366: LINKIN PARK - HIT THE FLOOR:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMals9XXQY8&list=PLlqZM4covn1EbvC_6cuERQ59QaMbPkUyE&index=5

Nominator: Mega_Mana (14/18)
Source: Meteora (11/13)

Initial Score: 59.99 [#258]
Revised Score: 58.66 [#313]
Final Score: 58.40 [#366]

(First Thoughts: Not bad, but the chorus is a bit too shouty and I dont have much attachment to the lyrics.)

I like the idea of blending a heavier shouty song with a hip hop song, but Im not fully convinced it worked well here. Its not bad, but its a long way from being one of the best songs on the album.

The lyrics are fine? I dont have any objections to them, but they also dont particularly grab me.

[Final Thoughts: Good song, just not one of their best.]

365: STURGILL SIMPSON - MAKE ART, NOT FRIENDS:

https://open.spotify.com/track/40Bjvq0doGxiH3vZndB5TR

Nominator: Xeybozn (10/20)
Source: Sound and Fury (5/10)

Initial Score: 58.66 [#276]
Revised Score: 58.24 [#319]
Final Score: 58.24 [#365]

(First Thoughts: Good song, though not exactly what Im looking for at this moment.)

The intros a bit long and not something that appeals to me, so I feel like this would have been improved by being split into two parts. Like, usually I disagree with splitting intros off into their own tracks, but Id rather just skip the first 1:30-ish of the song.

Either way, its a good song, obviously. I have no complaints about the lyrics or his performance, but like so many other songs at this level, it never quite clicks with me for some reason.

[Final Thoughts:

Nobody writes, nobody calls
Nobody bother, 'cause I'm over it all

Face in the mirror's all skin and bones
Bloodshot eyes and a heart of stone
Never again, rather be alone

Those look like the type of lyrics Im supposed to be into these days, but... ehh... Im still just not connecting with this the way I should. The song is performed well, it has some lyrics that are very close to what i want, but... I just really dont want to move it up to the next tier.]

364: PSO2 - SUPERLUMINAL ~ CHASE ~ ESCA FALZ MOTHER (PHASE1):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Mywe_GzyLs&list=PLeKaE-gusMmaq2FecWApCcMOVGJblcdrD&index=18

Nominator: NFUN (19/37)

Initial Score: 50.11 [#402]
Revised Score: 56.70 [#341]
Final Score: 58.40 [#364]

(First Thoughts: This is not at all the type of song the name made me think it would be.)

I wonder what, exactly, past me expected from this song? It certainly feels like a PSO2 chase track to me.

Either way, this is another good piece of VGM that doesnt make me think of anything particular. I suppose the song would go well with F-Zero GX (please pretend Ive posted something playing this song over footage over Fire Field), but I think Ive said something similar about every chase ~ theme thus far and even Ive grown tired of saying it.

[Final Thoughts: I think I ran out of compliments for very good racing songs a while ago.]
