Prob my fav line from that song
I've listened to this album probably 10 times now. I don't know if I can rate the songs or rank them or anything. I just love this album so much. I'll give my overall thoughts.
01. Intro (Delirium) - I think it's so fascinating how Ellie described this as the transition from Halcyon to Delirium, it really does sound like the last bit of a storm before the sun. And the way it leads into track 2
02. Aftertaste - A really great intro to her new sound! I like the verses better than the chorus, but the song is a great opening
03. Something In The Way You Move - So ****ing good
It was like my second favorite promo track and is still so great
04. Keep On Dancing - It's cute. I don't love it as much as everyone else, but it's still a good song to bop to
05. On My Mind - Underrated gem! I can't help but love this jam
I don't know why you guys hate it, it has so much personality. It isn't generic like Burn. But oh well!
06. Around U - It's not good but it's not bad, it's just.. Adorable I guess haha. Very similar to Stay Stay Stay from Red!
07. Codes -
All I can say is this better be a single
08. Holding On For Life - TAKE ME TO CHURCH BITCH
The pre chorus slays
09. LMLYD - I STILL think this is the best single released this whole year. It's been amazing since Day 1.
10. Don't Need Nobody - This should be a single too
It would sound great in a club.
11. Don't Panic - one of my absolute favorites.
Why you wanna ruin a good thing? Can we take it back to the start? 
12. We Can't Move to This - Contrary to popular opinion, I actually like this one. It's just a bit messy that's all.
13. Army - A good track, I just hate that it's LMLYD 2.0. But the verses are amazing and the production is great.
14. Lost & Foumd - Another of my absolute favorites
Really good blend of Lights Ellie and Delirium Ellie.
15. Devotion - someone waaaaay back said they could see Britney on this track, and I agree!! It's one of the highlights of the album, I just think the post chorus shouldn't have been Devotion being repeated over and over. Other than that, a perfect song.
16. Scream It Out - really great standard closer and it reminds you why you love Ellie.
17. The Greatest - THIS IS SO CUTE
18. I Do What I Love - the only track I dislike. I keep trying to like it but... I can't
19. Paradise - MY. FAVORITE. DELUXE. TRACK. The way she sings
Paradi-i-ise, the buildup, everything
20. Winner - Good, but just there. It's a little dull but I still like it, and the lyrics are very raw.
21. Heal - The second best deluxe track, it's really really great and it's a sound I'd like to hear more from her! It fits pretty well with Devotion.
22. Outside - Calvin and Ellie's best collab
23. Powerful - It's good, but Major Lazer could've given her a better track. She would slay All My Love, the Ariana feature.
24. Let It Die - I've only heard it once but it's a good track
25. Two Years Ago -
One of her best songs, easily
I feel things I've never felt before
Anyway, an AMAZING pop album. Second best this year after E MO TION. I can't compare it to Halcyon because she will probably never top that, so I'd rather look at this as a stand alone! I love all three of her albums because of how different they are, and I'm glad she's evolving as an artist instead of serving us the same music over and over! She's got a little something for everyone, and that's why I love her discography so so so much.
