Raetsel_Lapin 01/12/21 5:49:06 PM #30:	Ooh, thanks for that! No big revelations there and some of the lines are pretty close to the Google Translated ones, but its nice to know I did have the general idea. (Japanese version of the song is better) Last three of the night: =============== 87: LENA RAINE - IN THE MIRROR: https://radicaldreamland.bandcamp.com/track/in-the-mirror Nominator: Metalmind_Stats (1/28) Source: Celeste (1/21) Initial Score: 70.02 [#133] Revised Score: 87.65 [#75] Final Score: 87.00 [#87] (First Thoughts: It starts off with a properly dreadful atmosphere and the backwards talking is brilliant, but the latter part of the song is too...hopeful and ordinary. I like it, but it could be improved.) Sooo.... I wanted songs with an oppressive atmosphere and this is certainly oppressive. I wanted dissociation and we have backmasked vocals dealing with that. I kinda like songs that have a falling into the abyss feel and this is definitely like sinking into an ocean in places. Itd be pretty hard for me to claim this song isnt the literal definition of what I wanted. And I like it quite a bit, but when I compare it to the absolute top tier tracks this year, I feel like its still a step below them. Still, thank you for giving me what I wanted. [Final Thoughts: I mean, its exactly what I wanted, so... also, I think this is the song that got me really interested in the game. I remember hearing about the hidden backwards talking on this track and its symbolism, which was enough to sell me on the game.] =============== =============== CELESTE SOUNDTRACK: Reach for the Summit: 50.70 [R#30] Confronting Myself: 82.50 [R#20] Postcard from Celeste Mountain: 17.00 [#585] Spirit of Hospitality: 32.00 [#569] Awake: 40.40 [#551] Resurrections: 43.45 [#536] Checking In: 43.90 [#526] Little Goth: 50.00 [#472] Golden: 50.00 [#472] My Dearest Friends: 50.34 [#461] Scattered and Lost: 50.48 [#456] Reflection: 52.12 [#416] Anxiety: 52.50 [#408] Starjump: 56.04 [#389] Quiet and Falling: 59.95 [#332] Madeline and Theo: 60.27 [#326] First Steps: 60.98 [#318] Heart of the Mountain: 62.23 [#294] Prologue: 69.66 [#211] Exhale: 77.00 [#146] In the Mirror: 87.00 [#87] Average Score: 54.6914285714 Well, this album certainly had a variety of scores. One song I hated (largely because its so short), two songs that I really really liked (Confronting Myself & In the Mirror), and then a bunch of songs in the middle. =============== Player Averages Shonen_Bat: 73.6884285714 Metalmind: 59.3499999999 Xeybozn: 53.3525 Hbthebattle: 53.0054545454 Pyresword + sergiocornaga: 50.2062698412 ============ 86: THE WEEKND - THE MORNING: https://open.spotify.com/track/6u0dQik0aif7FQlrhycG1L Nominator: Player_0 (1/30) Initial Score: 0 [#592] Revised Score: 0.44 [#590] Final Score: 87.20 [#86] (First Thoughts: Im fucking gone right now If only you were, Id be so much happier.) This was another song set to be eliminated during the initial cluster of Weeknd songs. But I couldnt eliminate it then. Truthfully, I love the backing music and his voice. And for the longest time, this was set aside to be eliminated at some point in the 40s... but well, obviously that didnt happen. And I might regret this when we get to this in the distant future, but I do love the music and his voice here, so I think Im going to jump this all the way up to the 70swere looking at this song potentially raising 300 spaces from where it was supposed to be cut. But I think I actually do have to move it up there. Ive said love too many times in regards to this song to drop it in the 50s and even the 60s feels low for that much praise. [Later: High 70s. Im still not into the lyrics, but everything else about the performance is so perfect that its going to be rather high up the list.] [Even Later: ....80 points.] [Final Thoughts: Okay, I think this is the largest increase from Revised Score to Final Score. Theres only one other song it could be, but well get to that one eventually. Either way, an increase of over 500 rankings is certainly something.] =============== ============== TRILOGY: Initiation: 0 [#599] What You Need: 0.02 [#595] Life of the Party: 0.30 [#594] House of Balloons / Glass Table Girls: 0.32 [#593] Same Old Song: 0.70 [#592] XO / The Host: 0.80 [#591] The Birds Pt. 1: 0.99 [#590] Gone: 3.00 [#589] Coming Down: 39.20 [#555] Rolling Stone: 43.50 [#535] Heaven or Las Vegas: 45.30 [#508] The Fall: 46.93 [#497] Loft Music: 47.00 [#496] Outside: 48.60 [#488] Thursday: 50.00 [#472] The Party & The After Party: 50.00 [#472] Valerie: 51.28 [#437] Montreal: 57.80 [#382] Till Dawn (Here Comes the Sun): 59.55 [#353] The Zone: 61.05 [#314] The Birds, Pt. 2: 66.12 [#268] The Knowing: 67.93 [#239] Echoes of Silence: 68.15 [#235] Next: 68.50 [#228] Wicked Games: 68.83 [#221] Lonely Star: 75.35 [#159] D.D.: 76.50 [#151] High For This: 79.11 [#123] Twenty Eight: 85.70 [#94] The Morning: 87.20 [#86] Average Score: 44.991 Well, the good news is I like being exposed to things I have a strong negative reaction to, so having 8 songs with scores that abysmal is actually good from a certain perspective; much better than having eight songs at the exactly 50 level anyway. And I did eventually start really liking his voice. Even without any lyrics that appeal to me, theres eleven songs in the I like this tier or better, so I actually like more than a third of the album. So, Id say this was probably a good nomination? I probably should have spaced listening to the songs out a bit more instead of going through so much of the album each sitting, but it was a good experience anyway. ============= Player Averages Shonen_Bat: 73.6884285714 Metalmind: 59.3499999999 Xeybozn: 53.3525 Hbthebattle: 53.0054545454 Pyresword + sergiocornaga: 50.2062698412 Player_0: 44.991 Some high scores at the end arent enough to salvage the albums average. =============== 85: DOM AND ROLAND FEAT. NATALIE DUNCAN - SACRIFICE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26JMNblFuL8 Nominator: DoctorJimmy133 (2/27) Source: DoctorJimms Extra Songs (2/7) Initial Score: 85.00 [#31] Revised Score: 89.09 [#67] Final Score: 87.40 [#85] (First Thoughts: I think I like this quite a bit, but I need to make an attempt to transcribe the lyrics a bit to be certain. Also, feels like the song runs slightly too long.) I dont really care for the intense drumming sections, but I absolutely love the incredibly low tones (which, considering the genre is drums and bass, i shall assume is coming from a bass of some sort) used throughout the song and Natalie Duncan has a very pleasing voice. Im very tempted to move this song up to the 90s, and I might by the end, but those drum sections are holding the song back. [Final Thoughts: Does too many things right to get less than 80 points, but yeah, the drumming sections are really holding everything back. On the plus side, I love the booming low tones that vibrate through me and I really need more songs that do that. ...Just preferably with less intense drumming sections. Though considering that this song is two full tiers above the I liked this tier, the drums arent exactly a dealbreaker...] =============== --- Temporary Signature <cite>Raetsel_Lapin posted [p:949430230] in Raetsel co...
