Rank and Rate: No Doubt - Push & Shove

[bryan1311]

Very early rankings, definitely subject to change (I'll rate them later).

1. Heaven
2. Undercover
3. Push and Shove
4. Gravity
5. Dreaming the Same Dream
6. Settle Down
7. Sparkle
8. Easy (Liking this one a bit more, but I'm not in love with the chorus)
9. One More Summer
10. Looking Hot
11. Undone (Is it just me or is this TOTALLY a country song?!)

But they're all at least B's, in my book.

Ranked:

1) Easy
2) Push and Shove
3) One More Summer
4) Dreaming the Same Dream
5) Looking Hot
6) Settle Down

Seriously, those six are just beyond perfect to me. Ranking them was like ranking children.

7) Heaven
8) Sparkle

Those two are both genuinely awesome as well.

9) Undercover
10) Gravity

Sorry, gonna have to dissent with you and filmy here. They're both totally listenable and would be highlights on a lot of other people's/bands' albums, but here they feel just a bit too lightweight for me. Undercover at least has Tom's great solo, but Gravity just feels a bit *too* close to some other stuff out there right now (seriously, some of those synth lines feel taken out of the Solveig playbook). They're fun, but they lack the power pop chops of the album's best songs.

11) Undone

Yeah, it is sorta a country song. And sadly, it's not very good. But given how much I love the other 10, I really couldn't care any less.

Lol, super shameless self-promotion, but I wrote up a review over at my blog that I barely ever update. It's prolly the best summation of my thoughts on each of the tracks.

Gah. I just love this album so much.

Loved your review, kupo! Have to really hunker down and repeat listen this bitch before I can even attempt to rank it, but "Looking Hot" is just...

Ugh.

[haqyunus]

I am not sure about which is the best, both are great:

Dreaming the same dream (I love the retro 80s anthemic pop, the ending and the start are very good)
One more summer


Settle down (Middle eastern touch and the slow-jam kind of ending adds a lot to the over all 6min epic)
Looking hot
Undercover (Again, love the retro feel)
Undone
Gravity

Things get a little shaky after that:


Heaven
Easy
Sparkle
Push and shove (Disappointing being the title track. Not liking the rap)

[filmy]

1. Undercover
2. Settle Down
3. Looking Hot
4. Dreaming the Same Dream
5. Gravity
6. Heaven
7. Push and Shove
8. Easy
9. One More Summer
10. Sparkle
11. Undone

1-8 I legitimately LOVE.

Currently, my favorite track is Undercover. But, of course, I still need to listen to this more before fully ranking.

[veritas]

1. Undercover
2. Dreaming the Same Dream
3. Looking Hot
4. Heaven
5. Easy
6. Gravity
7. Settle Down
