[Sgood.]

...Again, thank you past me, for that insightful commentary.

It is a good song, basically a much improved version of Brake Lights. You get the same general "work sucks" message, but these guys are easier to understand and have more...provocative lyrics? Imaginative lyrics? I don't think either of those are the right term, but I can't come up with another one right now. You know what I mean though, right? Like:

"These ties strangle our necks, hanging in the closet" is a stronger line than the Bombpops complaining about a boss on her ass, in every possible definition of stronger. This is also a more intense song--not overwhelmingly intense, but Brake Lights was so upbeat it was practically a pop song at times.

Not that Brake Lights wasn't good too...I fear I'm being too harsh on it. Perhaps past me knew what she was doing leaving the write-up at "S'good" without trying to explain the reasoning...

[May be undervalued because it has the misfortune of following Pure Data. Well see how I feel on a second trip through the list, once its randomized and I have a better grasp on what all has been nominated.]

Try not to read too far into the intentionally vague thoughts on Pure Data; considering how radically the scores have shifted on almost every song since the first listen, it doesn't really matter what was meant by it.

Looking at the game cover, I'm just now realizing that I have no idea what Phantom Dust is. I always thought it was a multiplayer mech combat game, like a BattleTech or Mechwarrior type thing. Checking gameplay videos, I see I was wrong on just about everything.

Song is interesting. It's certainly different and unique, but it doesn't bring any specific imagery to mind or let me enter a trance-like state like Focus Tous did, which keeps it from attaining greatness.

[Final Thoughts: Well, you can probably piece together that Pure Data was one of the songs to have a 10 for the first impression; between NFUN's highest ranked song referencing that some early songs had 10s, that we're running out of early songs that line could have been referencing, and how many times I've mentioned songs seeming worse because they directly followed one I really enjoyed... there's not much point trying to be coy about it right now.

Of course, considering that we just had multiple 9s drop, I wouldn't advise putting too much stock in what the initial impressions were anyway.]
