188: TOOL - WINGS FOR MARIE (PT 1):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNTo34xOwoM&list=OLAK5uy_l7KrE4YuWhZsfCdXlLJERHyk4YlwydukA&index=3

Nominator: Steiner (3/26)
Source: 10,000 Days (3/11)

Initial Score: 74.12 [#73]
Revised Score: 75.15 [#160]
Final Score: 71.90 [#188]

(First Thoughts: Unlike Jambi, this his the right notes for me.)

Like most of the album, its a deeply personal song dealing with the death of his mother. Unlike most of the album, I can actually connect with this one; its so...somber and powerful that the song actually landsjust listen to that weird, almost buzzing-like sound of his voice during the intro. This is just a masterfully produced song and should get all the praise.

...But Im still not really in love with it, because its not really the type of song I want to listen to on a regular basis. Its great and I can see the argument that it should win, but its just not my style.

[Final Thoughts: Fantastic song thats not really my style, but I do highly appreciate what its doing and why.]

187: ISEKAI JOUCHO - HYDRANGEA:

Nominator: UF8 (10/15)

Initial Score: 50.00 [#406]
Revised Score: 79.66 [#119]
Final Score: 72.00 [#187]

(First Thoughts: I dont feel anything here, sorry.

...well the end of the song with the way her voice wavers a bit is properly sad, but thats not quite enough to move it up further.)

As a newer and somewhat obscure song, this doesnt have any translations yet that I can find and automatic translations arent of much help: The body temperature that I find gray makes me feel better now is complete gibberish and Gender enough to give extravagance to mischief I was born to accept is...not that much better.

-but-

I dont remember love and hate, living a life that doesnt resonate is a really good line. It may or may not actually bare any resemblance to what shes actually singing, but I do love that line. And the choruses are pretty catchyits strangely tempting to sing along with Tanoshiku nai na, tadashiku mai na even without context (theres probably some irony with those lines being fun to sing, as Google translates it as Not Fun, Not Right but it is fun) and Im going to jump this song more than 20 points, from the land of indifference (50) to the 70s.

[Final Thoughts: Feels more like an early 70s song than a high 70s one, so its dropped down the list a bit... still like it quite a bit obviously.]

186: THE EIGHTFOLD ROAD - THE SUNLANDS:

https://familyjules7x.bandcamp.com/track/the-sunlands

Nominator: The_Mighty_KELP (8/32)

Initial Score: 58.00 [#282]
Revised Score: 79.77 [#118]
Final Score: 72.10 [#186]

(First Thoughts: No particular reaction.)

This is a good preparing to start an adventure song. The first part is like looking back at your former home and/or village, quietly reflecting on the life that has led you to this point. The song intensifies as you set off on the journey, slowing down again at the end as you look behind yourself one last time. Its a very complete story told without any words and I like this quite a bit. This time, anyway, since I apparently didnt care about it the first time.

[Final Thoughts: Nothing more to add here.]

185: SCARLING - CITY NOISE:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDgfOT6JZrY

Nominator: LOLIAmAnAlt (8/15)

Initial Score: 70.25 [#126]
Revised Score: 87.47 [#76]
Final Score: 72.20 [#185]

(First Thoughts: I actually like this for some reason.)

That reason being the last two verses.

Another deep depression
The calm before the storm
The shaking in your head
How you sacrificed - how you paid the price
All the words you wish you had said

It's the rawest of emotions
Drinking to forget - names written in the snow


So many lovely, slightly depressing lyrics this topic. Other than that, its the usual deal: good song, good vocals, no complaints, you know how it usually is around this tier.

[Final Thoughts: Its on the right wavelength in terms of lyrics and genre, but its not quite there for some reason.]
