11) Getting Warmer
12) Make Me Like You
13) Naughty
14) Rocket Ship
15) Me Without You
16) Loveable
17) Red Flag
I amost left Used to Love You unranked because I don't know how I feel about it. It's quite a bit older than the rest so I'm already used to it, but it's in my top three pre-TIWTTFL Gwen songs and it's hard to compare to the rest until I think a little more.

Your top 7 slays  Those plus Make Me Like You and Ask 4 It are pretty much all my favorite tracks on the album.

My Top 5
1. Obsessed
2. Splash
3. Lovable (International)
4. Getting Warmer
5. You're My Favorite
Honourable mention for Naughty, Misery and Send Me A Picture
The Deluxe tracks are unreal and so much better than most of the standard.

It’s not particularly difficult to commiserate with anyone that’s gone through an evidently shambolic period in their lives. I imagine many turn or return to religion and that’s understandable. But it’s been rather… “unusual” hearing Gwen promote the healing powers of “god” and prayer in just about every press interview she’s done so far. She even has an article featured on Christianity Today. She’s not pushing it on anyone, retweeting Joel Osteen, or even stating what religious sect she belongs to, so no harm, no foul.
This isn’t a slight to anyone religious either. Just a mere observation that could be considered an odd irk after following her and the band for so many years. If she wins music awards, well, I can already predict how her thank you speeches will conclude.
I think I’m still having some confusion in terms of what the truth actually feels like. I think it's about falling in love with a big man child, finding god and thanking him a lot, making a subtle attempt to out ex-husbands, **** pics, and probably emojis or something ridiculous that only Gwen could comprehend.
All the best to her!

Where Would I Be is so good. How did she do this??? The build-up to each chorus and the bridge complement the verses and choruses so perfectly.

I finally saw the light. Obsessed is the best song on the album
I'm obseSSED...~nananananana
I'm obseSSED...~nananananana
I'm obseSSED...~nananananana
I'm obseSSED...~nananananana
That's how I do. do. That's how I do.

Rocket Ship needs to be a single, that has SMASH written all over it, especially in the summer.

Asking for It, Rocket Ship, Red Flag, Naughty and Send Me a Picture are all summer songs. Major contenders for singles especially Rocket Ship what the hell is she doing with the singles? At this rate it will be all the flops she released and if Misery gets the third slot that will tank also and she might not get another single.. what a mess

Don't forget about Getting Warmer, that's an AMAZING late summer song.

I haven't followed her closely beyond the music lately (or ever honestly), and I was expecting this album to be a disappointment along the lines of TSE, but it's a much nicer and more interesting listen! Really enjoyed it thus far.

Rocket Ship sounds like a SMASH. It would sound amazing if Gaga did it
