Grown on you?

I usually start the album at "Escape Artist" then let it play out. The first two songs don't matter much to me.

All You Did is the worst song they've ever released. Dreamland is good, but hits a brick wall when the chorus hits due to its overly whimsical lyrics. It comes close to being good.

True dat. Oh, and make it "the first FOUR songs don't matter much to me." I'm sorry, but monkey Brains just doesn't catch with me. Insult all you want but it won't change the way I feel.

It just seems that the second half of the album flows so much better while all the songs meant to catch mainstream radio's attention are clumped at the beginning, you know, for those with short attention spans.

Don't worry. I eliminated Monkey Brains from my retracking of the album. I would save the bridge as an interlude if I could think of a place to put it. I usually use the extracted bridge as an intro to Bring Back The Sun on my playlists, but as for the rest of it, we can scrap it from the album entirely. No insults here, my friend! This is my (rather uncreative) retracking of Burn Burn:

1. All You Did Was Save My Life
2. Time Bomb
3. Dreamland
4. The Right Stuff
5. The End Is Where We Begin
6. It's Time To Go (the bridge from Monkey Brains)
7. Escape Artist
8. Refuge
9. Never Get Over You
10. White Flags
11. Signs of Life
12. Paper Moon

All You Did -> Time Bomb is a great opening combination!
