Oh dear, I didn't even put this top 20, and I know that this is WAY too low.

This was definitely my favorite from the first two albums, Matt's scream at the end is great

A few comments on this batch. - Cold Fever Girl: FYI, I didn't really look at the album or year each song was released. I only ended up checking that 4 songs belonged to their last album (which I just bought this week as my first Ntl album). So I ranked this last because I felt it was the most underwhelming song I had listened to. - Sleep Well Beast: I found out this was from their last album after my initial pre-ranking, and I was surprised that this was of the same album as 3 other songs I had ranked much higher. I found this good but too long and monotonous... - Runaway: I also considered this a bit too monotonous as well... - Slipping Husband: In my preliminary rankings I had this in my bottom 10, but it kept creeping out the more times I heard it. I specially liked Matt's unusual angrier, raspier voice in the final part, and the overall rockier sound of this one.

So far these songs are really mellow. I think you guys would have loved Simon and Garfunkle back in the day. The lead singer's vocals are an acquired taste. So far I would say I liked "All The Wine" and especially "Slipping Husband " It had a slight Dire Straits folk progressing into rock, vibe that I most identified with. I would have put that one in my top 3. I'm guessing it's one of their most rockier songs too?

No massive losses so far, but man, I do love both "Karen" and "This is the Last Time", too.
Do I even need to say that this ranking was painful?
