GNFPWLBN track ranking

14. Interlude (Milo) (Track #12)
Score: 33 (Average Rank: 12/14)
Biggest Fan(s): Raetsel_Lapin (#6)
Biggest Detractor(s): Giggsalot, Johnbobb, Seanchan, VeryInsane (#14)

ZaziGuado: I mean, it's pleasant enough but it feels more like an intro to Blame It On the Tetons than its own track, which isn't a bad thing to be.

13. Dance Hall (Track #7)
Score: 35 (Average Rank: 11.91/14)
Biggest Fan(s): Seanchan (#3)
Biggest Detractor(s): Raetsel_Lapin, FoolFantastic, neonreaper, HBJDubs, Great_Paul (#14)

ZaziGuado: catchy and chaotic, though I kinda wish it was a little shorter to just concentrate it more.

12. This Devil's Workday (Track #9)
Score: 55 (Average Rank: 10.55/14)
Biggest Fan(s): Johnbobb (#1)
Biggest Detractor(s): ZaziGuado (#14)

ZaziGuado: gosh I've always read this as The Devil's Workday and didn't realize it was this until today. doesn't make much of a difference but still an interesting revelation almost 20 years later. anyways this doesn't do it for me, but it doesn't overstay its welcome so it's okay.

11. Satin in a Coffin (Track #11)
Score: 70 (Average Rank: 8.64/14)
Biggest Fan(s): Johnbobb, neonreaper, ChichiriMuyo (#5)
Biggest Detractor(s): ZaziGuado (#12)

ZaziGuado: this feels like the most modest mouse song on the album. I don't know what I mean by that, but it feels right. I definitely tend to favor their more pop-friendly stuff, but I can flirt with this weirdness.

9 (tie). Black Cadillacs (Track #14)
Score: 73 (Average Rank: 8.36/14)
Biggest Fan(s): Raetsel_Lapin, Giggsalot (#4)
Biggest Detractor(s): VeryInsane (#13)

ZaziGuado: "it's true we named our children after towns that we've never been to" is a lyric that I always remember vividly because I have a slightly irrational disgust for bullshit names. I also greatly enjoy that sitcom opening-sounding piano chime that randomly pops in.

9 (tie). The Good Times Are Killing Me (Track #16)
Score: 73 (Average Rank: 8.36/14)
Biggest Fan(s): neonreaper, ChichiriMuyo (#4)
Biggest Detractor(s): Johnbobb (#13)

ZaziGuado: I find this a fun, goofy ending to fun, goofy album. really enjoy the very smooth, prominent bassline.

8. One Chance (Track #15)
Score: 79 (Average Rank: 7.91/14)
Biggest Fan(s): Raetsel_Lapin (#3)
Biggest Detractor(s): Johnbobb (#12)

ZaziGuado: this song is so weird after being inundated with cynicism, hopelessness, and just a general malaise up to this point. to be met with a song about coping with the loss of everything is an odd, but not unwelcome, turn this late into the album. I appreciate it.

7. Bury Me With It (Track #6)
Score: 89 (Average Rank: 7.27/14)
Biggest Fan(s): Raetsel_Lapin (#1)
Biggest Detractor(s): neonreaper (#11)

ZaziGuado: always been a little off-putting, but I've learned to appreciate the exasperated pleas. plus they say the name of the album!

6. Bukowski (Track #8)
Score: 96 (Average Rank: 6.45/14)
Biggest Fan(s): Giggsalot, VeryInsane (#3)
Biggest Detractor(s): Raetsel_Lapin, Seanchan (#10)

ZaziGuado: such great banjo action here. I enjoy every time they slow the beat down and then pick it back up.

5. Blame It on the Tetons (Track #13)
Score: 107 (Average Rank: 5.73/14)
Biggest Fan(s): ZaziGuado, ChichiriMuyo (#2)
Biggest Detractor(s): Seanchan (#13)

ZaziGuado: this song is so damn chill. I love that fiddle and piano. the continuation after the false ending is interesting but not unwelcome. I've never actually taken the time to digest the lyrics, but I think I'd enjoy this song even more if I did.

4. Ocean Breathes Salty (Track #4)
Score: 110 (Average Rank: 5.64/14)
Biggest Fan(s): VeryInsane (#1)
Biggest Detractor(s): ChichiriMuyo (#10)

ZaziGuado: some fun lyrics in this one like "you missed when time and life shook hands and said goodbye" and the abrubt ending with "for your sake I hope heaven and hell are really there but I wouldn't hold my breath."

3. The View (Track #10)
Score: 115 (Average Rank: 5.36/14)
Biggest Fan(s): Great_Paul (#1)
Biggest Detractor(s): neonreaper (#10)

ZaziGuado: this song is top tier on the album to me, but I always waver on whether it's near the top or bottom of that tier. I love that warble in the chorus and some of the background vocal eccentrics.

2. The World at Large (Track #2)
Score: 143 (Average Rank: 3.82/14)
Biggest Fan(s): Giggsalot, neonreaper, ZaziGuado (#1)
Biggest Detractor(s): ChichiriMuyo (#14)

ZaziGuado: beautifully bittersweet track which serves as a very interesting tone setter for the album. also really appreciate the way it leads into Float On.

1. Float On (Track #3)
Score: 154 (Average Rank: 3/14)
Biggest Fan(s): FoolFantastic, HBJDubs, ChichiriMuyo, Seanchan (#1)
Biggest Detractor(s): Raetsel_Lapin (#11)

ZaziGuado: iconic riff. I remember being so excited when I saw this reach the top of a weekly ranking show on a music channel.
