Ill try to make a note of those albums later, thank you. (I also need to go back and see exactly which ones Bane was talking about, or least leave a vague message like this until he reminds me and saves me the trouble of going back to Page 1 of the topic </.< {why yes, I can have shifty eyes inside brackets, but I should end this message here before the brackets become all-consuming}).

40: NEMUKAWA YUMENA - YOU & ME (AKKEY REMIX):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENcyamH6L_g

Nominator: UF8 (4/15)

Initial Score: 86.22 [#27]
Revised Score: 97.99 [#30]
Final Score: 97.04 [#40]

(First Thoughts: I feel I should move this to R#s as I remember it fairly well, but I did only listen to this version once back on January 21st [EDIT: 2019, obviously]... so close enough to a new song.)

Thanks to repeated listens of the original and this remix over the course of a year, this has become incredibly familiar and nostalgic. Shes still not my favorite vocalist, but as I stated last year, but the remix softens her voice a bit and elevates it to a whole new level. Also, weve got a little saxophone added for the instrumental section, and you know those are worth easy points.

Its so familiar that I really should have R#d it, but whatever. My topic and Ill put things wherever I want it and right now, I want this just before the absolute top tier of the main ranking.

[Final Thoughts: I do love it, but I want to give more points to songs that are less familiar.]

39: TOOL - 10,000 DAYS (WINGS PT 2):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJq9y9xPKWs&list=OLAK5uy_l7KrE4YuWhZsfCdXlLJERHyk4YlwydukA&index=4

Nominator: Steiner (1/26)
Source: 10,000 Days (1/11)

Initial Score: 48.11 [#445]
Revised Score: 95.74 [#39]
Final Score: 97.40 [#39]

(First Thoughts: Subject matter too serious, song feels too slow and plodding to overcome my dont want to listen to this topic bias. Its...good enough and I dont dislike it that much, but Id never listen to it voluntarily.)

Well, I actually got really into this one tonight. The sounds of a storm in the early parts of the song really helpI love rain and, frankly, Im surprised this song didnt start with a high score based entirely on the fact that it included rain sounds. I think its because Tool, for me, works best with long breaks between songsId rather not hear more than one song per day and even one per day feels like more than I could tolerate. Now that Im listening to it by itself, I can actually appreciate it.

...And I know Im focusing only on the rain, but dont take that as literally being the only thing I liked about the song. I like the anger, the way it goes on for 11 minutes without feeling repetitive or tedious, and yes even the lyrical content (even though its more serious than Id usually like... this song is one of the exceptions).

You know what? Lets raise the score all the way up to the 90 point tier.

[Final Thoughts: Well, it took a while, but we finally found a Tool song that could stand on the level of Lateralus. Possibly like 10,000 Days more actually, though I cant say Ive tried directly comparing the two before.]

Average Score: 61.4390909090

Well, I loved the title track.

Vicarious took a while to grow on me, but its lightyears ahead of the other news media critical songs Ive been exposed tolet us never speak of INXS Communications again.

I think Right in Two was probably ranked a bit too lowit raised quite a bit from where it started, but I remember it being more a mid-70s song than a mid-60s one (though its been a while since I listened to it).

And Lost Keys was a rather interesting attempt to see exactly how much I like pure spoken word ambience, so that was fun.
