(First Thoughts:

YouTube commenters posted...

Note the lyrics... almost prophetic.

Your words are important and good.

The lyrics are so meaningful.

Supercharges your spirit.

Apex Theory sang...

Tiny tip is tired and will not tolerate toilet tokens!

*twitch*

The sad part is that I cant tell if everyones being sarcastic or not...)

Im glad to have a chance to listen to a style of music that doesnt get nominated oftenagain, not that I actually know genres of music, but rapcore doesnt seem like a thing Ive had much exposure to, if any.

Perhaps with more familiarity with the style, I could have a better appreciation for the way it (Im told) combines a variety of styles & mixes serious and nonsensical lyrical together to create... whatever it was I just listened to.

...that or Id still just see the overly alliterative sections as more annoying than anything else and still give this a terrible score. One or the other, probably.

[Later: I would either like this more -OR- I wouldnt, probably one of those two things

Hard to believe were not being paid for such brilliant insights...]

[Final Thoughts: I think Ill try one more song by them after the ranking ends. Different enough to be worth the second chance, probably.]

559: STURGILL SIMPSON - LIVING THE DREAM:

Nominator: Xeybozn (18/20)

Revised Score: 36.55 [#538]
Final Score: 36.55 [#559]

(First Thoughts: Nah. Im sure you thought I dont have to do a Goddamn thing except sit around and wait to die would count as the type of sad Im looking for, but...no. Partly because the song isnt actually sad, partly because waiting to die is a bit too far on the scale of bleakness if it were trying to be sad.)

Im dropping this a bit on the second listen. I blame the multiple references to God, even sarcastic references feels like more than I want to deal with tonight; factor in that I was never really a fan of the song and yeah, its easy to see why this is dropping a few spaces this time.

Beyond that... I do like some traditional country sounding songs, so the genre and actual performance are fine, but I have no interest in the lyrics. Dont see much point listening to this when I could just find a country song with lyrics that I actually like.

[Final Thoughts: Nothin else to add. Its a perfectly fine song, but just not one I want to hear at this point.]
