Early song rankings

[CosmoKramer]

Songs 5 though 8 on my list can fluctuate(my tier 2 if you will and some might creep into my top tier).I can see The Troubles moving up the list as I listen to it more but the sound in the iTunes version gets a bit "muffled" here and there and I'm hoping the physical version is clearer.

1-Every Breaking Wave
2-The Miracle
3-California
4-Volcano
5-This is where you can reach me now
6-Sleep Like a Baby Tonight
7-Iris
8-Song for Someone
9-Raised by Wolves
10- The Troubles
11-Cedarwood Road

California is the big gainer this week. Maybe it's the gorgeous sunny dry weather we're having on the east coast.

 

[corianderstem]

After giving it a week's rest, I listened to it yesterday. Good road trip record. Raised By Wolves has dropped a bit in my estimation, and The Miracle is better than I initially thought. Iris has dropped a bit as well - it's a bit too slick.

Song For Someone, however ... a firm eh.

1. The Troubles
2. California
3. Every Breaking Wave
4. Cedarwood Road
5. The Miracle
6. Sleep Like a Baby Tonight
7. Iris
8. Volcano
9. Raised By Wolves
10. This Is Where You Can Reach Me Now
11. Song For Someone

 

[purpleoscar]

Fuck this is so hard for me. The lyrics and their meaning have a huge impact:

First impressions:

1. Raised by wolves
2. This is where you can reach me
3. Every breaking wave
4. The Troubles
5. Sleep like a baby tonight
6. Iris (Hold Me Close)
7. Volcano
8. California (There is no end to love)
9. Song for someone
10. Cedarwood road
11. The Miracle (Of Joey Ramone)

But I have to remember I've listened to Achtung Baby 1000's of times and what mood you are in will tell what song is a favorite at that time.

Now that I listened to it 20 times there are lots of changes:

The Troubles
This is where you can reach me now
Every breaking wave
California (there is no end to love)
Iris (hold me close)
Cedarwood road
Raised by wolves
Song for someone
Sleep like a baby tonight
The Miracle (of Joey Ramone)
Volcano

 

[purpleoscar]

Everything is the same. TIWYCRMN and Cedarwood Road are close.

Every breaking wave
The Troubles
Sleep like a baby tonight
Iris (hold me close)
Raised by wolves
This is where you can reach me now
Cedarwood road
Volcano
California
The Miracle (of Joey Ramone)
Song for someone


Cedarwood Road is growing for me. I love the solo and the glockenspiel/xylophone whatever. I'm drunk on Belgian beer.

Everything is still the same.

Undecided on the rankings for the songs in the 8-11 category. Depends on how I feel whenever I give them a listen, and I think it will remain like that.

Why is Song For Someone the least liked song on the album? I've heard people say it's forgettable or nothing interesting about it. And since there's no bad songs it just gets lost. I think it's a great song. I don't know why it's always last on everyone's list.

It's not. It's right in the middle for me, and I quite like it. Doesn't have a single thing that bothers me, unlike a good 4 other songs that I like, and one that I don't.

I must say, I really like the whole album, and that this list was very hard to make. Cedarwood Road took the longest to connect with me, but I really love it now.

 

[dan_smee]

I can't rank anymore. It fluctuates so much, and after I got down to 5 I feel it isn't fair to rank any track on the album lower than 5. Great album.

It's a great problem to have. Volcano is at the bottom for me but I still like it.

It would be an all time great song if it weren't for that cheesy ass repetitive guitar solo that's almost the same as in the Crazy Tonight song which I despise. Edge could have come up with something more imaginative than that. Is it just me?

And I was just asking in another part of the forum a few days ago - I am baffled that some people have it so high. Like, I do not understand what I am missing. Opinions, man. Gotta love 'em.

Song For Someone is probably my favorite song off the album at the moment. I absolutely love the chorus and the guitar solo and the way it builds up. Absolutely classic U2 song in my opinion.

Alright, I'll try. I give it another two weeks or so before my opinion is pretty solid.

1. Raised by Wolves
2. California
3. The Troubles
4. Sleep Like a Baby Tonight
5. Song for Someone
6. This is Where you Can Reach Me Now
7. Every Breaking Wave
8. Volcano
9. The Miracle
10. Cedarwood Road
11. Iris

I can really only vouch for the top four though. The rest kinda fluctuate for me. But I do definitely know that Iris is at the bottom, for me. 8, 9, and 10 are pretty much a three-way tie. 5, 6, and 7 are also about on par with each other.
