I've been trying to choose a few favorites since my first listen of the full album, and about a dozen listens later my list looks like this:

The Valley
Smarter
Watch It Die
Sad
Oxygen Mask
Better Love
I Wish
Kind
Mr. Moon
Please
Ambulance

This album is as close to perfect as I've heard in the last decade.

Hard to pull out a song as a favorite now that I've heard the album a few times- I find it very nicely coherent as a whole. There are some songs I would probably like a lot more than others taken out of context, but when you play the whole album through it just flows very nicely.

There is more I'd comment on from the thread, but .... out of time,.

I Wish & Watch It Die would have to be my favorites. At times I'm a little tired of hearing Ambulance & The Valley though.

Just looked at they lyrics of Sad, realized they were about Haley Williams, and automatically increased my respect for that song.

I Wish is very Sixpence.

And I honestly can't pick a favorite track on an album until I've listened to it close to 10 times. So I'll get back to you guys. But I will say the album has a lot of pleasant melodic twists I was not expecting sprinkled throughout.

I've gotta say, "Oxygen Mask" and "Better Love" get me with their lyrics. But I also like "Watch it Die" and "I Wish" and "Mr.Moon"...so in the end, I'd say those are all my favorites.

My least favorite might be "Please"...I'm not sure the halting, jerking style of the song is to my liking. But by least favorite I mean I still like it...just not relative to the other songs.

Streamed it twice (a day apart) and haven't listened to a note of it sense. Was gonna buy it at the show, but got hobbled with leg injury and didn't make it. Sucks, but one thing came of it above all else, Only one song is repeating in my head, not to say it's better than the rust, just affirming it's reached "Peanut Butter on the Brain" status (thank you AIC for that line).

Better Love.

Ha, when did you change your name, Nora? It's awesome that it's a nickname that I gave you.
