Oh definitely. There's a massive amount of songs in the "more than 50 but less than 60" range and it's going to be a bit of a slog for all of us, as I rarely have much to say about them and there are so many that one will wonder if I'm even capable of fully enjoying something. On the plus side, I'd like to believe the special-ness and joy from the 60+ tiers will make it feel worthwhile when we reach that point.

Last song of the night [EDIT: Or morning, I suppose.]:

#761: Yelle - S'eteint le soleil (4:12):

Nominator: hotdogturtle [13/14 Remaining]

Initial Score: 46.13
Revised Score: 48.13
Final Score: 46.13

(First Reaction: The end of the world and eternal darkness... trapped in a song that is very wub-wub-wub-wub-WUB-WUB-WUB-wub-wub-wub. Ah well, I guess we can't have everything.)

Turn off the sun
The night will be eternal for us
[...]
In some way, it is logic
In some way, it is justice
Everyone through the same magical gateway
Everyone suffering the same punishment

It's definitely the type of bleakness that appeals to me and I like the outro starting at around 3:18--it's just a very pleasing instrumental section, though the wub-wubs try their best to ruin the feeling. I don't think I like the dissonance on this track though; adding bleak lyrics to a wub-heavy electropop song (or whatever genre this actually is) doesn't result in a combination I find especially appealing or unexpected enough to count as "intriguingly weird". It's nice enough and I hear the song trying to do things I enjoy enough that I like that it was nominated, but there's just too much wubbing for me to fully enjoy it.

[Final Thoughts: *before clicking* Wow that's harsh, could the wubs really be that bad?

*after clicking* Yes.

Enjoyable lyrics, but the wrong song genre for me. Skimming through remixes, the "Ridu Remix" seems like a bit of an improvement:

Perhaps a bit too pretty of a take on the song, but it is blissfully without the electronic wubbing and allows the vocals to take full prominence. It's still not a song I love, but somewhere in the 50 point range, probably.]
