| Topic | Rank the Tracks Week 79: Protest the Hero's Palimpsest (+ Ataris results) |
| Raetsel_Lapin 09/08/22 4:43:22 PM #23 | 1.All Hands 2.Harborside 3.Little Snakes 4.Rivet 5.Reverie 6.Gardenias 7.Hillside 8.Mountainside 9.Soliloquy 10.The Canary 11.From the Sky 12.The Migrant Mother 13.The Fireside General Comments: Having listened to this three times now, I still don't know how I actually feel about this album. Progressive metal isn't exactly my favorite genre of metal and there are several songs here that I very aggressively dislike--I do not care for intense or epic drumming and there's a LOT of that here. To an actively painful degree at times. And yet, there's also at least one absolutely fantastic song that I love & I like the themes of the album. The darker side of American history with genocide, mass incarceration, suicide... I'd say that I generally enjoy the stories they chose to tell and the lyrics used to tell them. So this is simultaneously 'a very cohesive album that tells compelling stories & featuring an incredibly high scoring song, the likes of which few albums can ever attain' and 'actively painful at times, in ways that I hate'. I have absolutely no idea how I would score this album as a whole (though, I suspect, having a 9/10 song will place this on the higher end of this cycle's "Rank the Albums" regardless), but I guess I'm thankful we covered it? It's all over the place with incredibly high and low scoring songs, but it's never boring at least. All Hands: I actively love this song and feel that it fully justified ranking the album just to get a chance to listen to it. Harborside: A surprisingly beautiful instrumental that would be a true highlight if only it were a bit longer... I feel the minute long runtime does not leave the listener enough time to fully soak in and appreciate it, though what is here is fantastic. --- I'm not who you think I am And even if I thought you'd known, I never would have told you so |

| Raetsel_Lapin 09/07/22 9:35:47 PM #19 | I've gone through it once, hoping to finish the ranking tomorrow. I'm not entirely sure how I feel about the album thus far... to a point that I'll hold off saying anything more specific for now, I'm afraid. Definitely working on it though. --- I'm not who you think I am And even if I thought you'd known, I never would have told you so |
