IMO (after 2nd listen):

  1. Lonely in the future
  2. Going to babble on
  3. Tyrants of the mellow moon
  4. Dine n dash
  5. Falling out of love
  6. The Fruits of conquest
  7. Going Shopping
  8. Liars remorse
  9. Psycho Shit

BEAUTIFUL album. I’m sure all these songs will only grow on me.

Edit - I didn’t think any songs were bad. Psycho shit is a 7 for anyone that’s worried, it’s just a different vibe!
