Last Chance To Evacuate Planet Earth Before It Is Recycled

[bout to crash]

Feel So Low. I like it but have always found it a bit lyrically weak...

[BRGM]

The rest will flow, but all of these songs are spectacular so it doesn't really matter.

Feel So Low. I like it but have always found it a bit lyrically weak...

I think the lyrics are intentionally like that, honestly, and I like how obviously clunky they are.
Where We Would Be, again, until it's gone, I fail to see what makes it better than any other song on the album.

I also went with Where We Would Be. I wouldn't call it bad, it's just very forgettable. How Is Your Life Today? despite its short length has some really beautiful vocal melodies and craft behind it, whereas Where We Would Be just feels like a B-side.

For what it's worth I'd rank the album like this

Last Chance To Evacuate
Russia on Ice
Feel So Low
Lightbulb Sun
Shesmovedon
Hatesong
The Rest Will Flow
How Is Your Life Today
Four Chords That Made a Million
Where We Would Be

So I can't hugely complain about the rankings at present though there's still a big gap between #9 and #10 for me, 'cause I at least kind of dig Four Chords.
