Surprise is a different album from the other ones. Was wondering what fans thought best or not so better songs were on the new album. My fav are Northeast/ocean(probably one of the best Paul Simon songs anyway). Beautiful is prob one of the least good songs. But think it is a pretty dawn good album. Fingers crossed he play in Manchester Ocean.

If you go to the ´poll´ section, you ´ll have an idea of the favourite/less favourite tracks according to the fans here.
Funny thing is that for me it is changing a bit with the time, but Another Galaxy is top choice ...

For me the best song of the album is "wartime prayers", but also like very much "How can you?" and "Another Galaxy". ("Father and daughter" is wonderful, but it´s not a new song).

In the other side, I don´t like so much "Beatifull" and "sure don´t feel like Love"

For me there is no bad song on that album.
There are songs on other albums I skip a lot (Quiet, Can I forgive him, Cars Are Cars....)
There is no song I skip on Surprise, but I have my favourites I listen very often - I do not like the Once upon a time there was an ocean as much as other people do, this synth sound is very arguable.

Surprised that Bodo skips ´Quiet´. I had to lead a memorial service to a friend who died of an overdose when depressed. We played ´Quiet´ as part of the service, and it was absolutely spellbinding.

Well, that is a mood I am rarely in Stevie.

I used to not like a lot of the songs on Surprise a lot, but now I appreciate all of them in different ways. There are some I absolutely LOVE, like Wartime Prayers, and also How Can You Live In The Northeast and Outrageous. Those are my three favorites, but I crave the others as well. I guess my least favorite right now would be Father and Daughter. I used to like its upbeatness, and I like the lyrics and the idea, but stylistically it just bores me a bit and doesn´t fit in with the rest of the album much.
