Yes for sure! The songs that I enjoy, I really love - which is good! :)

I think my biggest issue with this album is that it's so mellow. I don't listen to any of their ballads and those parts during the shows are painfully boring for me. I'm really not a ballad person, I do most of my music listening when I'm at the gym or driving so I prefer things more upbeat and this album is lacking a lot of that for me. I'll do a proper song-by-song review once I'm not on my iPad!

That makes sense.  I like a good mix of upbeat songs and ballads, but while the good uptempos are the ones I tend to get addicted to, the good ballads are the ones that tend to become my long-time favorites.  The quality of the ballads on a BSB album is really what determines how much I like the album.  I tend to favor the ones with lots of good ballads over the ones without.  I love the ballads on this album; some of them are pretty mellow, but with the exception of Try, I don't think they're boring.

That said, there won't be as many songs off this album that make my workout playlist as, say, I'm Taking Off.

I'm a ballad fan too. While I love the uptempos for when I'm doing houseworks and such, ballads are the ones that I keep listening to over and over again. Like "Take Care".

I might be ready to try ranking them now.  Let's see!

1. Soldier
2. Show 'Em What You're Made Of
3. In a World Like This
4. Madeleine
5. Take Care
6. Make Believe
7. One Phone Call
8. Love Somebody
9. Breathe
10. Feels Like Home
11. Trust Me
12. Light On
13. Permanent Stain
14. In Your Arms
15. Hot, Hot, Hot
16. Try

Okay, when I started making this list, I had the first seven songs tied for first place LMAO.  It was so hard to rank them!  Much easier to start at the bottom and work my way up.  And the fact that Feels Like Home, which I've been in love with for the last two weeks, is only in 10th place just shows how much I LOVE this album!

I'm looking forward to cleaning my apartment sometime today or tomorrow now that I've got some good cleaning music!  I already did some baking with the bananas that were rotting on my counter while I was listening.

LOL I agree, they probably will!

I'm enjoying reading everyone's rankings; it's interesting to see which songs are near the top or bottom of everyone's list and which are completely different!

I already moved Take Care up above One Phone Call! LOL

I like the vibe of it. The lyrics are nice but they don't go with the rhythm of the song. I hate when songs do that but what I do love is the music under the repeat of the chorus. It feels like the song is a reject from Prince of Egypt! LOL it has that should be in a musical type feel to it.

I think you are right though, Cinzia. I can see my list morphing a bit the more I listen and songs get more defined instead of having a bunch of 2nd places and third places etc...

I know I'm having fun seeing that too. It does make sense that the people who like to work out also like the faster stuff where my sloth like self loves the mellow, acoustic stuff.

I am looking forward to cleaning to it tomorrow. I have already played lots of Candy Crush while listening! LOL

The album is not released here yet and I'm trying not to listen in you tube. But I might give up and try cause I'm curious now. I have no idea what the whole fandom is talking about.

Take Care does sound like something from a movie!  There's just a certain drama to it, and the fact that it's so different from verse to chorus, I could see it changing to accompany what's happening in the scene.  I am already imagining some for fanfics LOL.

Aww, when does it come out there?  Here I thought I was one of the last to get it!  I feel your frustration; that's how I've felt for the last week!

As I said on Twitter, I'm in loop with it and I've already written two pages of a story.

I can't focus enough to write anything yet, but it might actually fit very nicely with this Nowie story I've got going.
