3.636 vs. 3.955 for Cities



Then again if we're ranking songs being imprecise (e.g., 1-10 scale) makes this whole list pointless

The bridge is actually my least favorite part. Specifically the first half... "You're so brilliant/Don't soon forget." But when it gets to the "This is the correlation..." part, yeah it gets pretty awesome.

Hope I'm not too late to the ranking party! Imma gonna do it a bit differently since I don't think I can give the individual songs a number though and/or because of my constant need to be different than everyone else.

A Whisper & A Clamor



Vital wins for me if I look at it this way... I also don't think that individual track ratings would have to equal out to your rating of the entire album. Looking at an album as a whole and then as individual songs can be be completely different. I've had albums that I loved all the songs off of, but when I look at the entire package it hurts it because of things like weird pacing, songs that don't belong or songs that sound too much like each other, etc. etc.

A 3 for Unwinding Cable Car? A "meh" for A Whisper and A Clamor?



This is blasphemy I tell you! Blasphemy!



Yeah Kj, I think the slower songs on this make this noticeably worse than Cities but maybe that's just

me. Besides a 3.5 isn't bad at all.

It's definitely an enjoyable record, but even as this is new, I still find myself wanting to jam all the older stuff more.
