I can only pick 5?

Haven’t heard the bonus songs yet, but as it stands and subject to change as songs grow on me...

One Song at a Time
Drovers’ Road
My Bacon Roll
Trapper Man
Back on the Dancefloor

I do like Good on you Son.  But I’ve probably ‘over-listened’ to it whilst waiting for the rest of the album

Nobody's Child is my current fave, nice voice, cool rythm by Mark and of course Lead Guitar on the LP
Love it, and it is the Title which reminds me of the Cover...

Runners up

Back on the Dance Floor
One Song at a Time
Drover's Road
Heavy up

...ah and of course I love Don't suck me in.
Waiting for an official Download somewhere

Oh dear, I gave it a few listens but it's still hard. So far my top five is following:

1 Don't suck me in (so I'm glad I bought the deluxe-box-stuff-thing-whatever-box it's called)
2 One song at a time
3 Nobody's child
4 Drover's road
5 Good on you son

More importantly for me though after 30 years of finding solace in his voice through his music these new songs are like having therapy. All my mundane daily stresses seem to disappear when listening to MK.

Some of the most beautiful words ever said here.
I feel the same.

So, so true..!

I am more up for the work everyday when thinking about the new album, the tour with good seats, and humming on the songs. It gives you motivation and energy, at least for me :D

I've taken a while to think about this and all the hysteria over the new album to settle and here's what I've come up with:

1. One song at a time
2. My bacon roll
3. Don't suck me in
4. Sky and water
5. Trapper man

Really love all three bonus songs and I'm almost angry they weren't in the album.  Why Mark, why? ???

After a week of endless listening I think I can finally come up with my ultimate Top 5:

1. Back on the Dance Floor
2. Drovers' Road
3. One Song at a Time
4. Trapper Man
5. Nobody's Child

I only considered songs from the regular album. That all being said, I really like every song apart from Heavy Up.

alright, my 2 cents (in random order) :

1 Every heart in the room
2 Nobody's child
3 When you leave
4 My bacon roll ( who would've thought ;-)
5 Slow learner

I just feel those Bacharach-style songs he came up with fit more with his current style and age than trying to make groove songs a la GOYS. Ah well, different strokes...

do (totally) not like:
1.when you leave - plain boring. no decent guitar. pretty sure it will be played live though
2.slow learner - same as the above.
3. every heart...do not totally dislike it, but does not "buzz" me.

i love all the rest.
any Knopfler, Floyd or Dylan will do....

I love When you leave ! Reminiscent of "A place we used to leave" from TRD- do you find it boring to ?
Anyay, since you once told me that Sumariner was just an upgraded version of the Fish and the Bird...:)
