| Raetsel_Lapin 11/21/20 5:09:28 PM #41: | Ill try to make a note of that album. Theres always a point after the rankings where I go through all the suggestions posted in the topic and do at least a quick listen. ...I should probably just start making that list now so things will be easier to find later. ZALIST (in no particular order) Live & Piano Opera songs from the Deluxe versions of the albums which could have been nominated, but werent. (Strangely the playlist provided for Throwin Copper included one of the three songs from the Deluxe Album, but not the other two.) Low Road was a song Snake accidentally posted, other two songs were nominated and then replaced with different nominations. (There was a Killswitch Engage song that was nominated and replaced, but I already listened to it once) =============== R#5: MELODY FROM THE PAST: https://open.spotify.com/track/0PeQU83EknjL152aJrtXAx Nominator: Shonen_Bat (9/27) Source: History Repeating Red (2/10) Initial Score: 80.00 [R#20] Revised Score: 72.10 [R#16] Final Score: 100 [R#5] (First Thoughts: Mega Man 3s ending theme was the most beautiful thing I had ever heard. I thought i was someone who could never feel anything from instrumental tracks, but there was so much emotion and power in that theme that it was a revelation. That I could be moved by such a song was amazing, and that they did it all with the limits of the NES chip, and without even being one of the most complicated of NES songs... it was positively amazing and for a time, I may have actually considered it the greatest song to have ever been written. And then I heard this song which, frankly, ruined it. It works so much better with sad, digitized whistling instead of lyrics... but Ive heard this so often that I cant listen to the original without hearing all of these lyrics in my head. All the beauty and simplicity is gone, replaced with THIS, and I can never truly experience the original ever again. Dont get me wrong, I still like this. A cover of greatness is still somewhat great; I like the characterization of Protoman here, with him finding some forgiveness for his father and choosing to make his own path. And its still a song by one of my favorite bands, so i cant truly hate it. Well, I do hate it, but I also love it, and its complicated.) I still like it, but I feel like being harsher to the song tonight than I did when I made those first thoughts. An apology, so sorry for the man he was Really, the songs score depends almost entirely on how I feel about that verse at the time. Sometimes that verse really gets me and I could be persuaded to give the song the full 100 points... other days, like now, its good, but not quite good enough to raise its score any further. Try asking on another day and maybe this wins first place among the R#s, but not as of the time of this writing. [Final Thoughts: A song with a placement thats always in flux, today happens to be a day that I really want to hear it and am vibing with it quite strongly.] =============== --- Temporary Signature ...
