The Tourist has grown on me a lot since first hearing this, might even be my new favorite on the second half.

Lucky is underrated and has a lot of subtle aspects that add to how great it is, like Ed O'Brien's experimental guitar technique and the way it builds in the second half.

I must say I very much disagree with your ranking/ratings Ryus but at least you know that Let Down is the best.
|
| |
let down brings the feels yeah

Album Rating: 5.0
rating lucky & the tourist like that is inexplicable, frankly
those songs were always super similar to me, at least in comparison to the rest of the album
|
| |
not in my mind. lucky is pretty unremarkable

Album Rating: 5.0
honestly I don't know why they didn't just close with Lucky
it's not like they were strangers to cutting sublime tracks from their albums or anything

Album Rating: 5.0
One of only three albums where I think every song is a 5
Left and Leaving and Ritual de lo habitual are the other two
Ranking this album is nigh impossible for me - all I know is that "Exit Music," "Let Down," and "No Surprises" are my top 3 in that order, any ranking from me goes straight to hell after that
|
| |
the tourist is a terrific closer

Closing with Lucky would be cool but The Tourist works so well as a closer for me.

Album Rating: 5.0
I think the album needs to have The Tourist as a closer, both structurally and thematically. It really closes the circle opened by Airbag, I mean lyrically you can even view The Tourist as a precursor to Airbag.

if you didn't 5 this we are cool

Album Rating: 4.5
jk 5s all around hahahahahahahahahahah

Both are amazing but The Tourist feels the most like a closer on here

Album Rating: 5.0
I don't particularly want The Tourist gone I'm just kind of surprised it's on the record, given how mercilessly they cut the thing (how many bands could get away with cutting songs as strong as "Pearly" & "Palo Alto" ?)
but yeah if we're gonna relate it to Airbag I think Lucky actually has a pretty good parallel as well, tho more of an aftermath thing than a precursor

I see what you're saying, but to me Lucky has the perfect feel for a penultimate track, going big before the closer goes small. Lucky might have been too epic to properly serve as a closer (plus I think The Tourist is a better song anyways so ending with it is better).
