The singles all went in the exact correct order they should. I love it.

Both of the top 2 are fantastic. I slightly prefer “Brand New Man”, but “Neon Moon” is a great winner too. Thanks for hosting castleoblivion26.

So, other than me switching "Boot Scootin' Boogie" and "I've Got A Lot To Learn" with each other (damn that overplay for BSB, lol), I had perfect rankings for this entire album... Not too shabby!!!! It sucks that all these amazing singles are on the same album as each other, because all of them deserve to be winners, and are quality enough to where they could become winners if individually placed on a random album by just about any other '90s male artist. Although tbh that's basically the way that the majority of B&D's albums are until their last couple, so... This album is just one of the most noteworthy examples.

Kinda fun to go from an era stacked with hits to one that was basically a flop era for them. It'll be interesting to see if any of the album cuts rise above the singles in that one. I haven't heard the album though, so for all I know it'll be another dud like Hillbilly Deluxe.

Having just finished all my first listens within the past week, I feel like it is definitely not even 1/4 as bad as Hillbilly Deluxe! But also not nearly as great as their first handful of albums. Probably right in the middle of their catalog, lol.

That being said, I would love for an album track to win.

Nothing on this album stands out as their best work overall, but I do think this is the album I find Kix did a lot of the heavy lifting imo.
Having said that I do think "Temptation #9" is destined for the bottom.

Having said that I do think "Temptation #9" is destined for the bottom. I agree as I think that'll likely be the first song out. This was such an underwhelming era overall, but I suppose given all the success they had previously they were probably due for one. I'm personally rooting for an album track to win this, but I think "You'll Always Be Loved By Me" will likely come out on top. Speaking of this album era, I remember Ronnie Dunn speaking about this album and knew that when Montgomery Gentry won for Vocal Duo at the CMAs that year that they needed to change up their formula. I think this in turn ended up being a good thing for them as I believe it helped to reenergize them.

What a waste of a cool song title was my takeaway from this one.

"Temptation #9" was an easy last place for me. It probably wouldn't have been my last place on a worse album like Hillbilly Deluxe, but on this album it easily had the most grating melody.
"All Out Of Love" climbed a few spots higher on my list specifically for how the song builds!!! I can totally see the verses being boring to people, but I found the song hit all the sweet spots for me whenever the arrangement increased its intensity in the last half of the song. Granted the vocal arrangement didn't necessarily build a whole lot, but still the instrumental parts sounded so good that the song gained a few spots on my list!
"Texas And Norma Jean" is a decent story song, but this is one of many songs that would have been significantly improved with a better vocalist. (But what kind of name is Marilyn Justine 😂😂😂)

Well this is incorrect. "Beer Thirty" is a jam! Where's the single bias?!?!!
