"Can't Take My Eyes Off You" is the only bad song on the album. Absolutely adore the rest. I was so mad seeing "Love's Looking Good On You" at #11, but then I realized I ranked it at #10. There's just so much quality on this album!!! Ugh how I miss this sound for them :(

I’m not too surprised by these so far. All good songs, but there are stronger ones on the album.

Okay, so to recap... 12 - "Can't Take My Eyes Off You": cerulean becomes the first to lose a top five, while a huge majority of us have this track in our bottom three...and half of us scored perfect rankings! This song also has the third lowest standard deviation and was in last place the entire time. 11 - "Love's Lookin' Good on You": here, multiple top fives get axed and there are fewer bottom three ranks in this case. Being the second least polarizing song of the rankdown, I personally think this song deserved better... 10 - "Emily": the iTunes bonus track barely makes the top ten and we see multiple top THREE losses here from George Strait Junkie and Sambalada. Four of us obtain perfect rankings and three others finally lose their last place.

"Can't Take My Eyes Off You" 2nd worst song on the album and really probably could've been left off and replaced with "Emily" and made the main album better. No shock to see it here.
Everything higher than this so my top 10 is nearly flawless so good start as I guess my #12 is going top 5.
"Love's Lookin' Good On You" is a cool little song with a catchy melody, I just think it gets a little outshone with other tracks here. Would be a highlight on any of their other albums!
"Emily" I figured it wouldn't do well, and with my #9 ranking I didn't help all that much but it's next to impossible to move it higher due to the strength of the album!
Let the pain begin while I await my #12's elimination!

of course "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" is in last place because oh my a slow song, it must be boring! Don't get me wrong there have been many slow songs that I have not really given a chance because it was too slow for me and in the moment I listened to it I could not get into it but I actually like this one and it deserved better. It is simple but effective. Definitely the wrong choice for last place.

Happy to see "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" in last place. I knew my #12 wouldn't be in last, so this was the next best thing! The other two songs that have left us already are much better, but neither loss has me exactly broken up. This is a solid album and has some great songs on it, but it's definitely overrated and still has a handful of weak links.

To assume that that many people reacted to the song so negatively just because it is slow is a gross oversimplification of people's opinions and experiences. The fact that you ended up on the wrong side of the consensus does not mean you get to assume that everybody else is too stupid to get it. This is not a boring song. This is a song that most people found to be actively bad, and you connected with it in ways that nobody else did for some reason. It doesn't mean you're wrong either; this is just what we lovingly call a Flops Moment. Music taste is all subjective, and if you found a new jam, enjoy it! But don't act like everyone else is inferior for hating it.

I liked the song and shared my disappointment in it being in last place. So sorry if the way I worded it came out wrong, I won't bother posting my opinions anymore.

Although, slower songs need to have a really engaging melody and/or captivating lyrics for me to enjoy it, and for me, "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" has neither. Melodically I find it very dull and lyrically it brings nothing new or inspiring to the table. And in an album this strong, this was the only acceptable last place in my eyes. I'm glad it has a fan in you though!!

Well of course you didn't say it outright. But when you said that everybody found it to be boring just because oh my it's a slow song, that is exactly what you implied. As if it being slow automatically means that people who dislike it only tanked it because it is slow, and as if you liking it automatically means that there aren't a whole host of other valid reasons for people disliking it... The point is, if you belittle everyone else in the process of sharing your own opinions, you might ruffle some feathers. I'm sure you can see why your first post would come across as belittling other people if you go back and look at it, even if you didn't mean it that way. But to roll over now and act like I am telling you that your opinions are wholesale trash and you should stop posting them just because I found issue with one of your posts? That is HUGE bullshit. You know I love your taste and respect your opinions, and would enjoy rankdowns significantly less without your contributions. I am flummoxed that you would even respond in that way, because you and I have literally never disagreed before... It ain't that deep!

I was more referring to the fact that most slow songs that are similar to this one always end up out near the beginning and the usual response is that the song was boring, which is why I responded the way I did. My intention was never to belittle anyone. I've also been sick and dealing with some bs this past week which didn't help my mood so I do apologize.

wow. just wow. I am floored here. This song is one of the highlights of this album and of Lady Antebellum period. How anyone had this below their top 5 (which was a lot I get that but I stand by what I'm saying). This song lyrically is so powerful and really hit home for me.
I'm gonna be super dramatic here but this going out this early is enough for me to consider quit doing rankdowns all together (which I'm already considering anyways). This was almost my #1 because of how it has personally hit me but I have never had anyone say anything negative about this one so I just can't with it being this low. Especially when weak songs like "Lookin' For A Good Time", "Home Is Where The Heart Is", and "Slow Down Sister" are still in.

VERY disappointed at most of y'all who didn't put this in their top half. I'm such a sucker for songs with inspirational messages like these and "One Day You Will" has a special place in me heart. In fact, I almost switched out "All We'd Ever Need" for "One Day You Will" in the main RD. I even thought about including two album tracks per album alongside the singles instead of just one. My condolences go out to castleoblivion26 as he loses his #2 already... :'(

castleoblivion26 should be happy with this one! Outlasting ODYW by only one point, "Slow Down Sister" doesn't have as many top fives as the former, but an extra #2 rank gave the latter an advantage. Coming up next at #7 is another fairly polarizing song that has only a single #2 rank, but even more top fives than ODYW did!

castleoblivion26 Totally agree that "One Day You Will" is fantastic but literally the top 8 of this album for me are 10/10. I'm looking at my list atm and maybe I could've moved it up one more spot but really the other songs I related to more and that's what pushed them for me to higher positions. Again put this on any of their other albums and this would be a highlight! Just awaiting my #12 to leave now and I'd have a perfect top 6.

Slow Down Sister is really good, but One Day You Will definitely deserved better. I thought this had a better shot at doing well. Oh well. Rip.

My comment was harsh because of how much this song means to me. This is up there with Martina's "From The Ashes" for me. I think I'm more in shock over those who had it 12 through 9 because seriously WHAT? lol Now don't get me wrong I like everyone song on this album, there isn't actually a song I dislike but my Top 4 are easily my top 4 favorite songs Lady Antebellum have ever done and the songs I have from 12 through 8 are easily the weakest on the album. I will say I will never understand why they only released 3 singles and how "Lookin' For A Good Time" became one of them (like that song but not as a single). "Home Is Where The Heart Is" better not be in the Top 5 though lol

Yikes. The rankdown was off to a solid start, but these two deserved way better! ODYW is one of the songs I hadn't heard from this album in a long time, but I forgot how good it was. It's gorgeous. And SDS is a bop.
"Lookin' for a Bad Song" and "(This Song Should've Been) Long Gone" need to gtfo.

Okay! Missing the top half of the rankdown is the first Hillary-led track of the album "Long Gone". ClevelandRox loses his #2 and seven others lose a top five. Meanwhile tim finally loses his last placer! We have now went through the songs that didn't have any #1 placements; kicking off the top half is the first #1 loss of the game!

Nooooooooo at "Long Gone" and "One Day You Will" being out already! Both are easily highlights on the album.
At least "Slow Down Sister" is gone now though. That's the only one left I don't love (Eyes, Slow, and Emily are the only not perfect songs here).

I'll kick off the top half on the next page! Keep in mind that we start losing #1's here and all of the songs remaining has at least one #1 and we may get to those with multiple #1's sooner than you think! :o
