Porcelina is my 2nd favorite haha





My favorite song on this record has always been Thru The Eyes Of Ruby though. Such a powerful tune and then that super soft ending just seals the deal.

I don't really care for Stumbleine at all honestly



Pretty uninteresting compared to most of the album

1979 is good, and Love is great



Honestly this album would be hell to rank



Take Me Down would be easily the worst though

Would it have been better if the album was chopped to the top 12 or 14 songs on the above list? I'd say yes but the quality is pretty tight considering 28 tracks



Ranking also shows the start of Side 2 is the strongest section of the album

I gotta disagree doofus



Porcelina, Stumbleine, Cupid De locke, and Thirty Three are all like 5/5's for me

Porkylina is a slightly too bloated attempted epic



The rest you mention all seem too 'genre experiment-y' for me to love them, Thirty Three is a decent enough song I guess but In the Arms of Sleep and To Forgive slay it



I didn't rate anything below a 3 so all the songs are at least 'good'

Stumbleine Is for sure a 5/5 track

And genre experimenty parts make this album so fun to listen to
