John Squire "Liam had some great ideas for the arrangements of those songs. The ideas for the keyboard parts are also his. He was the one who insisted on this. He would pitch ideas to Greg and he would execute. Liam's ideas took the songs in a completely different direction than in the beginning. Raise Your Hands for example was initially relaxed like Mother's Nature Song but thanks to the ideas proposed by Liam the song changed its groove and became a great song. Liam says he only put the vocals on it but that's not the case. He put a lot of thought into the arrangements!" (Interview by Virgin Radio Italia)

As I suspected, Liam didn't just sing the songs but helped shape them. He's just too shy to say it personally.

Wow. I liked it a lot more than I thought I would. I didn’t think it would be poor but I didn’t have much expectation of it either. The first song, “raise your hands” is okay, doesn’t do much for me. I knew what kind of song “mars to Liverpool” was but I didn’t expect to like it as much as I did. Instant hit. “One day at a time” features the best line of the album (“you should have fucked me when you had the chance”) but “I’m a wheel” is like a proper Dr Feelgood bluesy riff rocker.

Same with “make it up as you go along” and “you’re not the only one.” Also liked how well “mother natures song” closed the album.

Even the songs I didn’t expect much out if due to their terrible titles (“love you forever”, “I’m bored”) were actually not bad at all. Can’t wait to listen again!!

Favourites:
I’m a wheel
Make it up as you go along
You’re not the only one
Mars to Liverpool

Yes, I did it on purpose because if someone liked them all, they could select them.

Where is the none option

I quite agree with the results but I can't understand how a song like "Love you Forever" is among the lowest ratings in this ranking. It's a better song than Make It Up As You Go Along and You're Not The Only One.

By a mile

Mother Nature Song, Make It Up and Mars to Liverpool because they remind me of bands like Big Star or Fountains of Wayne. Bands that can put a smile on your face, with apparently simple but still smart melodies. That's priceless. Not many artist can do that.

But i really like the heavier stuff like Just another Rainbow or I'm a Wheel.

There's really not a "bad" song on this record, but there is a few fillers.

one day at a time isn’t the best song on album but cmon - give it more love. play 2:30-3:00 over a few times on good speakers and then vote for it.

or you will just realize a year out i was right

Pretty correct results so far in my opinion. I can get behind that.
Best to worst ranked (according to you all):


1. Mars to Liverpool
2. I’m a wheel
3. You’re not the only one
4. Raise your hands
5. Just another rainbow
6. Mother Nature’s song
7. I’m so bored
8. Love you forever
9. Make it up as you go along
10. One day at a time

Don't mind Raise Your Hands and Mars to Liverpool, though they're bang average at absolute best.

The rest are absolutely diabolical.

I guess they are done with the singles for this album
