(First Thoughts: Not exactly the best drinking song Ive ever heard.)

I bounced hard off of this track the first time I heard it, but Im fairly into it tonight. I dig the lazy country vibe weve got going, the I dont care sentiment, and

I tried to think of something deep to say
But my well is dripping dry today


Is strangely relatable after having nothing to say about the past... however many songs its been at the time of this writing, to say nothing of all the many songs yet to come that I have nothing to say about. And while its a simple lyric, Ill pick you up and itll be all right is very...sweet.

*wags tail*

...You know what, lets jump this song up to the 80 point tier for a bit. We need more tail wagging inducing songs up there anyway.

[Not Final: Most of the lyrics arent my favorite, but I absolutely love the overall vibe the song gives off. Its got a soothing beat, a great singing voice, and I just kinda happily bounce around nodding my head and wagging my tail along it and this is such a happy place song and...

...You know what? Any tail wagging song gets an automatic hundred points. The odds that this wins are fairly low, but its not impossible. I want to take this song to the finals and reevaluate it in context of all the other hundreds.]

[Final Thoughts (Round 3): Im sure everyones going to say that I cant let a song win purely because I now wag my tail along to the beat, but I dont care. No, I dont care.]

[Final Final Thoughts: The only song to get two first place finishes! Incidentally, the reason I went with seven trips through the top 24 was to try and give this song as many chances to get a high placement as possible... but in the end, it still wasnt enough to overcome the deficit of two last place finishes. Well, it was enough to get it into the top ten and its placement seems to be floating around that general areaI did give it an 8th place finish recentlyso I suppose the system worked fine.

Also, this is the last song in the raised over 500 rankings from the Initial Score camp.

Incidentally, if the Initial and Revised scores for all songs were tossed out so that only the five rounds of the top 24 songs going head-to-head counted, this song would have tied for first place.]

I think this is the album that took me the most tries to get through on the first trip through the nominations . As Ive said, I tend to avoid serious topics, so you can kinda imagine exactly how well an album with references to rape, Hitler in a robe of truth, accidental drowning deaths of real people, childbirth, Jesus, and everything from T.B.D. went on my first attempt. There was a point in which I was taking a break after every song.

Thankfully, first impressions dont really matter much and things started turning around by the revised trip. Once I was properly prepared for what the album was, I was able to start enjoying Eds vocals and there were quite a few fantastic songs. As Ive said: Iris has the best chorus in the topic, Horse is the only song to get first place multiple times, Shit Towne turned out to be something I actively needed (even if it took me a while to admit it)... it was definitely one of the best albums here, I just needed the time to learn to appreciate it.
