| Fluttershy_Pony 12/01/20 11:43:06 AM #159: | ================= 512: THE DEAR HUNTER - REMEMBERED: https://open.spotify.com/track/0miS15DAUt0eNtVAszSo8A Nominator: NBIceman (21/22) Source: Act IV: Rebirth in Reprise (14/15) Initial Score: 49.98 [#421] Revised Score: 45.37 [#483] Final Score: 44.80 [#512] (First Thoughts: One of the least memorable tracks, in spite of its title.) Putting aside any terrible jokes about this song being unmemorable, this is another of those songs that I just have nothing to say about. Its a rather sleepy song, not quite a lullaby but not as far as removed from one as youd expect & most of the lyrics do nothing for me. Im stuck on a path to my own ruin is a nice lyric that kinda hits the level of angst or sadness I want, but one line alone cannot salvage a songs score. [Final Thoughts: Song is so sleepy that I kinda wish it had just gone for a lullaby type sound... at this point, they might as well have leaned into it and went all the way.] =============== ================= 511: HIVE - INSIDE THE HIVE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKP81HLMm0c Nominator: DoctorJimmy133 (19/27) Source: Jimmys extra songs (7/7) Initial Score: 41.17 [#500] Revised Score: 45.92 [#478] Final Score: 44.90 [#511] (First Thoughts: A very drum heavy song that is reasonably impressive, but not for me in the least.) Id like to give you some bonus points for the album cover, but Im really trying not to do that this year. This isnt something I usually do, but Im going to take a quick look at some other songs on the album, because while I dont like this, I... well there was a furry on the album cover and thats worth a second chance. Also the reviews of the album are leading me to think you just picked the wrong song. Weapons of Mass Destruction: ...Wait, Flash Gordon?! ...Thats... ....but... I.... *blinks in confusion* What are the odds that all my earlier rambling about Flash Gordon would be strangely relevant at another writeup so much later? This is freaky. Anywayinteresting choices of samples. Im not sure how much I like it, but I have a positive feeling about it... lets say high 50s? It does drag on a bit. Devious Methods: Its a good sample, but the song itself is slow and plodding... I want to like it (and parts of it do feel unsettling in a good way), but its missing something... probably about the same score as the nominated track; slightly more, but not enough to have an appreciable difference in the rankings. I want to listen to the very long, three part track... but I do not have time today. Ask me again when this song is eliminated. [Final Thoughts: Still dont have time to listen to the almost ten minute long song, but I can add it to the list ZALIST (in no particular order) While the nominated song isnt quite to my tastes, something about it is inspiring to give the album a lot more chances than I normally would.. so thats probably worth something.] ================= --- A not very secret alt account for when Raetsel wants to be a pony ...
