For me, this album is an even split between great/amazing songs and tracks that feel mediocre or boring, which makes it a slightly inconsistent listen, but still solid overall. **🎶 Tracklist Review** 1.) Rebel Yell 🔵🥈 2.) Daytime Drama 🟡 3.) Eyes Without a Face 🔵🥇 4.) Blue Highway 🔵 5.) Flesh for Fantasy 🔵🥉 6.) Catch My Fall 🟡 7.) Crank Call 🟢 8.) (Do Not) Stand In the Shadows 🟢 9.) The Dead Next Door 🟠 ──────────────────── **🤔 Track Rating Scale** 🔵 Loved — Thoroughly enjoyed it and will revisit often. 🟢 Liked — Enjoyed it, but it’s not one I’d revisit often. 🟡 Mixed — Enjoyed it somewhat, but some aspects held it back for me; most likely won’t revisit. 🟠 Disliked — Didn’t enjoy it very much; won’t be revisiting. 🔴 Hated — Didn’t enjoy any part of it; no desire to revisit ever again. ⚪️ Interlude, etc. — Not rated as an actual song. ──────────────────── **🏅 Ranking Scale** 10 — Perfect 9 — Exceptional 8 — Great 7 — Good 6 — Decent 5 — Average 4 — Below Average 3 — Poor 2 — Bad 1 — Awful 0 — Unlistenable”
