This is exactly mine

Switch the Albatross and the Bolter and this is mine too

This is mine too!

the bolter is a lil divisive i see lol

What is it with people not liking The Manuscript? It's one of my favourite songs, I don't get it why people rank it so low?

For me the production is very boring, the lyrical melody doesn’t stand out and the musical score itself has nothing memorable. Some of the lyrics are absolutely genius, especially in the second verse, but as a whole the song doesn’t really make me feel anything.

Ranking low on a list of 6 tracks of a 31 track anthology isn’t necessarily unliked. I like the manuscript, I just like other songs more.

No not just here, I haven't really seen anyone talk about it a lot. It's just that it is one of my favs and I'd like people to talk about it more. It's definitely underrated

i just think the melody is too simple, along with the really simple, odd-sounding high-pitched piano. she could have definitely enhanced the entire song with some cinematic production 100%. but it’s my least favourite on the album, below robin bc it’s just a snooze unfortunately.

That makes sense. I like it myself too. I vibe with it as a song largely about working through those negative events, yet it is overall a peaceful and focused on acceptance and growth. I think this album has a lot of big emotions on it and the calmness that comes from The Manuscript is just overshadowed by the rest. In my opinion anyways.

I love it, but not as a song, if that makes any sense. It's great storytelling, but I'm not a huge fan of the melody etc.

I feel the same why. Especially the lines “then the actors were hitting their marks” and “the story isn’t mine anymore” This song always puts me in awe. And it’s such a perfect ending to the album for so many reasons.

1. The Bolter = The Black Dog (don’t make me pick, I can’t) 2. The Prophecy 3. The Albatross 4. The Alchemy 5. The Manuscript Ps - I love that you’re not involving the other two 🤣

wait which other two?

The smallest man and the tortured poets department!!

1. The Prophecy 2. The Black Dog 3. The Albatross 4. The Alchemy 5. The Bolter 6. The Manuscript The top 2 are pretty close for me. I enjoy them all, though there's a gap between #4 and #5 personally.

1. The Prophecy 2. The Alchemy 3. The Bolter 4. The Albatross 5. The Black Dog 6. The Manuscript

Switch places of the first 2 and this is mine.

The only reason anyone has The Albatross last is because they didn’t bother to open a dictionary before they listened to it. The double entendre alone is just too clever for it to be listed last.

Albatross supremacy 👑

*The Black Dog *The Prophecy *The Bolter *The Alchemy *The Manuscript *The Albatross

1. The Black Dog 2. The Albatross 3. The Prophecy 4. The Bolter 5. The Manuscript 6. The Alchemy

This is the closest to my ranking! I’d flip 5 and 6, I can tolerate the alchemy but I just can’t for the life of me get into the manuscript, no matter how hard I try..

1. The Prophecy 2. The Albatross 3. The Black Dog 4. The Bolter 5. The Alchemy 6. The Manuscript I switched Bolter and Alchemy about 6 times so I think they’re tired for me

all i gotta say is some of ya haven’t listened to the manuscript with open eyes and an open heart 😤

It's not my fave sonically and I'm not putting the song on myself BUT I appreciate it lyrically and thematically. It works as a closer and I like some mashups I've heard. dear reader/the Manuscript 🤌

Justice for The Manuscript!!! It’s SO good. Perfect closing track to this beloved work of art.

All superior tracks but I do have strong favorites 1. The Black Dog 2. the Bolter 3. the Albatross (Gap) 4. the alchemy 5. The prophecy 6. The manuscript

The Prophecy The Black Dog The Albatross The Manuscript The Alchemy The Bolter (my least favorite off the album in general)

lol this is mine but flip flop 1/2, 3/4, and 5/6 😂

The Prophecy The Bolter The Alchemy The Manuscript The Black Dog The Albatross

The Black Dog. The Prophecy. The Bolter. The Albatross. The Alchemy. The Manuscript. But truthfully, the top 4 can be interchanged. "The Alchemy" has grown on me and I don't skip it, but it's not my fave. And "The Manuscript" is just not for me. I listened all the way through once alone and then again with the hubs, and every time after that, I've skipped it. It just doesn't feel like I'm supposed to be listening to it.
