Nominator: Flamander/Glacier (15/15)

(0.5, "I've run out of negative numbers", 0)

[Different, but not different enough is the phrase that came to mind when it started. Then, after the violin solo, my reaction was too classic and old-fashioned. Then I noticed how long the song was going to be and sighed.

Parts of it are alright. The electric guitar isnt bad, I never hate saxophone playing (though it goes on too long on a song that was already too long, I was briefly happy to hear it), and then we still had five minutes left to endure. Very instruments. Much long.

There are long songs I enjoy (a few were nominated last topic), but this wasnt one of them.]

Okay, so now I have a tiny Bluetooth keyboard. Not a good one and typing is somewhat difficult due to all the keys being out of place (will never adjust to tiny backspace key), but it's probably easier than on-screen keyboard.



The score for the second Round of listening is so absurdly low because I gave the song I wanted to award last place to a perfect "0"*. Then kept finding songs I liked less, resulting in scores spiraling below 0 and eventually an exasperated declaration that I was running out of ways to award negative scores.

...that may have been a tad harsh and all negative scores have been officially bumped up to 0s for the actual ranking. Yay?



Soo...long song. Ridiculously over-the-top long song. That's not a deal breaker by itself (from last topic, I believe it was "Graves" that had a long running time but was so intense with its music and story telling that I was enthralled), but this track just never works for me. Parts of it are fine, but if you want my attention for almost 20 minutes, I need more than fine--even if you just isolated the few parts I like and removed the rest of the fluff, this probably wouldn't get too great of a score anyway. More than 0, sure, but not great.

...Honestly kinda tempted to move some other song down to last place and give this a 0.1 in respect of the sax, but... nah.

[Later Edit: Well for better or worse, that saxophone kept this song from coming in dead last after all.]

[Final Thoughts: *Obviously said song will be indicated when it drops. You'll also note that we move into "actual numbers" after that point--really, I should have stopped being stubborn and gave it some points, but I refused to give in and now we have a large cascade of zeroed songs as I refuse to let the joke die.

...Though as I said, a 0 is a compliment in its own way when it comes to me, so I can justify it. Sorta.]
