I'm probably going to throw off my rankings by changing the numbers, but I feel there's a notable jump in quality starting at this point. So I'm jumping the scores of these two songs (and the songs to still come after this that only had 6 points) up to 6.5

...That may confuse things when I hit songs that I had given 6.5s to in the future, but we'll deal with that when we get to that point.

[One of several songs I have no reaction to at all, Im afraid.]

I want to love this. It has one of the best song titles in history, I really like the singer's voice--he reminds me of a young Gordon Lightfoot for some reason:

As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see.

Great line, even if I can't find a logical reason to bring it up. I'm probably the only one who inexplicably finds a connection between the singers' voices anyway.



Aaanywho, this guy has a great voice. Good band. I just never seem to connect with any of the lyrics--I'm trying, I just listened to this five times in a row practically begging the song to give me SOMETHING I can use to justify giving this a very high score too, but I still have no emotional connection to it. Which is unfortunate because I really, really want to love this--it's a modern progressive rock band fronted by someone that could be Gordon Lightfoot's successor if he wanted to be, singing a song with an amazing title!!--but...no.

[These stomping grounds in this magic land are soon to leave us if you know what I mean.

...I dont.]

This song is bothering me because it's reminding me so much of a different song, but I can't recall enough of the other song to find it. It's that guitar sequence that starts five seconds in and repeats throughout almost the entire song; I swear there's a different song with a female singer going "ahh" for those exact notes (ah ah ah, ah-ah-ah ah-ah-ah) but my searches aren't getting anywhere. Turns out there are a lot of songs with "ah" in them and none of the ones anyone talks about follow that note sequence.

Song is fine, feels more 70s than 80s to me, like this song would have felt retro even when it was new, which is fine. I just can't focus on it right now.

[Final Thoughts: I'm still bothered by the fact that I can't tell if the song I can hear in my head actually exists or not.

Good song though! I do like it, though I never fully connect with it. I decided to have it tie with False Memory Archive at the literal last possible moment here because I find my thoughts on the songs to be awfully similar; good songs, good singer, somehow both familiar and new at the same time, but...not something I'm in love with, as much as I want to be.]
