First listen.
I like "Fine By Me" more than "Keep Your Head Up" because "Fine By Me" has more of a flow.
Hmm. I'm not a fan of the way the lyric "lunatic" is sung: "luna-na-tic."
Ha. Nice punchline. "It's like I've been feeling like a helium balloon | You know I'm always on the rise"

4: "Fine By Me";
3: "Keep Your Head Up";
2: "Miss Me";
1: "Lunatic"; "Ladies"; "Love Love Love (Let You Go)";
0: "Slow"; "The Pocket";
-1: "You Should Know Better"; "Build Me a Girl"; "Biggest Man in Los Angeles";

Summary:
As I listened to the album, I couldn't help but feel like the tracks were enjoyable but failed to excite me (aside from "Keep Your Head Up" and "Fine By Me"). I suppose the album is less energetic and more peaceful and soothing.

Overall Rating: 3.0/5
Favorite Song: "Fine By Me"
