434: BENNIE BENJAMIN & GLORIA CALDWELL - DONT LET ME BE MISUNDERSTOOD:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKYNqfx2ahc

Nominator: Mega_Mana (16/18)
Source: Megas Extra Noms (4/5)

Initial Score: 52.26 [#345]
Revised Score: 54.46 [#373]
Final Score: 51.38 [#434]

(First Thoughts: Ive only heard The Animals version of this song. Didnt know it was a cover; wonder what the original sounded like? Remind me to check up on that when this song is actually eliminated.

Either way, I dont think this works too well as an instrumental. It just seems lacking now.)

Without the lyrics, the song just feels incomplete. Its good enough that I like it, but Im left wanting...an actual finished version or something.

Somehow this song feels like the theme for a guest party member in an RPG that never fully joins. Like therell be an unwinnable boss battle, we cut to all the main characters on their knees talking about hopeless everything is, and then THIS MUSIC plays and CHARISMATIC RIVAL shows up (most likely standing on top of a large cliff, or wall, or some other IMPROBABLE LOCATION) and saves the day by doing something to make the invincible bosses vulnerable & fully healing the party so you can have an IMMEDIATE REMATCH that you can win.

[Final Thoughts: Well now Im picturing an old west version of Tuxedo Mask for this song.

Dont quite have time to update the list right now, but I do still need to add the original version of this song to it. Will hopefully remember to do that later.]

433: TOOL - VIGINTI TRES:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCzlS0WwnDQ&list=OLAK5uy_l7KrE4YuWhZsfCdXlLJERHyk4YlwydukA&index=11

Nominator: Steiner (14/26)
Source: 10,000 Days (9/11)

Initial Score: 50.00 [#406]
Revised Score: 57.40 [#331]
Final Score: 51.40 [#433]

(First Thoughts: If this song made me feel anything, itd probably be somewhere in the top 10% of songs... as is, its just there?)

I like ambient tracks, mysterious tracks, and Tools more experimental things that question what music is so yes, this is one of the better Tool songs in this topic.

[Final Thoughts: Ehh... I still like it a bit, but feel like I got carried away with its score the second time around. Its different, but not so different that I become obsessed with it or want to listen to it repeatedly. Its certainly not the best of the...however youd describe these types of Tool songs.]
