| Seanchan 03/11/24 6:53:54 PM #9 | Something I always have to keep in mind is that I'm 5' 6'', ~150lbs.
I'll watch some videos on Youtube and see guys doing 200 pound OHP for reps. But most of those dudes are 6+ feet tall and 220+ pounds. Everyone's always talking raw numbers and not strength to weight. This one guy did something like a 220 lb OHP and mentioned that he's recovering from injuries and that's not yet a body weight rep. Granted, this motherfucker is built like a house and 100% objectively stronger than me by any measure. But it puts things in perspective. There is literally no way on Earth I will ever OHP 220 pounds. But I should be proud that I'm able to OHP 95% of my bodyweight, not dejected that it's only 65% of what this big ass dude is doing. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

Average - 20.14 Average without outliers (removing best and worst score) - 22 Rank without outliers - 25 6 - Johnbobb 19 - FoolFantastic 21 - HBJDubs 22 - Fluttershy_Pony 23 - MaxGalactica 25 - Sheep007 25 - Seanchan Fluttershy_Pony - Oof. I had this album in third place on my preliminary rankings, but I'm just... aggressively not in the mood for this right now. There are times when I love what this album is doing (see: the week we actually covered it and I was almost ecstatic about it), but right now I'm just.... not. I'm sorry. Try asking me again in a few months and this album might reclaim some of its former glory, but right now it's near the bottom. Seanchan - Very happy to see this come in last. Easily my least favorite album of this cycle. And actually my least favorite of all the albums we've covered in the 150+ weeks of Rank the Tracks. An aggressively annoying album that I found hard to listen to. I honestly have no idea who this is supposed to appeal to. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

My guess when this started was that Muse or Adele would come out the winner but we shall see. I've not spoiled the results for myself yet, so I genuinely don't know. With the Songs of the Cycle, every single album except 1 got votes, which was Sade - Love Deluxe. On the other side, only 1 album got votes from all 5 who submitted song lists, but I'll save that reveal for later. Also, every album except Love Deluxe had at least 2 different songs selected, with 2 different albums maxing out at 7 songs. In total, from the 125 song votes, there were 88 different songs selected. Or to put it another way, 28.5% of the 309 total songs garnered votes. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

On squat day I skipped back squats after I felt my usual right hip/glute discomfort even at very low weight. Instead I substituted a bunch more low weight Zercher sets. Max was 10 reps at 125. I'm kind of enjoying the very different feel of the Zerchers at the moment. Also did some leg press, which I'm not really a fan of, but it's better than nothing. OHP went really well on its day though. My shoulders were feeling the best they've felt in weeks with no soreness. Was able to do 2 singles at 142.5. First single felt really good and strong, just not enough in the tank for another rep. Took a brief rest and then was able to get another. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

I generally enjoyed them at the time, but it's really only the general look of the games that stuck with me.

| Seanchan 03/11/24 7:29:05 AM #13 | I somehow found myself watching 5 of the 10 Best Picture nominees this year. Of those, my ordering would be:
Poor Things > Past Lives > Oppenheimer > Barbie > Killers of the Flower Moon Poor Things was a fucking wild movie. Whatever ads and previews I saw on TV did not give away (to me at least) what that movie was truly about. Past Lives surprised me quite a bit. It's a movie of quiet, silence, and unspoken things. I could see many finding it to be boring and slow, yet I oddly enjoyed it very much. Oppenheimer was good but wasn't a real favorite of mine. Barbie was much more subversive than I expected. Absolutely not a movie for kids. Mostly enjoyable, with Ryan Gosling being the standout. I didn't really enjoy Killers of the Flower Moon. Lots of big names giving good performances but I didn't enjoy the plot. I just spent the entire movie waiting for DeNiro's character to get his comeuppance. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

I am not as high on 64 as most people - I feel like Banjo-Kazooie did a lot of things better than it just a short time later - and while it's a lot of people's favorite, I don't see a reason to put it above any of the four I included.

| Seanchan 03/10/24 2:13:33 PM #26 | Okay, after a second listen I want walk back my prior comments a bit. This is a genuinely good album and I see the appeal.
That said, I don't feel like this is a good album for a track ranking. This plays like an album (i.e., as a long singular piece), rather than a collection of songs. If you're not looking, it's very hard to know when a particular song begins or ends. And that's the point that bothers me a bit. I get wanting to share personal favorites, but are people asking themselves "is this a good choice for a track ranking?". As a personal example, I'm a big fan of Deadmau5's Random Album Title, but I'd never nominate it because it plays best as an album with the songs flowing into each other. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

| Seanchan 03/09/24 11:25:15 AM #21 | First listen done.
Maybe it wasn't such a good idea that I did a relisten to Disco Volante just before this, because while it's not in the same county it's certainly in the same country. Both sound like the bands did a whole bunch of drugs and just did a jam session. The only difference is Shpongle at least seems like they tried to make something palatable because this at least doesn't make me want to rip my ears off. Honestly, I'm just kind of sick of all the fucking instrumental, ambient, moody, "artsy" shit at this point. Not that all those (or sometimes any...) apply to every album this cycle, but lets just say it's not been a good last 4-5 weeks for my listening tastes. There's also the compounding factor of me listening to the bottom half dozen of Rank the Albums 6 in the past few days. So yeah, just venting a little; I know there's certainly people who feel the exact opposite of me on this stuff. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

I have no strong feelings on this album, I guess I kind of liked it? It really made me want to listen to that Japanese Breakfast album again (which I did and enjoyed more than this). Nothing super memorable outside of Nobody. I'm not a fan of long albums, but on the other side, 14 songs in 32 minutes is kind of whiplash. Also...not a great start for submissions with the new weekly timing. Hopefully this just people getting used to it (or not realizing)...

City are 100% going to have an eye on Liverpool. That's why it was such a massive result for them to be up by two coming home. They can kind of just coast. If you guys were to get an early goal, I think it'd be the best bet. Because it's really hard to switch from coasting to "Oh shit we have to get another goal" They have chosen option 2, and that's with the B team out there. ctesjbuvf posted... - Goalkeeper needs to bring A game He did not. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

That said, I think the Portal games still hold up better, though much of that has to do with them being puzzle games that will never be brought down by dated visuals or sparse environments. It really does suck that we will likely never get an Episode 3. Perhaps I'll get to play Alyx one day; I hear it's great but I don't want to spend all that money on VR.

I kind of loved this line. Ahead of acts like Third Eye Blind and Matchbox 20, Gin Blossoms had recognized a market for deceptively sordid minivan music. Fuck...those are pretty decent comparisons that never came into my mind. Both of those though have songs I remember fondly because they became big when I was a bit more aware of music. Its as if the bitter details cut too harshly against their docile image to become lore. If listeners rarely consider them as a tragic band, its because its much more gratifying to think of them how theyre most widely knownas just the Gin Blossoms, a group unburdened by expectations of coolness or relevance, whose meek demeanor disguises some undeniable riffs, and whose signature earworms, despite decades of exposure, somehow never seem to burn out. Some bands are defined by their tragedies. Others simply carry on in spite of them. I certainly didn't know about that backstory. Doesn't really change my opinions on the album at all. The summation seems pretty spot on. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |
