I really do dig Break Your Heart on its own. At first it sounded like something Tom Petty could sing

Probably because it's the exact same chord progression and melody (in a different key) as Won't back down by Tom Petty.

This will probably change in like a month, but this is it so far. Not easy to do though
1. Get Hurt
2. Stay Vicious
3. Underneath The Ground
4. Dark Places
5. Have Mercy
6. Helter Skeleton
7. Rollin' and Tumblin'
8. Selected Poems
9. 1,000 Years
10. Stray Paper
11. Halloween
12. Break Your Heart
13. Red Violins
14. Ain't That A Shame
15. Sweet Morphine
16. Mama's Boys

5) Sweet Morphine
6) Break Your Heart
7) Helter Skeleton

10) Halloween (if this was a half-step down and recorded at higher quality it'd be much higher on this list)
11) Mama's Boys
12) Dark Places
13) Red Violins
14) Underneath The Ground
15) Selected Poems
16) Ain't That A Shame (tears in my eyeballs is the only line Brian's ever written that I cringe at every time I hear it)

7. Stay Vicious
8. Get Hurt
9. Red Violins
10. Sweet Morphine -- sounds better live.
11. Stray Paper
12. Mama's Boys -- again, better live.
13. Rollin' and Tumblin'

15. Halloween (album version) -- knocked it down b/c I added the original recording to my Get Hurt album playlist, so this one is skipped lol.
16. Helter Skeleton -- the lyrics to this still make me cringe every time I hear it. I will admit it was a lot more enjoyable live though.

For me, the slide guitar takes it from a "pretty good" song to "absolutely fucking incredible." So subtle yet so powerful.

Still can't rank the songs but I will say "Red Violins" has somehow worked its way from the bottom half to maybe my favorite song on the album

I haven't got the deluxe version, so can't really rank the others.
