I figured It Remembers would be the one that would appeal to you more of the clean vocal songs

And I'm glad you would have Petal so highly! As hard as it is it to listen to, lyrically. But that's totally my shit, I love bleak depressing stuff like that. There's one more song from the album I'm extra curious to see your thoughts on, I won't spoil it yet to set expectations or anything though.

I don't think she was too much hammier than Jack and Maugeurite tbh, of course we've only seen a little so far but both Jack and Maugeurite hammed it up a bit even with the horror

VIIIage seems to go harder on the camp that the series has become known for,

Really? I was feeling that it's like Resident Evil 4 without as much of the camp, thus a Resident Evil 7 take on Resident Evil 4

To be fair the greater mythos of Resident Evil is kinda really fucking stupid at this point. And I love the series!

yea Resi 7 still felt just like Resident Evil to me, enemy variety was definitely the one glaring issue with it so we'll see if they'll address that here. I think there being actual human-esque enemies helps already with that, the problem with having Mold enemies is even some variations still look like.....black blobs

I love how blatantly it's literally just Resident Evil 4 in Resident Evil 7 style lol, like I'm fully for that if it's done well. And it looks good so far.

Also DAMN that Merchant is a BIG BOI

I also need to go back and see exactly which ones Bane was talking about,

Oh yea I'm pretty sure amo would be your favorite of theirs, TTS you would probably be fine with considering you've basically been ranking most of them here, Sempiternal miiiight be a bit heavy but you've been ranking some of them here already and you could see where they really started putting electronic influences in, and There Is A Hell would definitely be too heavy for you for most songs but it's still in my opinion their best album and that was where they started incorporating those orchestral and general outside genre influences. I don't think you would be able to get through Suicide Season (even though I do think it's still a fun album) and we don't have to talk about Count Your Blessings lol

ah man, I remember when Drown first came out and it was like "whoa they can actually pull off poppy-ish style songs quite well", really really great. I haven't really listened through this Royal Albert Hall album but can attest to the quality of the originals of all the songs (Although looking at the two you have left, Oh No is probably my second least favorite song on the original album it's from lol)

Meganium of all Pokemon being the biggest thing on the cover is absolutely hilarious to me

On rails is 10000000% fine to me, I loved the original for a reason (well, many reasons) and the more they embody the spirit of the original the better. It certainly could possibly work in open field but also could mess with it as well. For a game like this I'm fine if they make it a bit safer, just expanding and trying to improve on the original. More than 200 but less than 300 is fine, would have liked a BIT more like 400-ish maybe but if it's well crafted that's fine.

This reminded me to check up on those pin missions since I got the 1st set of pins, I almost was unable to get to 15 unless I went to a fucking Cold Stone Creamery until I decided to look into the BoxLunch whatever one anyway that said expired Jan 1st but it luckily gave me the completion for it. So now I think I'll be able to hit the 15 mark with the pre-order

oh and comments on Revival Mode itself, yea I love the "So I thank you for bearing witness while I waste my fucking life" build up. Also his delivery on "I should have learned a more noble craft". And the chorus is very catchy.

Also I realized I've mostly been commenting on lyrics and stuff that Keith does, but I do absolutely love the riffs and instrumentals don't get me wrong. Jordan his brother on guitar and Andy the other guitarist are geniuses at coming up with fantastic pieces.

lol yea see told you I had a feeling!

Even though the albums weren't your favorite, glad you found some songs to like! The band is extremely near and dear to my heart, I've seen them in concert 5 times now (which isn't crazy a lot but a fair amount) and their shows are always super fun. Twice on a boat, one time on Halloween where they all costumed and played as a different fictional band they made up, once outside right next to a beach in summer, and once on the final Vans Warped Tour where I got to meet them and take a picture with them all after the show. The boat shows in particular were intense, it was EXTREMELY intimate and the band was playing right above us with no barriers or anything. The ceiling to the room on the boat they were playing would always break and get holes in it from people crowdsurfing and jumping by the end, that's how intimate it was. Also home to my favorite concert memory, when they closed the first boat show with the song Indian Giver (yep one of the songs here!) I happened to be standing near the side of the stage by the stairs towards the front the whole show, and for the ending section of the song they actively started wanting people on the stage and I was one of the first up there. Ended up going shoulder to shoulder with Keith and holding him as he sang out the last part and then I managed to get over to Jordan the guitarist and helped lift him up in the air as he played the final notes. It was insane and such a good closing.

Anyway, now to my further recommendations. I fought with myself on whether to nominate it but decided to go with these two albums, but you would probably like their most recent album the most. It also happens to be my favorite album from them too. They have 2 songs on it that have completely clean (sung) vocals, and the lyrics are as fantastic as ever. Two other ones that I'll put here that you might either absolutely hate or absolutely love because of the lyrics I think, one having to do with cults and the other being probably their absolute bleakest song lyrically having to do with Keith's wife (now very recently separated sadly) struggle with giving birth to their daughter and how they almost both died. I think checking out the whole album would be worth it, also you might like their more groovy Southern-riff songs so The Big Dirty is a good album for those things. Honestly every album of their has stuff to come to for it.

At risk of probably jinxing it, I'm shocked how long my last song has been staying in. Earlier on I thought I was gonna be totally out by the 300's or so, and even with my second to last going out I thought my last was gonna be quite soon after. Although Revival Mode being the last isn't the most surprising, it is one of their not quite as intense sounding songs.

Ah yea Keith's explanation for the title is very fun, and Brian Fallon is the lead singer of the band The Gaslight Anthem so yea you should go check them out if he interests you, they really broke out in the late 00's or so. As for my favorite parts of the song, I do like dogless master and masterless dog. And the ending is pretty fun as it ramps up slightly.

Also I think I might only have Revival Mode left for my songs? I could be mistaken though.

I honestly didn't watch many shows that had fights so God of High School was my biggest source lol, but then I remembered Shirou's introduction fight in BNA episode 1 that was so cool (that he sadly didn't live up to for the rest of the series) and got me really hyped. It's fairly short but sweet. But anyway, yea GoHS had some fun fight stuff, even with how the show ended up going.

Wow, I considered voting for it because I loved the show (clearly, as we go along with other categories) but I was going back and forth on if the idea segments were enough to push it, not that the regular segments didn't look good too. But happy to have it win!

+5 Great Pretender
+3 BNA
+1 Jujutsu Kaisen

I mostly did Great Pretender for how much I loved its background style and BNA for that Trigger goodness
