    Won't Tell is my current favourite, and an absolute no-brainer for a single, super catchy chorus. I also like Upper Hand and Setting Sun. First impressions I think this is their strongest record in years.
    So far, these are my top three as well. But I would put Upper Hand first.

    Cant put an order yet but these 3 and Stevie are my favs.

    I am sure my order will change over time as I listen to the album more.

    I was kidding of course and people can like what they want but I don’t see the comparison with the two aside from them both being slower.

    Not me.  My favorite song of all time is long road.  Absolutely love release, immortality, and parting ways.  However parachutes is like watching paint dry.

    Waiting For Stevie
    Funny to hear Jeff say that he wouldn't have gotten away with playing his 12-string on studio albums these days, but Watt said "Why? Just play it". Mike also seems to be unleashed and not stifled.

    Watt will have detractors for perhaps production reasons, but he should be praised for encouraging spontaneity and capturing the band's musical instincts which are still firing, based on this record.
    Come to send, not condescend...

    Add Indifference to the convo and that is one hell of an opening to a show. 


    Back to Dark Matter some of the slower tempo songs are among the best this album has to offer. 

    Same goes for the worst it has to offer. Someone slower styles are not all the same and some come off as bit too cheesy for my taste.

    Waiting for Stevie, but the whole album is full of great songs. I'm sure once the dust settles I'll probably have a new favorite every time I listen to it

    Impossible to pick because this is such an unbelievably strong record. Like, at a level I wasn't sure they still had in them 34 years into the band's career. Front to back, this thing is loaded with their best songwriting and playing in years.

    But halfway through Setting Sun, I started ugly crying. So I think that's gotta be the winner for me. The exact song (and album) I needed at this moment in my life. Hit me in a spot where I needed to be hit. Thanks fellas.

    Got To Give,... cool song to crank up, I like it.
    Underrated. In the cinema I thought it rocked. 💪

    Wow, blown away. Best album since Yield. Yes, I said it.  Upper Hand into Waiting For Stevie might be the best 1-2 combo I’ve heard in 20 years. 
     its up there ..lets say 18 years..we had it last time with Come back-Inside job

    I genuinely cant comment on the best one as every time I listen to a song it becomes my favourite.

    But after yet another listen though, man that Scared Of Fear bridge is one of my favourite things

    i cant really choose one to be honest.

    the album is THAT good.

    only one that hasnt clicked yet is react,respond(the chorus is very weird) all other ones are amazing and yes including something special

    Same here.  Upper Hand, Waiting For Stevie and Setting Sun actually took a while to click for me, I know they are getting lots of love from most people.  But finally they clicked today when hearing proper version.

    But React, Respond is yet to click, I'm sure it will one day.
