I’ve divided my rankings into thirds, just because it makes sense to do so. Do what you will.
I think this is a firm standing although as time goes on, some will jostle. The final third in the ranking is a real let down, but the rest are class.
Polarizing album as far favorite and worst tracks go - thread should spark interesting discussions….
1. Too Good for Giving Up
2. Diamond in the Dark
3. Better Days
4. Moscow Rules
5. The Joker
——
6. Everything’s Electric
7. World’s In Need
8. I’m Free
9. C’mon You Know
10. More Power
——
11. Don’t Go Half Way
12. Oh Sweet Children
13. Wave
14. It Was Not Meant To Be

I can't rank by number because decisions are hard, but here they are by groups.
My favorites:
- Better Days
- The Joker
- Diamond in the Dark
- World's in Need
I enjoy a lot
- Wave
- C'mon You Know
- Moscow Rules
- I'm Free
- Don't Go Halfway
I enjoy occasionally
- More Power
- Oh Sweet Children
- Everything's Electric (I loved this when it came out, I think I'm just burned out on it right now)
I'd happily never listen to again
- It Was Not Meant to Be
- Too Good For Giving Up

It's mental the polarizing rankings... Although I think that actually points to a solid album.
We're all usually in basic agreement with the best and worst tracks. Except for Magic Pie... I fucking love Magic Pie.
For real, though... interesting how noone has the exact same order of songs.

I like 'Everything Electric', 'Better Days', 'More Power' and 'Moscow rules'. Most of the others don't do much for me: not bad, not great.

Wow.
Too Good For Giving Up as the most polarizing. Either you love it or you hate it - no middle ground.
Kind of a surprised by this, being my favorite off the album. I can’t get enough of it… it’s exactly how Let There Be Love should have sounded.

More power & Diamond in the dark are the best consecutive couple of songs in a LG album, even better to me than WOG/Bold & One of us/Once.

"One of Us" has booked for us to go on a romantic skiing trip and I have a feeling there'll be a ring in the chocolate mousse. |

Can't really do this yet personally, maybe because I feel it's quite a consistent album.

I can’t get enough of it… it’s exactly how Let There Be Love should have sounded. let there be love, compared to too good for giving up, is a bloody masterpiece. let there be love, put into perspective and compared to the oasis catalogue, is fucking trash. one of the worst oasis songs ever. |

Right I love this album and don't hate or think anything is bad on it. However there are songs which I don't like as much as others, but I'll do this in no particular order.
Favourites
More Power
Diamond In The Dark
Come On You Know
It Was Not Meant To Be (don't get the hate for this one)
Everything's Electric
World's In Need
Moscow Rules
I'm Free (OK I wasn't that mad on it when the album first came out but it's grown on me a lot)
Better Days
Wave
I do like the following tracks but they're not my favourites on the album
Too Good To Give Up (the live version is much better)
Oh Sweet Children
The Joker
