I love "While The Song Remains The Same", but I'm a guy who still loves "Soldier Boys...", so what do I know.
I'm having a hard time to listen to "The Right Stuff" to the end. Just not for me. But again, I'm a guy who never liked "Alone On The Rope", so what do I know.

Awful and plodding as is the norm with Jeremy Stacey it seems...

Riverman You Know We Can't Go Back The Dying of the Light Ballad of the Mighty Eye While the Song Remains the Same The Right Stuff Girl With the X-ray Eyes Lock All the Doors In the Heat of the Moment The Mexican
That was really difficult. I'll be honest. The only position that is firm is that The Mexican is on the bottom. Really strong album IMO. I've only listened to the album once but that song didn't work for me. I didn't like The Mexican at all after my first listen, but it's starting to grow on me. Still one of the weakest tracks on the album though. I think it'll be great live, those guitar parts sound quite good.

Awful and plodding as is the norm with Jeremy Stacey it seems... I've got to disagree. On NGHFB I'd agree, but I think now it was a producer foul. The drums on Chasing Yesterday are very well played, with lots of jazzy fills and wise rhythms. I'm loving them.

I like the album, but the first one was better (in my humble opinion). That said, the singles are: Lock all the doors, The dying of the light and You know we can't go back! I think this album is a grower... Lock All The Doors The Dying Of The Light You Know We Can't Go Back Riverman Ballad Of The Mighty I In The Heat Of The Moment The Mexican While The Song Remains The Same The Girl With X-Ray Eyes The Right Stuff

The GreatRiverman Dying Of The Light The Right Stuff You Know We Can't Go Back In The Heat Of The Moment Ballad Of The Mighty I The AlrightLock All The Doors The Girl With The X-Ray Eyes The Don't Really CareWhile The Song Remains The Same The Mexican That's how I'd rank them myself, really enjoyable album apart from a couple. Trade You Know We Can't Go Back with While The Song Remains The Same and that's pretty much my two cents.

WTSRTS is the best track on there. Was so excited listening to it the first time. Was surprised from 3:10 where it just unexpectedly starts bubbling and comes to the boil-love it.
That aside, I can hear the greatness of Riverman but it just isn't my thing i think;ITHOTM I've loved since i first heard it but like mentioned above is taken to another level still in the context of the album;TGWTXE I'm sure i will come to love but not quite there yet; LATD and TDOTL brilliant; TRS again not really my bag, kinda reminds me of GOYHHL but definite improvement on that; have more love for TM than most would appear to in here;big fan of YKWCGB (what ever became of the magic can't be right? Because i kept thinking of that title the first couple of listens to this); BOTMI again like ITHOTM seems even better in the context of the album.
Overall 8.5/10 but can envisage it moving to 9 territory after a few more listens
Er i appear to be in the wrong thread so ill rank them too lol
WTSRTS TDOTL Lock All The Doors YKWCGB ITHOTM Ballad Of The Mighty I The Mexican Riverman The Girl With The XRay Eyes The Right Stuff

No real order but my 4 favorites
You Know We Can't Go Back Dying Of The Light Riverman The Girl With The X-Ray Eyes
The runner-ups
Ballad Of The Mighty I In The Heat Of The Moment Lock All The Doors
The ones at the back of the pack
The Mexican The Right Stuff While The Song Remains The Same
Its unfair to compare it to the other post Oasis albums and get swept in the newness and excitement of a new album but I believe its better than the two BE records and better than NGHFB just on production alone. But who knows I might get tired of it in a few weeks.
