      Feels like classic Gaslight but there's also a clear evolution here.

    5. Little Fires
    6. The Weatherman
    7. Positive Charge

      Feels like they were trying to do classic Gaslight. Still good.

    8. A Lifetime of Preludes
    9. I Live in the Room Above Her

      Not bad.

    10. Empires

      Not good.

    I"m in this boat. I love 6 songs on this and thats one of 4 just "good". And as I said, i think the song could be longer.

    Preludes is a firm like, in an awkward place, behind 9 loves. So it was kinda screwed from the get.

    I have no idea how Room isn’t at least in everyone’s top 5. That song absolutely rules

    Like all Gaslight albums, there are songs that are VERY good that end up at the bottom of the rankings. Does not mean they are bad, or even average

    Damn apparently,Im the only one who’s not into this at all.Really tried listen to it couple times but it just dragging for me.

    I put Local Honey and this into the same category.Probably won’t really come back to it again.

    I'm just stoked we have an album from them that we all seem to love. Can't remember everyone being this stoked since Handwritten

    I feel like you can really tell how incredible this album is based on the wild variation in everyone’s rankings

    My top 2 are probably set in stone. 3-7 are interchangeable.

    8-10 are definitely my bottom 3 but I still like them.

    This was extremely hard to do since I feel like the album is so consistent but I’ll give it a shot.
