The mixing on ESR did it no favors.

I think I was being rather too generous with my #8 ranking for "Eight Second Ride", so I'm glad to see it in the bottom two. I was just looking back over the lyrics to the song and just wow... I said climb on up, but honey, watch the cup that I'm spittin' my dip inside

The bottom 2 for this album was correct! Both of these sucked.
Thankfully the entire rest of the album was vastly better!

Well, you look like an angel with the old head in the clouds You woke me up this morning with the old foolin' around At a half past three, oh, lately I don't get much sleep, but that's alright 'Cause girl, it feels so good the way that you bring out the bad in me
You call me up at work, said, "Baby can you come on home? I'm feeling kind of crazy and I'm all alone I got nothing on, tell your boss it's an emergency there's a man in need"

Loving how my #10, #9, and #8 all went out in a row, I fully expect my #11 to make the top 5 so let's go ahead and get rid of my #7 next!
"The Bad In Me" is catchy and fun but on the more forgettable side of the album for me. Good filler.

Now it's SHOOTER and I's turn to feel pain from the reveals, as we lose our #4 and #2 respectively! The taste did not jump out with some of y'all. "The Bad In Me" is perhaps a song that one might not think I'd be too fond of--to me, its lyrics do hint at a taste of bro-country. But damnit if this ain't one of the guiltiest pleasures I've ever heard!!! This is such a great opener to the album--that low guitar kicking things off is to die for, and that melody is a jam!!! I would have much rather had this as a single than "Eight Second Ride"!!!

Judd--of course, then it would be genius!!!

I've always been the kind of man to jump the gun, and cut and run Stayin' one step ahead of that ol' ball and chain Settlin' down never crossed my mind, it was easier to leave the knot untied It looks like a lot of things have changed
You're makin' it hard not to love you, makin' it tough on a man like me Who's always found a way to get around this kind of thing 'Cause when you put your lovin' on me, I can't help feelin' like I do

"Hard Not to Love You" leaves us as the most polarizing song--not only are there three last-place rankings, but ClevelandRox also becomes the first person to lose their #1 song--AND somebody had the song at every position in their rankings except for #4 or #10!!! I don't understand how it's so polarizing tho!!! It's a pretty strong song! I can't imagine listening to this and thinking, "Lord almighty, this song is atrocious! It's the worst this album has to offer!" when songs like ESR are standing right over there

"The Bottle and Me" is a pretty good song, and it's fairly catchy, but I can't help but think that it would be much better suited as a ballad. I think it might've done much better on my list, and overall in the rankdown, had that been the case.

Wow I've loved "Hard Not To Love You" since the album came out, easily one of my favorite album tracks from him. I'm surprised it got so much last place rankings!
"Places To Run" is out next I think.

She pulled her hair back to sun her shoulders Took the oil and rubbed it all over her soft skin Oh, I'm a lucky man She wasn't wantin' any suntan lines so she Reached back and she untied that little string Oh, and then she smiled at me And blew a kiss right off her fingertips I don't know what it is
But there's something about a woman Yeah, some kind sweet little something That I may never understand Yeah, some kind of gift they're givin' That makes this life worth livin' And it makes a man a man Oh, there's nothing like that something

"Something About a Woman" is just an atrocious song no matter how you look at it. How it only just missed the Top 5 when it should've been in the bottom 3 is beyond me. Trash!

Oh marvelous! I never cared for this song, I'm sad that it was chosen as a single when there were so many better choices!

I would not be even slightly exaggerating if I told you that "Eight Second Ride" is one of the worst songs I have ever heard. I do not hate Florida Georgia Line's worst song even half as much as I hate this song. That's how atrocious I think it is. It might even get the title of "most noteworthy station changer of my entire life."

I've lived all my life with no ties that bind There wasn't anything or anyone that I couldn't leave behind I could always find a getaway from what I was hiding from It's looking like I've run out of places to run
Everywhere I go and everything I do There ain't a corner that I turn that ain't one big déjà vu She told me when I walked away this day would come

"Places to Run" is such a nice, laid-back song. The production is really nice and Jake really knows a good melody when he hears it! Guess what...this song lost a TIE!!!! Any guesses as to what the winner of the tie could possibly be?

The place is packed, the line is long The band knows every Haggard song I'm gettin' loose, I've had a few She wants to dance, I do too

I was SHOCKED at how high I ended up ranking "Yee Haw"... I forgot what a catchy jam it is, lmao. The overall concept is really stupid, and I hate the verses....but then that chorus is great!

Y'all...what on earth am I not hearing?! Lol this is one of the dumbest songs I think I've ever heard. The production is nice but the lyrics are atrocious and it's just overall not a song that I would ever have wanted to hear on the radio nor will I ever be re-visiting it. Jake Owen is hot as f**k in that MV tho. Mm!!!! Since this song had a #1 ranking from gardyfan, and "Places to Run" didn't have any, I reluctantly pushed this up to win the tie. The next song beat out "Yee Haw" by ONE POINT!!!!!!

Even I was surprised at how high I ended up ranking "Yee Haw" as I find it to be a tad bit on the corny side lyrically. Its catchiness is what ends up redeeming it just enough to make for a fun listen.
