Hi. I am so sorry for the delays in getting this rankdown wrapped up in a more timely fashion. It has been a whirlwind few weeks, in many different ways. Believe it or not though, I was actually going to continue on with these reveals a couple days ago! But just as I was gathering up the data I had compiled for the results, my computer decided to crash on me completely. It’s officially dead. I just bought an iPad through my phone carrier today and it will be arriving within the next couple of days, so I promise that you can certainly look forward to these results continuing by the end of the week! My laptop but the dust a few weeks back too so I feel your pain there!

Yeah, I had a laptop bite the dust while I was traveling the last couple of weeks so I can totally relate, unfortunately.

Okay but what we're not going to do is get rid of "The Safest Place" yet, so that spoiler tag better not be a hint!

Back when I was daddy's little girl He brought me up on the Rolling Stones Thrown into the flame, Thrown into the world That's when I learned how To rock n' roll
Looks like everything Has gone my way But I've still got hell to raise
Yeah I'm a twisted angel Flying wild and free Yeah I'm a twisted angel

Oh that's fine! This album's poppiest moments are its weakest moments, outside of "Life Goes On".

Definitely wasn’t, but it’s good to know I caught your attention It is in fact the title track that leaves us at #10. To me, it’s just a whole mess of a song so I’m glad we got rid of it before it could make too much of an infiltration in the results. This song isn’t without its supporters though, as we see three posters lose a Top 5 with this reveal.

This being out before the two immediately preceding tracks is... something.

Bet you thought my world was over Bet you thought I'd crash and burn You thought I'd never Pick myself up off the floor But baby you were wrong Just like before
I used to breathe you I used to need you I used to hang on every word that you say It used to please you To try to make me someone else And I thank you from my heart for your help

In retrospect, I think I might’ve underranked “You Made Me Find Myself” just a tad. This Tina Arena cover does start off rather promising and LeAnn’s delivery of those first few lines is marvelous, but there’s just something to the song that keeps me from enjoying it thoroughly.

If there's anything that's outright skippable on this album, it's this. And it would be the one with a #teamAUSSIE connection wouldn't it?

You've got me wrapped up in you Somehow you led me in Into your web of bittersweet Of ecstasy and sin I feel like an angel falling Down from grace
I try to run but I keep on falling And every time I turn around I hear your voice, and it keeps on calling I'm bound

“No Way Out” isn’t too terrible of a song within the album; I especially love LeAnn’s vocal on this one. It’s the production that hinders this one the most for me. But if we had THIS version, it’d likely have fought for a spot in my Top 5!

Maybe unpopular opinion but 'Twisted Angel' is one of my favorite albums by LeAnn. I love the pop sound she went for with this project.

The production of “Love Is An Army” is gorgeous and LeAnn’s vocal is stunning. If only these two factors could’ve been put into a better song. Also…what is this random attempt at yodeling towards the end?!

The top 6 is literally just the first half of the album? Okay, that's cool.

Don't explain it away Cause, it just ain't my thing All this articulating Just a little heartbreak Why make it more than it seems I'd much rather get back to dreamin' my dreams
See cause I've been thinkin' we'll meet again someday But until we do Let's just say
See ya round, gotta go Sayonara, adios, Arrivederci Au revoir, auf Wiedersehen, Ciao bella, never change Oh mercy mercy Don't make me cry

“Trouble With Goodbye” is such a bop! It’s got an infectious melody, particularly during the chorus, that is easy to get stuck in your head.

She parks her car at the top of the hill Only inches from the edge Where she's almost falling Stares at the sky till she's drowning in the rain
Nice dress, nice smile What a wonderful child If they knew all the lies she's told them It's too complicated for her to explain
She prays to the heavens to try to save her soul

“Wound Up” is another song that I believe I might’ve underranked slightly; as I do quite enjoy it. On the other hand, however, I feel like the more upbeat production does a disservice to the lyrical content, and that a more somber melody to match the lyrics would’ve upped the ante on this song dramatically.

I want to be strong But I don't want to be alone tonight I want to believe that I can save the world And make it right, but I'm only human And you've got a hero's face Right here in your arms

“The Safest Place” is easily among the best this album has to offer…and that’s evidenced by the fact that everyone put it in their Top 10! There’s not a bottom 3 in sight!!!!
