Zach Bryan’s ‘Young Manhood and Other Donatable Organs’: Every Song Ranked

It’s been less than a year since Zach Bryan put out his last album, With Heaven on Top, a 25-track opus that debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 dated Jan. 24, 2026.

Estamos escolhendo nossos favoritos no novo EP de Bryan.

Mas parece que o prolífico Bryan ainda tinha mais a dizer.

Today (Oct. 16), he releases the intriguingly titled Young Manhood and Other Donatable Organs, an eight-song EP solely written, per usual, by the Oklahoma singer-songwriter.

In his relatively short, extremely successful career, Bryan has paired with such artists as Bruce Springsteen, The War and Treaty, and Kacey Musgraves (on the 2023 Billboard Hot 100 chart-topping duet, “I Remember Everything”), and he continues his collaborative ways on Young Manhood and Other Donatable Organs, partnering with Lana Del Rey on “Lies,” and with the Turnpike Troubadours on “Plainsman.”.

The album may be short — it clocks in around 28 minutes — but it packs a wallop in its diversity with Bryan incorporating strings on “Lies” and veering out of his usual mid-tempo safety zone on such tracks as “Dog Days,” as well as choosing some truly inspired opening samples for a few songs.

The lyrics are more suggestive than literal and often inscrutable, but Bryan still manages to set an unsettling mood and feeling with almost every song. If marriage has brought a new happiness — he wed last December — it hasn’t found its ways into his music, which is actually a good thing.

Não há nada aqui que tenha a doçura de uma canção de amor como o “Sun to Me” de 2022. O mundo precisa do Bryan ousado.

Below, Billboard ranks each of the EP’s eight tracks.
