With a few exceptions I see my opinion on The Watchman's Gone is shared by loads. This album is tough to do a 1 - 10 on in that it's darn near perfect, but I'll have a go anyway -

1. The Watchman's Gone
2. Sundown
3. Carefree Highway
4. Circle of Steel
5. Seven Island Suite
6. Too Late For Prayin'
7. Somewhere U.S.A.
8. Is There Anyone Home
9. High and Dry
10. The List

To me the list (as opposed to The List) doesn't begin to peter out in the least until you hit #8 and even then these are fine, well done songs. With the combination of really strong songs combined with about as perfect arrangement and production this album is about as good as it gets.
