Don't dislike any song on here tbh.



Sue is the 'weakest' if I had to choose, Girl Loves Me has swagger for days.

This could be near a 5 if those two tracks switched places with No Plan and When I Met You from the No Plan EP, which both fit in with this album's theme really well.

It's weird that the documentary is being talked about the past few months on film sites and such when it came out over a year ago.

That "Heroes" mashup 2 1/2 minutes into the doc is so cool

I feel you Talons but I'd argue Sue, with its themes of mental degradation and loss fits on here perfectly



if anything feels out of place with the concept it's Tis A Pity and Girl Loves Me, but they're both bangers which provided some much needed levity

True. It has grown on me over time.

I'm excited to see how this playlist I made on my iPhone goes:

1. Blackstar

2. 'Tis a Pity

3. Lazarus

4. Girl Loves Me

5. No Plan

6. When I Met You

7. Dollar Days

8. I Can't Give Everything Away

then these two can be the wacky bonus tracks:

9. Sue

10. Killing

I can't see the album with any of those tracks replaced, however, No Plan would've been a worthy track. The other two would suffice as bonuses.

I don't take any tracks off the main album, cos they honestly all slap and even with two extra tracks it still clocks in at 48 minutes which is nice and breezy. anyway, I've been jamming this:



Blackstar

Pity

Killing a Little Time

Lazarus

Sue

No Plan

Girl Loves Me

Dollar Days

I Can't Give Everything Away





really really not a When I Met You fan

It reminds me of something that would be on The Next Day, which if that song were to be on it, it'd be even better imo



Blackstar, though? It'd be jarring to have it on there.

When I Met You is freeing and nice to listen to, so yea it'd fit on The Next Day.
