(First Thoughts: Great song.)

Im tempted to listen to an Avantasia album at some point. This song gives me reason to believe itd be worth my time.

Back to this specific song: The Scarecrows descent into madness and arguing with voices in his head gives me most of the dissociation I was looking for and the way the song continually ramps up is somewhat reminiscent of The Mighty Echo from last years topic. So... yeah, of course its getting a good score.

I also need to take a detour and listen to Crestfallen from this songs album right now because a review of the album attempts to insult the song and only succeeds in making me want it. They complain about it sounding like Broadway, like a pop hit single, and that it has too many synthesizers. Like... seriously, were you trying to describe this as the greatest song ever written? Because thats what you just did!

Not bad. Not nearly what that reviewer hyped it up to be (its definitely a metal song, unlike Runaway Train which is certainly a lighter type of rock), but Id say I have generally positive feelings towards Crestfallen.

[Final Thoughts (Round 3): This was the song I was most looking forward to for the third time, so thats a fun statistic. Great song.]

A high scoring set of songs and the playlist that went the longest without losing a single nomination, Id like to believe those statistics can speak for themselves.

I think this is the non-album playlist with the highest average score, so thats impressive. While some of the lower scoring songs from Act IV drag your average down a bit, its still enough for you to hit third place on the average scoreboard.
