    Re: ***Official Rank the AFTW Songs Thread***

    This album is hard to rank. Thus, this:

    Broken Things, Belly Belly Nice, Sweet, The Riff, If Only, and Snow Outside all sound organically DMB, with great incorporations of RR, TC, and TR. Really promising sound and impressive arrangements.

    Mercy, Gaucho, and Drunken Soldier I do enjoy quite a bit, and sound like classic DMB, but on a BW level. There is missed potential in these songs. DS is harder for me to throw in this list, but Dave could have easily written a better chorus for such a musically impressive album closer.

    Belly Full is unique. A nice folk song that serves as a reprise of earlier themes. I like it.

    Rooftop had some missed opportunities melodically, but RR just kills the end. Sounds like a song that fits in the musical era between Everyday and Stand Up.

    Broken Things
    Belly Belly Nice
    The Riff
    If Only
    Drunken Soldier
    Rooftop
    Gaucho
    Mercy
    Sweet
    Snow Patrol

    Part of what drags down Gaucho for me is how flat it sounds live.

    For the record I think this album is awesome.

    1. If Only
    2. Broken Things
    3. Belly Belly
    4. The Riff
    5. Sweet
    6. Drunken Soldier
    7. Snow Outside
    8. Gaucho
    9.Belly Full
    10. Rooftop
    11. Mercy

    I wouldn't say any one song is terrible, I just find mercy to be a little boring.When I say boring I mean lyrically boring. Def wouldn't care to hear it live too much.

    1. Belly Belly Nice
    2. Rooftop
    3. The Riff (preferred Live though)
    4. Mercy
    5. Drunken Soldier
    6. Broken Things

    Big fan of these top 6 and order could be completely interchangeable on any given day

    7. If Only
    8. Belly Full
    9. Snow Outside
    Okay with these ones

    10. Sweet - a bit over it already
    11. Gaucho - cannot get this to work for me at all?!?

    After 150 surveys taken (the max I got for free), overall, here the most liked songs, from first to last:

    Numbers in parentheses are the total of everyone's rankings together, so you can see how close some songs are.

    No surprise, but the two longest songs on the album were much preferred by Ants. In addition, the number in brackets shows where the rankings changed, if at all, from when I pulled the results really early in September.

    1. Drunken Soldier (429) [0]
    2. Snow Outside (519) [0]
    3. Broken Things (571) [0]
    4. The Riff (808) [0]
    5. Belly Belly Nice (827) [0]
    6. Rooftop (890) [up 1 spot]
    7. If Only (971) [up 1 spot]
    8. Mercy (1073)[up 1 spot]
    9. Sweet (1075) [dropped 3 spots]
    10. Gaucho (1233) [0]
    11. Belly Full (1312) [0]

    Notice the major difference between #'s 1-3 and #4. There is major consensus on those first 3 songs as being the best on the album.

    FWIW, here are my rankings:

    Top 3:
    If Only
    Belly Belly Nice
    Broken Things

    Second tier:
    Sweet
    The Riff
    Snow Outside
    Rooftop

    Third Tier
    Mercy
    Drunken Soldier (the most overrated song potentially... ever. Lyrics suck, Musically sure it's fun, but so is Gaucho... Also the hype was SO high on this one... i'm still getting over it).
    Gaucho
    Belly Full

    A lot of my friends who are casual fans and have been listening to the album reallllly love Sweet. Just kinda odd that it's their favorite. I thought it would be less popular with the general fanbase, but now it's starting to grow on me too. That being said:

    Broken Things
    Snow Outside
    The Riff
    Belly Belly Nice
    Drunken Soldier
    If Only
    Rooftop
    Sweet
    Gaucho

    Re: ***Official Rank the AFTW Songs Thread***

    After 2 months,this is how I rate the tunes :

    The Riff
    Snow Outside
    Drunken Soldier
    Belly Belly Nice
    Mercy
    Broken Things
    Gaucho
    If Only
    Rooftop
    Sweet
    Belly Full

    I loved the Riff first time I heard it at Hershey (06.29),and I think it's the strongest tune on the album.Belly Full does nothing for me,and the lyrics (IMO) are just awful.
