In terms of individual tracks I adore "Living With The Ghost", "Devil's In The Temple" (hell yeah), "All Hail the King" and "Scars On This Guitar". "Come On Up To Our House" is great as well as is the remix of "We Don't Run". Now for tracks that I don't like "Roller Coaster" is definitely on the top of that list. The verse melody is too similar to Imagine Dragons' "Demons" for my liking while the chorus melody reminds me of a Finnish children's song which is an association I don't appreciate either. I do enjoy the "it's a roller coaster..." part. But the associations to the other songs in addition to Jon's vocals in the chorus kill it for me so it's a song I skip. Other than that there aren't songs I feel like skipping although Reunion is rather boring. New Year's Day and God Bless This Mess are fun but very uninteresting (I like the lyrics on the latter). Other songs I enjoy more or less.



All in all I was pleasantly surprised by the album!



By the way (I haven't been following the discussion too closely), is anyone else reminded of Every Road Leads Home to You when they're listening to the verses of Born Again Tomorrow?
