Achtung Ya'll
War Child
I am growing to really really like this album, but I felt like the track listing was a little uninspired and didn't flow as well.
Now, obviously this is a very opinionated task, but here's what I felt is the ideal track order.
1. Love is All We Have Left
2. Book of Your Heart
3. Get Out of Your Own Way
4. American Soul
5. Red Flag Day
6. The Showman
7. Little Things..
8. Summer of Love
9. Landlady
10. 13
11. Lights of Home - String Version
12. The Blackout
This uses two tracks from the deluxe edition and removes two weak tracks. "You're the best thing..." just is not a good song. "Love is Bigger..." isn't terrible necessarily but feels a bit unnecessary (redundant?) on this album.
I fee like the songs flow into each other better in this listing. And I like ending with a bang on The Blackout.
Here's a Spotify playlist link if someone wants to check it out: https://open.spotify.com/user/kilowattson/playlist/7fvt3dkBSB1SPausQCuMuU
Next steps would be to actually rip and mix the tracks together into one long track and see how well that works.
