Planning on cutting things down until we reach the top 10 tonight, so I have to speed up a bit:

==============

17: THE EIGHTFOLD ROAD - OPHILIA, THE CLERIC:

https://familyjules7x.bandcamp.com/track/ophilia-the-cleric

Nominator: The_Mighty_KELP (2/32)

Initial Score: 82.27 [#37] {16}
Revised Score: 96.00 (later upgraded to 100) [#14] {14}
Third Score: 100 [#10] {10}
Fourth: 100 [#16] {16}
Fifth: 100 [#8] {8}
Sixth: 100 [#18] {18}
Seventh: 100 [#19] {19}

Rating Score: 101 [#17]

(First Thoughts: The transition between a more traditional take on the song and a metal version works out a lot better here than some other tracks (TRESSA) and its surprisingly pretty throughout. I very much like this.)

A beautiful song thats so amazing that it justifies the album by itself (even more impressive when you realize its not even the best song on the album). The intro is nurturing like a lullaby, and youd expect the electric guitar and drums to ruin the song when they come in, but somehow the transition...just works. It shouldnt, but it does, and its just wonderful.

[Later: Im feeling generous tonight and I do love this track, so lets go ahead and have this leap to the highest tier. Its cheating a bit as this probably wont win (the current top three songs are definitely above it), but its close and I want to entertain the possibility of it winning.

...also this song being so nurturing and prepared to fight reminds me of Toriel, which is worth consideration for first place purely by association.]

[Final Thoughts (Third Round): I think Ive changed my mind to this being the best song from the album.]

[Final Thoughts (Fifth Round): The intro to this song is so warm and soothing that I considered having it win this round, but the metal portion is holding it back a bit... its very, very good metal and really does compliment it quite well, but I want that feeling of peace and security from the intro right now.]

16: MIRANDA LAMBERT - DARK BARS:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UipDjE8G3hU

Nominator: @Snake5555555555 (1/15)

Initial Score: 93.00 [#7] {7}
Revised Score: 100 [#7] {7}
Third Score: 100 [#19]
Fourth: 100 [#21]
Fifth: 100 [#15]
Sixth: 100 [#16]
Seventh: 100 [#15]

Rating Score: 100 [#16]

(First Thoughts: I like this.)

Its nice to get a good song of hers to get some redemption after Little Red Wagon failed spectacularly at the first ranking topic. Other than that: Shes got a classic country sound that I appreciate (Im apparently drawn more to the women of country music than the men) & the song is right in that sweet spot of sad, but not too sad:

Great song, up in the top tier. Kinda unlikely to get first place, but wouldnt be a bad pick for it.

[Final Thoughts (Round Seven): Good song, though its not one that I can find much to say about. ]

Average Score: 72.2906666666

Another nice set of nominations, though I cant find much that I want to say here. New Orleans might have been ranked slightly too low, since I do appreciate how its rather tame for the genre & probably should have been in the early 60s instead (though an extra two or three points to one song wouldnt have much impact anyway).

Either way, you always have a good set of nominations for these.
