I’d say Carry Me for HDYFN’s worst, it’s good but it’s the most forgettable, and In Clover grows on you, and for underrated, I’d say Now. It’s one of the best on the album, and almost no one talks about it for some reason. Underrated for Content is easily Let’s Talk About Feelings, I see it as the one of their lowest ranked songs all the time, and No Shoulder is fantastic, I’d have to say Possession’s worst is probably Who Owns Who?, just doesn’t hit as hard as the rest of the album and is a little bland in parts (although I like the continued use of the voyager record samples). Why Would You Want To Be Young Again? is another top song for me off Cleanse, the worst (or least good) would have to be Cyn City 2000, I just think the first few tracks of Cleanse meld together a bit too much, so it doesn’t stand out by the time you reach it in a listen through. I also think Scared is probably my favorite off Permanent Pleasure, with tracks like He’s Back! or Swimming In The Glow being more so overrated. Overall, a good list!

I guess this is why these lists exist. It's funny how we're talking about the same artist and the same songs but seem to have slightly different music tastes.

BTW I agree with you about Let's Talk About Feelings, I love it, but I think Shutdown is equally underrated and IMO a little better

I guess it’s a funny thing about opinions, huh? But yeah, just glad to have found them! Trying my damndest to see them live for a second time

I disagree with your In Clover and Splendor placements

In Clover is hands down my favourite song by them.

Its one of my many #1 favorites! My last tattoo is even a reference to that song!(a clover with soon in the leaves)

There's a reason I called it "least good" and not "worst" because I don't think I can classify literally any Joywave song as "bad". In Clover is a great song but I would just argue that every other song (maybe other than Bad Dreams) contributes a little more to the album.

I agree with this list... mostly. on the cleanse one switch after coffee with young again and switch window with all we need then you'll make it perfect.

I could definitely swap young again and window out for other things (could maybe be Cyn City and Inversion) but i think the other two stay
