Ranking SOE (about 1/3 of it)

The friendliest place on the web for anyone that follows U2.
If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
Not sure about ranking them, but here's how I feel in a nutshell:

Hits: Blackout, The Best Thing, Little Things
Misses: Get Out of Your Own Way, American Soul

Not bad so far, and about what I expect from a new U2 album. I hope there will be at least one song that blows me away like The Troubles or Crystal Ballroom from SOI. Haven't heard anything like that from SOE yet.
 
Blackout: 8 (Fun rock; not inventive, but a little outside the U2 comfort zone)
Little Things: 8 (need to experience the album version to give a proper rating)
Best Thing: 5.5 (Got some good verse lyrics and the Edge sings; otherwise a snore-fest. Kygo brought it to life, but we're not here to rate that version)
Get Out: 2 (Don't hate it aside from the intro, but it has nothing redeemable about it.)

Haven't heard American Soul yet.
 
At this moment:

Get out of your own way: 8
Blackout: 8
Best Thing: 7.5
American Soul: 6.5
 
Get out of your own way: 6/10
Blackout: 6.5/10
Best Thing: 6/10
American Soul: 3/10
little things : 2/10
