I would say Bulldozer and Bubblegum next, then Brother's Blood, Split the Country, Concrete & Clouds, Clocks, Circle.

Love the new song from Kevin. I do hope that Freddie Gray Blues is reworked because the first version he posted on facebook I did not enjoy at all. I get the subject matter is important but I just thought it was a bad song. Guess we will find out
I thought the entire second verse where he repeats the word "cop" 9 different times was bad. Like I said I think the song is on an important topic, just didn't think that original was that good for what I'm used to from Kevin as a protest song. Maybe the fleshed out album version I'll like more.
That's definitely one of my favorites. I don't rank BTC&C very highly in terms of favorite albums but there's definitely songs on there I'd put in my top 10-15 KD songs, with "11-17" in my top 3.
alright got to hear two new songs, instigator, and "I was alive back then" both were pretty good. I think instigator will be better full band
Kevin ranked all of his records, pretty interesting read to hear some of the background and reasoning. https://noisey.vice.com/en_us/artic...s-his-eight-albums?utm_source=noiseytwitterus
Really cool ranking. I'm surprised a bit and I don't agree, but that was a nice read. One of my favorites of this series. Kevin seems awesome
My ranking is nothing like Kevin's either, but it's cool to see his input. 8. Circle Gets the Square 7. Split the Country, Split the Streets 6. Make the Clocks Move 5. Put Your Ghost to Rest 4. Brother's Blood 3. Bulldozer 2. Bubblegum 1. Between the Concrete & Clouds
Thanks for sharing. This was a great read. I agree with everything he said actually. Gonna go spin Brother's Blood now.
My ranking would be extremely close to his honestly 8. Circle Gets the Square 7/6. Split the Country, Split the Streets / Make the Clocks Move 5. Put Your Ghost to Rest 4. Bulldozer 3. Brother's Blood 2. Between the Concrete & Clouds 1. Bubblegum
