ONE love, blood, life
This is almost perfectly how I see it after a similar number of listens.
I also have Book of Your Heart in the top category. I’m puzzled by its omission from the album proper.
Yeah I agree - love it.

Landlady is gonna outlast all these.
I'm holding out until I have the CD, but I find these early rankings and ratings refreshing. It's interesting though because the perfect 10 rating seems to be elusive on almost everyone's list. I usually find that even my least favorite U2 albums at least have one or two 10s.

- As good as the songs are, I think this is the worst tracklisting of any of their 2000s albums. Yes- including Bomb. I'll play around and find an order I think works, but it certainly isn't this.
My turn:
1 - Lights of Home
2 - The Little Things
3 - Red Flag Day / Showman( Tie)
5- You're The Best Thing
6 - Summer of Love
7 - The Blackout
8 - Landlady
9 - American Soul
10 - Get Out of Your Own Way
11 - Love is All We Have Left
12 - Love is Bigger than Anything
13 - 13*
*The only skipper in my book. Maybe it will grow, but the Song for Someone chorus ruined for me.
On first listen i thought it was a great B-side compilation album, but after maybe 4 listens i think it's a good album, it continues the freshness and confidence they regained on SOI. Better than No Line already, and probably better than Bomb.
SOI maybe its not a classic but it has a cohesiveness that's absent on ATYCLB, SOE goes on with that trend but with more remarkable tunes. Does it have a Beautiful Day or Stuck in a moment in it? I am not sure.
Well only time will tell if its as good as it sounds now.
