YTBTAM closely followed by GOOYOW

If they had replaced one of these songs.....in particular YTBTAM......with Book Of Your Heart......well who knows.

SOE reminds me of NLOTH. The three song stretches of Crazy, GOYB and SUC & YTBTAM, GOOYOW and American Soul are all very weak.

However, the other songs on SOE are much better than most of the rest of NLOTH.

I quite like The Showman, Tafkab....not at first but its growing on me.

Love is bigger than anything in it's way

It's not a bad song. It's just OK.

I like it. I don't see the wild honey comparisons at all.
Well, They're both acoustic.....

Chalk and cheese to me.

I went with Best Thing. It isn't awful but just a bit bored with it. Given it has been out for a while and the other songs are fresher, I might change my mind in due course. I struggle with the 3 songs of Summer of Love, Red Flag Day and Showman although Showman not as bad.

I think Love Is Bigger is the weak link for me.  It's not a bad song, but it needs a little something more. It's a little bland.

The Showman is very Elvis Costello + the Attractions to me, and I fucking love it.

Was just listening to the new Noel Gallagher album and I'm surprised by this. Someone else compared "The Showman" to "Jessie's Girl", which I thought was a crazy comparison until I heard "The Showman" with its similar guitar. It's not a terrible song, it's just not as good as 80% of the rest of the album.

I'm loving Showman now, and I'm hearing more Dylan's The Hurricane in the cadence of the verses. Opening riff got me singing Jessie's Girl though haha.
