Most of these songs are solid, so even at the bottom you don't have bad music (ok fine, maybe "We Walk").

A tricky one, an album with permanent residence in my all-time top 5 and with only two disappointing tracks (We Walk and...Radio Free Europe, only after hearing the Hib-Tone mix, mind):

10 | Shaking Through
08 | Sitting Still
03 | Laughing
12 | West of The Fields
02 | Pilgrimage
04 | Talk About The Passion
06 | Perfect Circle
05 | Moral Kiosk
09 | 9-9
07 | Catapult
01 | Radio Free Europe
11 | We Walk
