I think it will change from day to day; but after the few first listenings it looks something like this:

1. Trapper Man
2. Heavy Up (Oh yess!  ;D)
3. One Song at a Time
4. Just a Boy Away from Home
5. Back on the Dance Floor

This is my current top 5:

1 - One Song At A Time
2 - Trapper Man
3 - Nobody's Child
4 - My Bacon Roll
5 - Drover's Road

You can add Matchstick Man as sixth choice, all other songs are skippers for me (I actually don't hear bonus tracks).

Ok I try again ...

My Bacon Roll
Drover's Road
Every Heart In The Room
One Song At A Time
Don't Suck Me In


Nobody Does That
Matchstick Man so far as you recognize it
Heavy Up

LE

Still agree to my list.  ;D

I am very pleased with this album over all. Maybe it has to do with having very low expecatins this time.
There are very good songs on it, the two first released tracks are among the weakest. A very good and fresh vibe. The band really shines on this. Guy's influence is 90% right on spot. Which artist today (on this level and of this age) comes up which such a great variety of phantastic played music?

Something happened. He is more easy and more free in some decision. Is if in "so what?" The long wait was worth this album.

I put it on from track 7 and listen through to the very last track. Pale Imitation is by the way also very very interesting and a song that appeals very much to me.

So does that mean that six songs are skippers for you, including the lovely "When You Leave" ?

You can say so, yes. Although just this morning I listened to it again and started to detect it's beauty  ;)

The fact that I am findiong a top 5 so hard is a testament to what a great record MK has made.

At the moment, I would go with:

1. One Song At A Time
2. Trapper Man
3. Matchstick Man
4. Drover's Road
5. Floating Away

In truth - the only songs I wouldn't consider for this are: Dancefloor; GOYS; Nobody Does That; Nobody's Child; and Every Heart in the Room. So at the moment I have 14 out of 19 songs competing for a top 5.

Ok - I like Rear View Mirror but it isn't a contender for the Top 5.

If we can include any of the 19 songs - then Sky and Water would be a contender - and probably be in my Top 5 - it is right up my street! If anyone gets that in better quality a DM would be very greatly received!

Not super-impressed with the album so far, seems to be on par with Tracker. Some songs are bound to grow on me though. As of now my top five are:

Nobodys child
Drovers road
When you leave
One song at a time
Matchstick man

If anyone has a link to hear the bonus tracks (Don't Suck Me In, Sky And Water, Pale Imitation?) that would be very welcome. :)

This is near impossible but i'll give it a go!

1) Trapper Man
2) One Song At A Time
3) Drovers Road
4) Good On You Son
5) Back On The Dance Floor

This changes depending on the time of day  ;D

It‘s a beautiful album and, as others said, almost impossible to choose a top 5. Who would have thought that after an album like tracker we get an album which has a huge diversity of styles and - what I like very much- is full of guitar solos!

-One song at a time
-drovers road
-when you leave
-nobodys child
-back on the dancefloor

no real skipper for me
