Every song ranked from best to worst on Machine Gun Kelly's Lost Americana
We are taking a look at all thirteen tracks from Machine Gun Kelly's Lost Americana album.
1.Can’t Stay Here
It's the track that showcases Machine Gun Kelly's talent at its best. The song is vocally and lyrically powerful, emphasizing his growth in music. Fans also describe the track as highly emotionally resonant.
2. Orpheus
Although it's listed as one of the songs that appears near the end of the album, the track is artistically bold, offering glimpses of creativity and new directions.
3. Don’t Wait, Run Fast
The track is high-energy and catchily infectious. It’s one of those songs from the album that can be described as reminiscent of Machine Gun Kelly’s best pop-rock moments.
4. Starman
The track is written by Stephan Jenkins, the lead singer of Third Eye Blind. He contributed as a songwriter on the track, which combines Machine Gun Kelly’s modern alt-rock style with Jenkins’ signature melodic sensibility, making the track overall well-executed.
5. Outlaw Overture
An opening song of the album, written by MGK. The song features strong vocals in the second half, setting an emotional and thematic tone, making it perfect as an opening track.
6. Vampire Diaries
The song features Travis Baker as its producer, along with Brandon "SlimXX" Allen, BazeXX, and Nick Long. The song itself is short and punchy; it reminds one of MGK’s earlier pop-punk era.
7. Indigo
The song stands out from the list because of its grounded writing and tighter execution. Of all the tracks on the album, Indigo is one of the few rap-oriented songs.
8. Treading Water
The song is beautifully written by Derek Smith and Travis Baker. It is regarded as one of the album's most heartfelt tracks by fans, as it offers a strong emotional weight combined with surreal lyrics.
9. Cliché
It was one of the songs that was released before the album was announced. The track combines ironic and poppy, along with a satirical tone that blends in with the track just perfectly.
10. Miss Sunshine
A track that barely lasts three minutes, but is described as a quirky one with a retro vibe, that somehow feels uninspired in execution. While it does not stand out on the album, it feels more like background music than something memorable.
11. Goddamn
Also written by Travis Baker, the track was expected to be a hit but faced criticism for feeling lifeless and repetitive, lacking the energy to keep the listener's interest.
12. Sweet Coraline
The track is being viewed as a weak track from the album, both lyrically and energy-wise, too, making it the least memorable track from the album.
13. Tell Me What’s Up
'Tell Me What’s Up' is the last track on this list from the album. Although the song opens beautifully, it quickly feels uninspired and is hindered by weak delivery.
Trending
In the trailer, Bob Dylan described the album as a journey through forgotten places and a celebration of freedom and reinvention. Dylan’s words evoke imagery of neon diners and a merging of past and future on one’s own terms, according to Billboard.
In a recent interview with People, Machine Gun Kelly stated that he refuses to be trapped by society’s expectations and believes critics are simply conformists who dislike him without a real reason. He also mentioned that his main goal is to entertain, and he thinks that entertainment should never be taken too seriously.
