Another Story and 10000 Weight in Gold are the best songs, imo. If there is a better song about a tragedy than Another Story, I haven't heard it. Cruel is great too. The songs that Josiah wrote are the weakest imo (Fire/Fear and Josh McBride). I only say that because those songs were much better in their original form, but THATH was trying to differentiate themselves from the likes of the Lumineers and Mumford on this album, so they totally changed the sound. They are leaps and bounds a better band than those 2, and I don't think they needed to get away from acoustic pop folk to prove that. Charity's songs show some potential too, but Summertime definitely takes some getting used to..although it seemed to be a hit in the live setting.
