So far this is off to a pretty good start! I didn't just hate "Front Porch Junkies" because it was some kind of remix, I legitimately found it to be rather bad... Also it's very random that it's a remix here, when the regular version isn't also included. I know it's on some EP from before his first album, but that doesn't mean a casual fan who got into him late is going to know that. Should have put the regular on the album and had the remix be a bonus track or something.
I don't remember much else about this bottom 3, but my perfect rankings suggest I should be happy with how things are going!!
I genuinely found "All-American Middle Class White Boy" to be incredibly difficult to rank. The concept was a bit cringe in places, but the melody was so much more catchy than just about anything else on this album... So I'm not surprised to see it be our most polarizing, and I'm also not all that disappointed to see it out already despite my high rank 'cause it was kinda expected.

The next album track song to leave us is Take You Home! Definitely one of my favorite album tracks, .indulgecountry and someguy even both had it in their top 3! @xfer loses his last place, leaving me with the only last place still left. The hint was Maren's GIRL because Thomas literally says girl in this song EIGHTEEN TIMES! A friend and I noticed when we listened and it was like glass shattered, all we heard was girl, girl, girl, girl, girl. We couldn't help but add girl to every sentence we said to each other for weeks. What you want to eat, girl? Idk, girl. Me either, girl.

In A Minute leaves us next, and I definitely regret having this in my bottom two because I do really like it. Over half the participants even had this in their top five. gonecountry scores a perfect ranking!

And the #1 loss is me. We lose our final album track at #6 and I'm just happy for it to still be here. One of my top five Thomas songs and my go-to from this album. I was a little worried how it would do here (not as worried as I am for my FAVORITE Thomas song that is on Life Changes 😓😓, my 'Angel Boy' of this rankdown series lol) But I was pleasantly surprised most liked it enough to place it in the middle of their rankings, making it the third lowest SD! The hint was a still from Taylor Swift's music video Cardigan because of the line "it started when a couple friends and some dude in a Cardigan came rolling in at 3AM." @xfer got a perfect ranking! Only the five singles remain, how will it play out?!! The only one to have lost their #1 is also the only one to have their last place left. 😬 Songs remaining: Something To Do With My Hands Get Me Some of That It Goes Like This Make Me Wanna Beer With Jesus

I think it would be pretty hard for anybody to make a legitimate argument that all five singles are the "best" this album has to offer, lol. One or two of them, sure, but... Familiarity bias for the win!

As usual, I already forgot where I places these remaining songs, but Sorry For Partyin' feels like it should have been in my top 5.
I agree with the fact that the 5 singles being the top 5 is kinda annoying.

Shouldn't be suprised this is the top 5, but really MMW and GMSOT shouldn't be in here.

I'm rooting for the song where T Rhett showed us he could dance.

5. Get Me Some of That The first single we lose in the top five is Get Me Some of That. It's one I definitely don't mind and tied for my second favorite single from this album. It was King austin's favorite, as he loses his #1 Me, boat, and castle got perfect rankings.

Make Me Wanna is next and takes two #1's with it. Of the three big hits on this, it's the one I connected with the least. :/ Castle and Indulge got perfect rankings! That leaves Beer With Jesus It Goes Like This Something to do With My Hands!

The little non-hit (that should've been a hit) did what it could and got past two of the big ones and lands at #3! Definitely one of my favorites of the singles released and am so glad it got so much support! bboat11 even had it has his #1, .indulgecountry gets another perfect ranking.

thank god "Beer With Jesus" didn't win. I like the song because the lyrics are poignant and everything but the song itself is rather bland (which tbh is this whole album). "It Goes Like This" is just a better song overall, even though the lyrics are rather bland and unoriginal the song has more going on. Thanks for hosting ClevelandRox. Look forward to the next album!

Thanks ClevelandRox for a great rankdown and a somewhat surprising conclusion. Looking forward to the next one!

Lol mess. "Beer with Jesus" is one of the best things he's ever done and "It Goes Like This" is pandering noise.
Looking forward to ranking his later albums that don't suck as much.

Damn so close! I remember hearing his first two singles and thinking I'd like him a lot more than I do. He has released some great songs over the years but he has a lot of clunkers too for me.

It is the time to revive this thread!! Usually I am using my album RD thread for my games, but might as well use this thread for this series! As a big fan of Thomas Rhett on Pulse, I am taking over this thread and keep this game going again until ClevelandRox comes back here (we all miss you!!). This is Thomas Rhett's sophomore album, and features 5 singles, including four #1s ( and one flop for an obvious reason). The deluxe version of the album was released subsequently with three new songs and two remix songs. As the poll above (could you please remove it bboat11 ?) shows, I am including both version of Playing with Fire, and thus, also Die A Happy Man. Looking forward to seeing your list!! I removed the poll, and updated the thread title :)

As a TR fan, I hate to admit that I've never listened to this whole album (or his debut) - only the singles and one other song. But after listening to this a few times, "Vacation" (which isn't my least favorite single from this era) isn't such a departure from some of the other album tracks which makes a little more sense to me haha. Life Changes is still far and away his magnum opus to me, but there were some other good songs on here that I have been missing out on!
List is being put together now ;)
