"All great works are prepared in the desert, including the redemption of the world. The precursors, the followers, the Master Himself, all obeyed or have to obey one and the same law. Prophets, apostles, preachers, martyrs, pioneers of knowledge, inspired artists in every art, ordinary men and the Man-God, all pay tribute to loneliness, to the life of silence, to the night." - A.

This is extremely tentative, and my list probably changes with every listen.  But, something to this general effect:

1. Beneath the Surface
2. Bridges in the Sky
3. Breaking All Illusions
4. On the Backs of Angels
5. This is the Life
6. Outcry
7. Far From Heaven
8. Build Me Up, Break Me Down
9. Lost Not Forgotten

For sure BTS, BITS, and BAI make up my top three, although I'm not sure of the order.  Nothing else is set in stone yet.
Sincerely,
Jaffa

Spots 4-7 I'm undecided on just now and they'll probably move about a bit for a while until I can settle on a definitive ranking :D

6. Build Me Up, Break Me Down
7. Lost Not Forgotten
8. This Is The Life
9. Far From Heaven

Apart from the top three and bottom one, the rest is subject to a lot of change. I've had This Is The Life as high as 4 a couple of days ago, although I think OTBOA belongs there for now, but I have heard it many more times compared to the others. This Is The Life has some great moments but overall I don't think it stands out as much as the others. Build Me Up, Break Me Down is awesome in a lot of ways but I could see it and This Is The Life getting boring. Lost Not Forgotten is also great but it has some parts I don't think are that great compared to the other songs around it.

Also, Outcry is pretty close to Breaking All Illusions.

Wow, Bridges in the sky at 9th place is quite interesting.

1. Breaking All Illusions
2a. Bridges in the Sky
2b. Outcry
2c. Beneath The Surface
5a. Lost not Forgotten
5b. This is the life
7. OTBOA
8. Far From Heaven
9. BMUBMD

Obviously I'm having trouble deciding the exact rankings. Everything is so consistently incredible (even last place BMUBMD is awesome)

Epic BAI and BITS are epic. OTBOA is still a really good song. Lost Not Forgotten is pretty weaksauce. Outcry is actually quite good, but a little incoherent.

All three ballads, however, are beautiful, and in different ways. I believe this is the first album I've been able to say that about since Six Degrees.

Lost Not Forgotten
Bridges In The Sky
This Is The Life

Breaking All Illusions
On The Backs Of Angels
Build Me Up, Break Me Down
Beneath The Surface
Far From Heaven
Outcry

That's only an approximate order, as I rate them fairly closely. First three are definitely my first 3, although the order could change from day to day.

Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

This is after two listens. I only listened to OTBOA once pre release, didn't want to spoil it. Also the non studio mix doesn't do it justice. Surprised by how well I liked it because bunch early reviews said it was the one of the weaker tracks. Bridges in the Sky is by far my favorite track its almost on its on tier for me.

I think I feel comfortable about giving a ranking after 10 or so listens:

1. Breaking All Illusions
2. Lost Not Forgotten
3. Far From Heaven
4. Bridges in the Sky
5. On the Backs of Angels
6. Beneath the Surface
---
7. This is the Life
8. Outcry
9. Build Me Up, Break Me Down

Keep in mind that the first cluster of 6 is very close as far as quality goes, and the rankings there are subject to change very much, but BAI and BMUBMD are pretty set in their positions. The bottom three should be noted as being considerably less awesome than the top six generally are, but still very good; there are no bad songs here.
