Dark Matter Song Ranks

cowboyzeke

My final ranks after listening to the record about 50 times:

1. Wreckage ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🥹 (best chorus and acoustic guitar lick) ( best song in over 10 years)

2. Running ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🤘🏼(best overall energy song without overdoing it like mind your manners and stunning bridge)

3. Won’t Tell ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️(best vocal melody - love the 1980’s rock vibe)

—————————————-

4. Dark Matter ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

5. Upper Hand ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 (sounds like nothing as it seems “lite” - really enjoy the Mike lead throughout) 

6. Scared of Fear ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2

—————————————-

7. Something Special ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (creative groove - wish the band would continue searching for new sounds like this)

8. Got to Give ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ( love the lyrics and sounds like The Who)

9. Setting Sun ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️(They all can’t be Release and The End closers - song belongs on the Into The Wild soundtrack)

—————————————-

10. Waiting For Stevie ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 (Do something more with that U2 outro!)

11. React, Respond ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 (nice guitar/bass interplay - chorus is annoying but the guitar lead up is interesting - the fact this is my last place song says how great this album is, incredible!)
