Strategically, Can't Keep might be the best option.

Can’t Keep is pretty good, but really a fairly weak start to the album.

I’m comfortable with Go. The only one it really knocks out for me is Animal, and I’m ok with Hail Hail being track 2

That would be a fantastic and worthy start to the album.

This is fun. Had to go with can't keep. It will be great with hail hail or animal faithful. It also gets Riot Act off the board.

really good albums are as much about mood and feel as anything. so selecting random songs to fit any particular spot in the track list kind of betrays the idea of constructing an album with that in mind and will just lead to a hodgepodge of songs that have nothing to do with one another. i therefore take issue with the idea that this will lead to the "ultimate PJ album."

get your shit together jorge.

This is the challenge I would pick my favorite or what I think is the best.

Can't Keep
Hail Hail
DOTC
Tremor Christ
Black
Parachutes
Unthought Know
Rearviewmirror
Grievance
Low Light
Setting Sun
Future Days

The above doesn't feel like a hodge podge. This why even though I love Ten it would be really hard to include anything but Black , Ocean and Release, and why Future Days as flawed as it is. Is the only song that fits after setting Sun. I admit Grievance may be a theme outlier musical it fits in that spot well, and in many ways it to is about a shared human experience or a relationship with humanity.

Yeah, I've changed to Can't Keep. Saving a Vs. tune for later is definitely the play.

Good call, strategists.

Actually I will just nominate this and we can be done with it in record time. That would allow us more time to advance the 15th album thread.


Can't Keep
Hail Hail
DOTC
Tremor Christ
Black
Parachutes
Unthought Know
Rearviewmirror
Grievance
Low Light

That would be a pretty poor final result.

Bammer's thread has the songs listed, which is much better for the strategists among us.

Get your shit together, Jorge.
