Gahhhhh 'Border' is so gorgeous (and also got a 9.5 from me by the way
 ). 'I'm going to the border/my body will be stronger' is easily one of the most compelling moments of the whole record  . The song's not mentioned much as future single material but I think it'd work very well. Aside from that, I'm quite fond of 'Memo', 'Foundation' and 'Without' but no big losses given the quality of the album. This post has been edited by Noahspike: 18th August 2015, 10:19 PM |

I'd swap Memo and Worship with that top 10 I think and then I'm content! Border is good but it feels like it goes on too long for me, despite not being a particularly long track, if that make sense. The part mentioned by Noah just above is fabulous though!

Border is lyrically gorgeous!
It's hook isn't that strong however which prevented me from giving it any higher.

QUOTE(randomfurlong @ Aug 18 2015, 08:15 PM)  I Want To Love has really caught me since I rated, would definitely be a 10 now. Such good production. I have similar feelings, I gave it a 7 (still the highest I gave to a bonus)! It would easily be a 9, now.

10: Breathe Average: 8.01 See them, they're shining; JosephStyles (9), AdamAloud (9), Hurricane (9), Totto (9), Krusty111 (9), Taylor Jago (9), Randomfurlong (10), harryflynn0908 (10), Vülker (10), Don’t think you’re worth it; Jester (4), SevenSees (6) Kicking off the top 10, is ‘Breathe’, a Blu Cantrell/Sean Paul cover which was originally included as part of the ‘Take Shelter’ EP as a B side, but also made it onto the super-deluxe version of the album, which most of us didn’t know about due to the fact it costs £30+. ‘Breathe’ is the first song to achieve the 8+ average score, meaning every song in the top 10 has achieved the same. It’s always been difficult to pin down Years & Years’ exact genre, as they’re part-dance, part-pop with indie feels and also notes of R&B. The R&B sound is something that’s obviously in the forefront here, given the source material (though in general, Olly’s vocal tone do bring R&B hints in quite a lot of Y&Y's overall sound). A lot of you really enjoy ‘Breathe’, with Randomfurlong, harryflynn and Vulker all scoring this as a 10. It’’s not a song I’d usually choose to listen to of theirs because I never really liked the original, but it’s a decent cover and is always good when they perform it live. |

9: Worship Average: 8.07 See them, they're shining; Taylor Jago (10),Totto (10), Randomfurlong (10), AdamAloud (9.5), Hurricane (9.5), Krusty111 (9.5) Don’t think you’re worth it; ♡ Heezus Froot ♡ (5), Jester (5), Vülker (6), Joe (6) ‘Worship’, is another song we’d known for a while before the album release, due to being released as a promo track and instant grat. Personally, I don’t see the fuss and think 'Want To Love' and 'Border' are easily better songs. When I first heard this, I lost a bit of excitement for the album, which was, of course, soon restored when ‘Shine’ was premiered a month or so later. That being said, the production is undeniably flawless, as you’d expect with an uptempo number from them, and it scores three 10s - One from Randomfurlong, another from Totto and a third from, you guessed, Taylor Jago.

Breathe and Worship <3 both should have been a bit higher though.

This song was top 5 worthy. |

8: Gold Average: 8.17 See them, they're shining; dandystar (9.5), Hurricane (10), Mart!n (10), THEO (10) Don’t think you’re worth it;♡ Heezus Froot ♡ (6), Iz (6). ‘Gold’ was much hyped by Peter ‘Popjustice’ Robinson, as the best thing Years & Years have recorded, in the lead up to the album release. Whilst it’s a hell of a song with a great hook, I’d still say that was far from the truth, as represented here ‘Gold’ finishes half way through the rate. This was rumoured to be their next single at one point, but now rumours of ‘Eyes Shut’ have begun to bubble, so who knows? I do think ‘Gold’ would make a decent single, but I’d have it on the back end of the campaign, after 2 or 3 other releases including ‘Eyes Shut’ and hopefully a ‘Take Shelter’ re-release. ‘Gold’ scored 8 9s, including one from myself, as as you can see from the above, 4 scores even higher than that. The gap between the averages of 10 - 8 has been small. There’s a bigger jump in averages for the next song. What could it be? |

