    I imagine that this list is going to be fairly dynamic for me given that I've only heard the album 5 times thus far.  The only easy choice for me is ranking "Clay" dead last.  At least for now. 

    1. Annabel
    2. Drew
    3. Jo
    4. Alvar
    5. Thea
    6. Ulla
    7. Laurel
    8. Simone
    9. Stranger
    10. Clay

    Clay last?! The shame and shade of it all!

    Alvar, Jo and Ulla are least played but this is an album I rarely skip a track while listening because it is really one whole for me. I find it hard to judge the songs individually. They are like a family of people with stories that come by in their respective time and place on the album, exactly where they should be.

    Of the three that I have heard I cannot place them in any order at all. Of course this may all change once I have an actual copy in my grubby mitts.

    'Clay' and 'Drew' are the only two I play out of order--at this time.
    If I were dead, could I do this?

    That seems a fair assessment to me and I certainly don't feel able to rank the songs in order at this stage, though Thea is the standout track for me, and it seems quite a few others too.

    This may change, but I'm a big fan of Alvar, I remember it sounding breathtaking in Manchester, almost completely different with live percussion... And even though I have Simone and Laurel at the end I still love them, it's just which songs I'm listening to the most (I'm still playing them A LOT)

    Alvar
    Clay
    Ulla
    Annabel
    Jo
    Thea
    Drew
    Stranger
    Laurel
    Simone

    It's really hard to decide as I find it as an album perfect!
