Honey - 7.8 - great sampling. good dance music

South Side - 6.0 - basic lyrics - spoken word parts sound good, if a little disjointed. gets better throughout
Rushing - 6.8 - doesn't accomplish being dance music - it's like a lo-fi song.
Bodyrock - 4.7 - usually good at making it not seem repetitive. not here. ugh
Natural Blues - 7.2- good, but this is where moby's algorithm with making music is apparent to me.

Down Slow - 6.7 - sounds fine. a bit boring.
If Things Were Perfect - 8.9 - awesome lyrics.

Epitaph (Including "March for No Reason" and "Tomorrow and Tomorrow") - 9.6 - amazing. crescendo? starting drum thing? damn
Moonchild (Including "The Dream" and "The Illusion") - 8.5 - I really like eveything that I hear. but I think it's a bit long. if this song is 8 minutes it is a 95.
The Court of the Crimson King (Including "The Return of the Fire Witch" and "The Dance of the Puppets") - 9.7 - first "crimson king" is an amazing experience.

Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon - 8.4 - fun. silly. whimsical. music box music.
I'm In Love With My Car - 6.8 - feels more serious. shouldn't be.

'39 - 8.3 - first real song since the first one.
Sweet Lady - 7.6 - nice guitar solo. boring lyrics
Seaside Rendezvous - 8.5 - sounds ragtimey. similar to LOASA, over-hapy and a bit corny but it doesn't take itself to seriously like IILWMC.
The Prophet's Song - 7.7 - could've done without the a capella serenade.
Love Of My Life - 8.8 - shades of Bohemian Rhapsody present here with the piano and vocals.
Good Company - 8.0 - like the ukulele, not structure. Too peppy.

Run Run Run - 8.8 - the theme clashes with the instrumental and almost cliche-sounding vocals.
All Tomorrow's Parties - 8.4- unfortunately felt pretty drony

The Wild Cats of Kilkenny - 7.4 - instrumental. Not much to say.
I'm A Man You Don't Meet Every Day - 7.3 - like the new female vocalist.
5. A Pair of Brown Eyes - 8.3 - like the first one, more of a drinking song than the rest. I like it.
Sally MacLennane - 8.4 - bit too fast.
A Pistol for Paddy Garcia - 8.1 - instrumental, but fire.
Dirty Old Town - 6.6 - too slow. I guess I'm picky. Jesse James - 7.8 - Irish country music.

1. Cannibal Resource - 4.8 - this sounds terrible. innovation isn't always good.
2. Temecula Sunrise - 5.2 - imagine if jazz had none of the pretext.
3. The Bride - 5.6 - the end of this song is listenable.
4. Stillness Is the Move - 8.3 - actually creative and fun. still not my favorite but I can at least understand people liking this.
5. Two Doves - 8.2 - Again, this is great, creative indie pop. I don't know why they decided to start with something so terrible.
6. Useful Chamber - 8.5 - a bit too long, I see the vision. "Bitte Orca" part goes hard
7. No Intention - 7.4 - feels more standard. not as experimental as previous three good songs.
8. Remade Horizon - 8.8 - holy shit, great song.

1. These Important Years - 7.1 - feels like it should be in the background of a high-school coming of age story.
2. Charity, Chastity, Prudence, and Hope - 6.2 - nothing special, and very repetitive.
3. Standing in the Rain - 7.6 - great sound effects and the lyrics are more manageable on this track
4. Back from Somewhere - 6.8 - better vocals, but the mix feels muddy. lyrics are good.
5. Ice Cold ice - 8.5 - love the vocals. love the guitar.
6. You're a Soldier - 5.3 - boring. repetitive. forgettable.
7. Could You Be the One? - 8.4 - like the instrumentation and lyricism on this one.
8. Too Much Spice - 5.0 - this sounds like every song ever. boring and absolutely no innovation.
9. Friend, You've Got to Fall - 7.7 - great lyrics. besides that, sound like everything else on this album.
10. Visionary - 6.1 - at least this one is distinct. Not necessarily good, but distinct.
11. She Floated Away - 7.6 - sounds weirdly folky. Not sure how I feel about it yet, but so far it feels like a good change, and drums are good.
12. Bed of Nails - 9.0 - that guitar hook is awesome. lyrics are also great; wish the other vocalist sung them.
13. Tell You Why Tomorrow - 8.8 - these last two songs have gone away from how poppy the beginning of the album sounded, and have been much punkier. love it.
14. It's Not Peculiar - 8.0 - not a fan of the vocals. love the guitar on this, though.
15. Actual Condition - 7.2 - short and uninspiring pop punk
16. No Reservations - 7.6 - sounds like the last song. mix is ugly, too. Like the ending.
17. Turn It Around - 8.1 - its interesting. this album has had three sounds so far, and this is now a new one. cool.
18. She's a Woman (And Now He Is a Man) - 7.9 - don't hate it, despite the strange lyrics.
19. Up in the Air - 8.6 - love the lyrics, and the sound.

6. Monster - 9.6 - one of the best verses I've ever head. Jay-Z and Nicki were also awesome.
7. So Appalled - 9.0 - chorus doesn't hit as hard on this one. Jay-Z and CyHi still do, and the song is still great.
8. Devil In A New Dress - 10 - Incredible production, even more so on this song. Some of his best flow ever. Guitar solo also goes crazy.
9. Runaway - 10 - Piano is iconic, and the lyrics on this are incredible and some of the most emotional on one of his songs.
10. Hell Of A Life - 8.8 - great beat. doesn't stand to other songs on this album lyrically.
11. Blame Game - 8.9 - love John Legend in this. This is Ye's weakest song on the album though. Beat is crazy good.
12. Lost In The World - 9.2 - with five people singing at once, the amazing production doesn't even make it sound too busy.

The Wall
Pink Floyd
Overall, It's a great experience more than it is a collection of individual great songs. I'd have to say that Wish You Were Here was better able to find the happy medium between valuing the experience (like The Wall) and individual tracks (like DSOTM). Still incredible, but doesn't lend well for casual listening outside of a few huge hits.
