    9. Swallowed Whole
    10. Yellow Moon (reminds me of Hawaii '78)
    11. My Father's Son (not doing it for me yet and am disappointed because the band talked great things about it)
    12. Sleeping By Myself (too familiar with the uke version to like this one)

    *I'm sure this will change the more I listen to it. So far I've let the record play only 5 times. I'm sure it will be around 15 by the time I go to bed this evening.

    After two listens ... :think:
    1. My Father's Son
    2. Pendulum
    3. Infallible
    4. Getaway
    5. Let The Records Play
    6. Yellow Moon
    7. Mind Your Manners
    8. Lightning Bolt
    9. Sirens
    10. Sleeping By Myself
    11. Swallowed Whole
    12. Future Days

    I cannot seem to get MFS out of my head. And I think Pendulum is a masterpiece. I was hoping there would be stuff like that on this album. I'm so happy it didn't disappoint :D

    Bring on Fridayyyyyyy :mrgreen:
    Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue!

    Yellow moon has such dark imagery, but to an upbeat tune. Love it.

    For those down on Swallowed Whole, give it time. I didnt care at all about that song weeks ago, now I think its great.

    Too soon for an accurate personal ranking, but I love:

    Mind Your Manners and Sirens -- two great singles

    Swallowed Whole. Love it.

    Getaway is terrific.

    Pendulum has a Mad Season vibe that I really dig.

    Infallible and Lightning Bolt sounded pretty sweet, too.

    When you really like 5-7 songs on an album it usually means its a winner. Very pleased and can't wait to hear some of these songs live starting next Wednesday. :D

    About 5 times through now, still figuring out my order. Really like several songs but a couple just aren't doing it for me.. And Sleeping by Myself doesn't belong on this album at all, not sure if Brendan convinced them do that one or what but would have loved to hear another song they were working on rather than that one. Can't wait to hear more of these live this weekend!

    Rock on!:
    Getaway
    Lightning Bolt
    Infallible
    Mind Your Manners
    Let the Records Play
    Swallowed Whole

    Pretty Good:
    My Father's Son
    Sirens

    :? Get this off my PJ album and have BoB make an Ed solo album:
    Future Days

    Not my cup of tea:
    Yellow Moon
    Pendulum

    My first impression:

    2. Getaway
    3. MYM
    4. My Father's son
    5. Swallowed Whole
    6. Lightning Bolt
    7. Infallible
    8. Yellow Moon
    9. Let The Records Play
    10. Sleeping By Myself (I liked it, but it should be a B-Side or 10C Holiday single)
    11. Sirens
    12. Future Days

    I need to listen it more.
    Let's say knowledge is a tree, yeah.
    It's growing up just like me.

    this is tough and ever changing....but after about 10 listens now

    1 - infallible, swallowed whole, sirens, yellow moon
    2 - pendulum, let the records play, my fathers son, future days, lightning bolt
    3 - mind your manners, sleeping by myself, getaway

    these are just tiers, nothing getting skipped, i'll listen in bunches of 4-5 songs at a time at work.

    i know everyone loves it, but getaway hasn't stuck with me yet. reminds me kind of unemployable at this point.

    think yellow moon would be a good opener, how it builds and with some great mike parts.

    it's early, but all in all i am liking this record a lot so far. like i said, no skips.

    Hate it as much as you want but Sleeping By Myself is utterly amazing. Great band version. It's one of the strongest tracks on the album.

    The only song i'm not feeling at the moment is Let The Records Play.

    2. Getaway
    3. Sirens

    To early to rank but the ones on the top of the list for me are

    Getaway, MYM, My Fathers Son, Sirens, Infallible, Pendulum, Yellow Moon

    7 absolute corkers on the album for me, and loving the rest of them too. What a great album.

    "Infallible" is far and away the best of the bunch and possibly their best song (on an album) since "Nothing as it Seems."

    Loving these:
    - Getaway
    - Mind Your Manners
    - Sirens
    - My Father's Son
    - Pendulum
    - Lightning Bolt

    Have potential:
    - Yellow Moon
    - Swallowed Whole
    - Let the Records Play

    Not my cup of tea:
    - Sleeping by Myself
    - Future Days

    Another habit says it's in love with you
    Another habit says its long overdue
    Another habit like an unwanted friend
    I'm so happy with my righteous self
