And thank both of you kindly.

Was this directed at me? Cuz War can claim this because he has been offering for a while

*shrugs*

You were the most recent person to make an offer for Kris, but War could also make the save. It really doesn't matter.

Or, neither of you really have to because I didn't properly confirm with either of you before posting, so I could hardly complain.

That's from Be isn't it?

Indeed! It's a very strange musical journey, but one that was brought to my attention at the perfect time. I was at my peak of my "into strange things" phase & searching for something that evoked the sort of feelings that Be does.

Alas, it's hard to nominate it places because the very strangeness that compels me renders it quite impractical at something like Rate the Tracks... as much as I'd like to hear people's thoughts on it, it really isn't designed for people to judge each track separately.

CJones posted...

Does this mean you like showtunes?

Raka is the board's resident showtune expert, but they nominated quite a few musical songs (including two from Cats; one from the film, one not) that have yet to be eliminated so I'd say I at least generally like the category.

Pain of Salvation - Iter Impius

Whoa, you nominated that one?! Awesome! I love that song and album! Sadly, the album is a bit too weird to be something I can nominate anywhere... which is why I love it.

For anyone who might be interested: FoolFantastic runs a series where we collectively listen to an album & rank the tracks from it. This week we're covering "Sonata Arctica - Ecliptica", a metal album that I think may be of interest to some people over here. Anyone can participate, so if you have an interest in the band, do feel free to pop in this week!

if you want to hear a version of the song without bouncing audio, you could check out this live version:

My first thought is that I prefer the album version. The live one feels... faster? That could be my imagination, but the album track has a much more mellow feel while the live track is livelier.

Though first impressions aren't worth much and I'll admit I may be favoring the nominated one due to a familiarity bias.

this is such a mood

I'm glad you enjoy it!

...Or feel strongly about it, at least!

CJones posted...

Yeah, we definitely have different tastes in music.

That's the fun part: I'm fundamentally incompatible with everyone's tastes and anything that seems like compatibility can be dismissed as atmospheric noise.

I shall add that song to the post-ranking list. Fair warning though, I know nothing about the Wheel of Time.

...is that the one with Rand Al'Thor or whatever his name was? With that balefire thing? He was nominated at some Most Powerful Character contests, so I'm aware he exists.

Alright, slight change of plans: This topic shall take Christmas Day off; I personally don't celebrate, but it feels *wrong* to eliminate something on such a major holiday. And I'll be reorganizing Neo Clump so that all of a nominator's eliminated songs are clumped together--it just feels like it flows better if every song a nominator has that's inexplicably tied with each other goes out simultaneously, instead of this overly convoluted jumble of songs.

Happy holidays and we'll resume on the 26th.

And while it shouldn't impact anything in this topic, I have finally finished assigning a Final Score to everything! While I'll continue listening to each song before they are eliminated and giving extra points as desired, there is a finished list. Took just over a year: Nominations started on December 18th 2021 & the final score was assigned on December 23rd 2022.

So the scores aren't quite as final as they claim to be, but it's still an important milestone.

Bump.

*Reality TV continues to be un-eliminated. Will it escape Neo Clump or will I finally be able to rremove this asterisk?

And because I liked the percentage remaining chart NBIceman made and think it would be interesting data to post right before a new tier, I shall now steal that idea:

Zazi: 82.14%
kateee: 80.95%
handsomeboy: 80.65%
NBIceman: 77.27%
Ark: 76.47%
Jesse Custer: 75.86%

And in total 60.2% of songs made it to the 60 point tier.

...*blinks*... well that's an interesting coincidence.

That would make far more sense. Sadly, I don't have any good merch links... the albums are kinda old & they're not exactly the most well-known band so I wouldn't even know where to begin looking.

Bonestorm

Offering standard trade for Koopa, if anyone's interested.

I'll try to remember to add that song to the list tomorrow.

I'm not sure where you need to get your music from, but you can find the Dear Hunter's albums on YouTube easily enough (if that is an option):

Act II:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5B95136021242104

Act IV:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-XbTEkQt3TbYBaBPpd0D6q59_neZtB5N

If you have Spotify, they can be found there as well:

Act II:
https://open.spotify.com/album/3bxQpENBvT3gHgM9Q7Z20K?si=8829d9fac1994c6e

Act IV:
https://open.spotify.com/album/0TCkVVN1AfEtMP3IjVD1Zi?si=2b458696e3c747bb

If those aren't an option, you can get the first three on Bandcamp--looks as though you can stream all three of those albums for free, with reasonable prices if you need/want to purchase some digital downloads:

https://bandcamp.com/tag/the-dear-hunter

I am unable to find further free options for Act IV, though if you somehow had a SoundCloud Go+ account then it would be available for streaming through them. ...I don't know that anyone has such an account and didn't even know there was a paid SoundCloud service, but... I mean, it's hypothetical that you could (you don't, but I'll post it anyway):
