Track Rankings 2012 - Lost Highway

That's the beauty of ranking the songs - no-one gets exactly what they want, but at least everyone's still happy.

Savvi, thanks for finding this. I was too lazy... Very interesting! I also warmed up quite heavily to WLOL... I knew how I thought the track was SO overrated back then - and as I put it, I just couldn't connect. I still remember the moment when it clicked between me and the song, lol.

What are the 2 lazy songs in your opinion? I would say most of them are lazy in a way as they sound like demos or unfinished ideas, they could've done so much more with it. The laziest is probably "Summertime".

I've tried to listen to the album as whole, but I can't. I tried the normal order and even the order accoriding to the votes. I've never made it to the end. It is such a bad album. For example, I wouldn't dislike Till We Ain't Strangers Anymore if there wasn't Sext Next To and One Step Closer. I mean, if TWASA was the only sound with that feel on a normal album, I'd maybe appreciate it. The same goes for Everybody's Broken - I love the lyrics, the music average but so is The Last Night etc etc. I Love This Town is a clone of Who Says and Lost Highway. I can pick a half of the album, which, when completed with other half of different songs, could be quite good.

On the other hand, I can't live with the fact that a rock band, former hair metal band, even considered doing an album with country elements. Never. I love rock'n'roll!

I'm glad we got the Top 4 right...lol.

Savvi, again I appreciated your effort and especially your analysis. These album rankings are hands down the most enjoyable threads since the tour ended. So... what's next?

Also, I agree that I wish The Last Night had scored higher and LH lower... but oh well. I don't care much for the verses for the Last Night but I think the chorus more than makes up for it. Whereas all I find appealing in LH is the bridge.

It is also humbling to know that no one shares my appreciation for Seat Next to You. I think it is just overproduced. If it was stripped down to an acoustic, piano, violin and/or cello, and all male harmony, I think most would see the beauty in the song. The lyric and theme are almost typical for a country song, but at the same time they are sooo good. Oh well, maybe in a couple years it will score higher.

Savvi marvellous job once again.

Thanks Savvi

you are bot alone there, for me Seat Next To You is a very good song! And it should have made it higher, it has an unique vibe and feelings.

BTW thank you very much Savvi!!
