either way
Getaway
Mind Your Manners
Lightning Bolt

Tier 4: Meh
Sleeping By Myself
Let The Records Play

After a week, and having had a few spins of the lossless version now ...

Top Tier:

Infallible
Getaway
Mind Your Manners (I find I like this a great deal more in the context of the album)
My Father's Son
Pendulum
Yellow Moon

Mid Tier:

Sirens
Lightning Bolt
Future Days
Sleeping By Myself

Bottom Tier:

Let the Records Play
Swallowed Whole

[Norah]

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.

[harmless]

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

Meh

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.

Pendulum - 10/10 (favorite track)
Swallowed Whole - 10/10 (2nd favorite track)
LTRP - 7/10
SBM - 7/10
Yellow Moon - 8/10
Future Days - 6/10

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.
