It just occurred to me, I should have nominated some Opeth. Pretty much all of their songs are bleak.The second track from Blackwater Park (generally regarded as their best album), is literally called "Bleak" :P I remember that band! Kinda! I know they had at least one song nominated somewhere... *rummages through archives* ============ #641: Opeth - Reverie/Harlequin Forest (11:39): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIo3lpXrc5A Nominator: Ark [16/17 Remaining] Initial Score: 56.40 Revised Score: 56.36 Final Score: 55.00000006 (First Reaction: Another song that decides to play a commercial in the middle of the song, right around the 5 minute mark. Sadly, I just got a generic Domino's Pizza commercial: Nocturnally helpless and weak in the light Ah well, we can't always get the brilliance of mashing up Mozart's Requiem with "Return of the Mack". Sometimes we just get a completely bland ad for completely bland pizza. I'll switch to a Spotify link for the future listens, so we won't have to worry about a commercial distracting me from all listens. Slightly on-topic: i like the melodic parts, the metal growling pulls me out of the song entirely. It's somewhere between the mid-40's to mid-60's, so I'm going to kinda average the score at place it in the mid-50's for the Initial Score. I'll hopefully talk more on topic during the Revised Score.) !Unfortunately, I'm not really pulled into the story they're telling here. Most of the song is spent on a type of symphonic metal that I enjoy, but without any attachment to the story or lyrics this is just eleven and a half minutes of pleasantly pleasing music with occasional growling thrown in. Definitely a mid-50's type song; it's far too pleasant and of an appealing genre to drop any lower, but I don't connect with it enough to say that I really like it. It's just...really nice. [Final Thoughts: A good band and a good genre of song, but it never hits me in a way that elevates it beyond the "kinda like" tier. Though making it this far is still a decent accomplishment.] [Later: Good genre of song & it's performed well, I'm also more in the mood for metal growl yelling lyrics this month so I'll even offer some praise for the song's outro--it's difficult for most artists to pull off that sort of growl, while still having the lyrics be (fairly) easily understood as actual words. But while I don't have any complaints, it's another of those "I also don't have any moments that I want to specifically praise or focus on either" tracks, so it slots in a few spaces above the Wall.] ========================" So, apparently we liked the band, but felt the song was a bit long & perhaps a bit too metal (though we were coming around on the growling by the third listen). So I'd advise picking something under 11 minutes, but we'll try anything, so don't think of that as a requirement. --- Currently in the mood to have a signature, though unsure of what. |

| Topic | Luce, Fluttershy, and Raetsel rank 361+ songs [Rankings] |
| Fluttershy_Pony 05/12/24 7:04:47 PM #106 | Good news: Having gone over every song with Initial Scores under 60 points, there are no plans for any remaining songs to score less then 58 points! (It's *possible* that something later on could be moved down, though fairly unlikely). So we can actually go back to having rankings and pretending this is a coherent ranking topi!
Less Good News: I need to take the rest of the night off now. It took a few hours to go over the rest of the songs to confirm that none of them were being cut prior to the Nebula & now I have a *slight issue* in that there's a... stupidly large amount of songs with vague "at least 58 points" values that need to be given specific values and sorted into a list. Things should be back on track starting tomorrow, but it's going to take me a few hours to sort through that mess and I don't have the time this evening. Average News: Every song posted now has an official placement! (Except for the un-eliminated Robot Stop. Just pretend that one didn't happen.) #401: Finger #400: Makeba #399: Star Spangled Man #398: Welcome to the Black Parade #397: Pandasan Youchien #396: Telephone's Theme #395: Skibidi Bop Yes Yes x Bloody Mary #394: The Order of Spiritual Virgins #393: Growing Up #392: Cell Block Tango #391: Pikkie De Ekster #390: Philosophy of he World #389: Goblin Slayer #388: The Rightful King #387: devilla6ue #386: Announcement #385: Too Cool Theme #384: Alien Orifice #383: How to Listen III: #382: He tulivat taivaan rist #381: Blackbird #380: Grad Erlija -Retrospektiva- #379: Anchordeep #378: Janet #377: Brained by Falling Msonry #376: (He'll never be an) Ol Man River #375: Primavera-Hana Furu Hi #374: Carry On Wayward Son #373: From Now On #372: Chop Suey! #371: Goner #370: Surrender #369: The Fallen Empire #368: dial m17 #367: Code: Crimson (Extended Length) #366: Bow Down, You Ignorant Fools! #365: Earth #364: Headspace #363: (Nendest) narkootikumidest ei tea me... #362: RULES OF TEKKEN #361: Love Yourself #360: Kumo no Kanata #359: Winter Madness #358: Death Approaches #357: Solid Gold Tooth #356: Gwen, the Hallowed Seamstress #355: Concertino in Blue #353 [TIE]: Song 2 #353 [TIE]: Eleanor Rigby #352: Sukuinote #351: The two cradles / stage2 #350: Comme Des Garons (Like the Boys) Unrelated News: How did I cover "devilla6ue" without mentioning that the title gets "Bobby Vee | Devil or Angel" stuck in my head every time I see the name? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jz4cOMjtkaA ...It's not relevant, but it would fill space and is an honest reaction.

| Fluttershy_Pony 05/12/24 9:14:03 AM #34 | I don't know if I'll have time to squeeze in listens to all three versions, but I'm sure I'll be happy with any of them. This is just a song I jumped on towards the end because I liked it more than most others that were getting traction, so it's not something I have a strong or personal attachment to. I'd definitely advise giving more weight to the other supporters opinion.
I very much appreciate your dedication in uploading all the different versions & inviting me to join the discussion though! --- Currently in the mood to have a signature, though unsure of what. |