7: Desire Average: 8.43 See them, they're shining; dandystar (9.5), Jay (9.5), THEO. (9.5) Liаm (9.5), AdamAloud (9.5), Hurricane (10), Randomfurlong (10), Taylor Jago (10), Iz~ (10), FROOT (10), harryflynn0908 (11), Vülker (11), Don’t think you’re worth it;♡ Heezus Froot ♡ (-1), Jonjo (5.5), J▲hq (6.5), Joe (6.5) CHART RUN: 22-36-64-90….x….99-58-46-51-69-76-88-89-77-63-70-64-78-94-x-99-x-67-82-98 PEAK POSITION: 22 SALES: 193k Years & Years’ 3rd biggest hit is the next to fall. Which is somewhat surprising, as I thought it’d be a sure-fire top 5. It’d probably have done a little better had Heezus Froot not dished out the only -1 of the entire rate here. But I have to say, while a bop, some will agree that of their singles from this era (‘Real’, ‘Take Shelter’, ‘Desire’, ‘King’, ‘Shine’), this is arguably their weakest effort, which is why it hasn’t done quite as well, despite getting love from a good handful of posters. When I last saw them live, it was their only hit other than ‘King’ and ‘Shine’ was only just being released, so it was quite a moment when ‘Desire’ was played, and I expect it to continue to be, given it’s one of their most upbeat and danceable tracks. |

I absolutely loved Gold when I first heard it performed, however the studio version really didn't impress me much :/
I agree that Desire is probably their weakest single so far although it is still a bop. |

'Desire' would be a lot better if it had a decent chorus, the lyrics are awful.

Would like to have seen 'Worship' a bit higher but good results so far!

Gold is good but I really hope it doesn't get picked for the next single when they have Eyes Shut still
 Desire is pretty good, was the first thing I heard of theirs (other than Sunlight) so it did the trick I guess  I'd like Real to be 6th so that there's a perfect top 5 but I can't really call it! |

6: Ties Average: 8.48 See them, they're shining; Taylor Jago (10) AdamAloud (10), Nelly.S (10), Totto (10), LeeWallace (10), Hurricane (11), barbaric_dan (11) Don’t think you’re worth it;J▲hq (5.5), Vulker (4) It was so very close but 'Ties' just misses out on the top 5. It's not difficult to see how this is the second highest album track here. It's a swirling, electro banger and epitomises everything great about Years & Years: Interesting, uplifting production and a killer hook. Top 5? Real, Shine, Take Shelter, Eyes Shut, King. |

Thank God the overrated 'Desire' didn't go top 5!
I'm going to predict the top 5 as: 01. 'Shine' 02. 'King' 03. 'Eyes Shut' 04. 'Take Shelter' 05. 'Real' Although any of the top 3 could (and would deserve to do so) win! I'm thinking we might actually see an album track WIN for once, though!

And kicking off the top 5....
5: Real Average: 8.56 See them, they're shining; dandystar (10), Juan Carlos (10), ♡ Heezus Froot ♡ (10), barbaric_dan (10), Umi (11), Mart!n (10), Totto (11), LUKΞ (11), Don’t think you’re worth it; Nelly.S (6), PEAK POSITION: 158 SALES: 15k ‘Real’, for many was a the first song they heard from Years & Years This post has been edited by Joe.: 21st August 2015, 08:36 AM |

4: Eyes Shut Average: 8.9 See them, they're shining; Krusty111 (11), ♡ Heezus Froot ♡ (11), JosephStyles (10), Ryan (10), AdamAloud (10), Joe (10), barbaric_dan (10), Hurricane (10), Taylor Jago (10), harryflynn0908 (10), Jester (10), HausEveryWeekend (10), Noahspike (10), Jonjo (10), LeeWallace (10), J▲hq (10) Don’t think you’re worth it; dandystar (6.5),THEO (6.5), Mart!n (6), Totto (5), CHART RUN: 60-45-75-94 PEAK POSITION: 45 SALES: 40k Just short of a 9 average is the highest album track to appear here. And deservedly so. If you know me at all you’ll know that ballads very rarely manage to strike a chord with me. However, upon hearing ‘Eyes Shut’ something immediately connected, either the lyrics of the vulnerability in Olly’s vocals, there is something special here and I know a lot of you agree with me. Not only would they be crazy not to release this, but they’d be crazy not to release it next. An autumn release with a possible X Factor performance, I’m confident could get this to number 1, or at least make it a long running top 5 hit - these are big words for a post-album track, but I feel confidence with this. In fact, as strong as I think this album is, this is the only remaining song I can imagine would even go top 10. This post has been edited by Joe.: 21st August 2015, 08:24 PM |
