333: TOOL - INTENSION:

Nominator: Steiner (11/26)
Source: 10,000 Days (7/11)

Initial Score: 50.00 [#406]
Revised Score: 50.00 [#425]
Final Score: 50.15 (upgraded to 54.00) (upgraded to 59.94) [#333]

(First Thoughts: Another song in the I dont care pile. I just...have no interest in saying anything about it. Sorry.)

Long, tedious, and not really something I want to talk about.

[Not-Quite-Final Thoughts: ...Eesh, that was overly harsh. I like that its a much slower and subdued song for the band, especially after going through Aenima. I like that its primarily an intro to Right in Two, but reasonably capable of standing on its own (though Right in Two is the better song. Probably. At least, Right in Two has a higher score at the time this was written...). And while the song doesnt really do anything with the backwards vocals, I still kinda like that they were included.

Eh, move this up slightly to slightly enjoyed.]

[Slightly Later: Hmm... lets try 54 points for this, maybe? Its better than most of the songs about to drop in the early 50s, but I dont think I want to jump it up a whole tier.]

[And Yet Later: Very high 50s. It does a lot of things right.]

[Final Thoughts: It definitely took a while for me to develop an appreciation for the song, but its been consistently moving up the list since then.]

332: LENA RAINE - QUIET AND FALLING:

https://radicaldreamland.bandcamp.com/track/quiet-and-falling

Nominator: MetalmindStats (10/21)
Source: Celeste Soundtrack (7/28)

Initial Score: 40.00 [#510]
Revised Score: 56.56 [#343]
Final Score: 59.95 [#332]

(First Thoughts: Its almost what I want... starting around the four minute mark, its kinda like falling into the abyss or the ocean, and I love the idea of the atmosphere... but it never makes me feel like Im really drowning in an ocean of darkness. Good concept, assuredly great in context, but not emotionally strong enough to function on its own.)

The songs still a bit on the long side and takes a while to get to the ambiance I like, but it does eventually turn into something that I likewhich is more than can be said for most songs eliminated before this point.

But its still not quite immersive enough. Its almost there, like with a bit more work it could turn into a 100/100 song, but its still in the upper-mid 50s.

[Final Thoughts: Make that high 50s. It really is a great concept and I want to love it, but it never fully clicks for me.]
