Remember that the current last placer got a score of 4/100. On the second listen, it was bumped up enough to become the first song in the ranking to get above average in every category. So what changed? I dont know. At first I found the guitar strumming repetitive, and Vedders vocals were all over the place. But I learned to appreciate it.

The chorus is still repetitive but I dont mind it nearly as much, and Im able to appreciate the overwhelming melancholy reflection the song evokes. Lesson to take away: always, always relisten. ...
