One listen down. I kinda enjoyed this. The thing I didn't ... was how redundant this was. Like I couldn't tell you which song was which, for the most part. A good way to make songs stand out is to balance out the rockers with some ballads. Instead, this is a record where every song reeks of its time, with no variety. Not even the "Boys of Summer" cover feels like it's faithful enough to the original to create the deviance the album needed. Don Henley did not approve of the butchering of that iconic lyric, did he?

I can see why FoolFantastic didn't want to rank this. It's not his cup of tea so hearing the same three songs five times apiece is going to annoy the crap out of him - no differently than things like System of a Down or Mos Def grating me, since those aren't my thing. But, for me, this was more along the lines of Black Marble or Opeth in how difficult it is to rank the tracks despite still enjoying this for what it is. If I don't participate, it will solely be because I couldn't feasibly puzzle together a proper ranking. I have nothing going on the next two days but starting Saturday I'm gonna be busy AF so... I'll try to get it done Friday.
