FoolFantastic 02/16/23 11:25:46 PM #15: | GNFPWLBN track ranking 14. Interlude (Milo) (Track #12) Score: 33 (Average Rank: 12/14) Biggest Fan(s): Raetsel_Lapin (#6) Biggest Detractor(s): Giggsalot, Johnbobb, Seanchan, VeryInsane (#14) ZaziGuado: I mean, it's pleasant enough but it feels more like an intro to Blame It On the Tetons than its own track, which isn't a bad thing to be. 13. Dance Hall (Track #7) Score: 35 (Average Rank: 11.91/14) Biggest Fan(s): Seanchan (#3) Biggest Detractor(s): Raetsel_Lapin, FoolFantastic, neonreaper, HBJDubs, Great_Paul (#14) ZaziGuado: catchy and chaotic, though I kinda wish it was a little shorter to just concentrate it more. 12. This Devil's Workday (Track #9) Score: 55 (Average Rank: 10.55/14) Biggest Fan(s): Johnbobb (#1) Biggest Detractor(s): ZaziGuado (#14) ZaziGuado: gosh I've always read this as The Devil's Workday and didn't realize it was this until today. doesn't make much of a difference but still an interesting revelation almost 20 years later. anyways this doesn't do it for me, but it doesn't overstay its welcome so it's okay. 11. Satin in a Coffin (Track #11) Score: 70 (Average Rank: 8.64/14) Biggest Fan(s): Johnbobb, neonreaper, ChichiriMuyo (#5) Biggest Detractor(s): ZaziGuado (#12) ZaziGuado: this feels like the most modest mouse song on the album. I don't know what I mean by that, but it feels right. I definitely tend to favor their more pop-friendly stuff, but I can flirt with this weirdness. 9 (tie). Black Cadillacs (Track #14) Score: 73 (Average Rank: 8.36/14) Biggest Fan(s): Raetsel_Lapin, Giggsalot (#4) Biggest Detractor(s): VeryInsane (#13) ZaziGuado: "it's true we named our children after towns that we've never been to" is a lyric that I always remember vividly because I have a slightly irrational disgust for bullshit names. I also greatly enjoy that sitcom opening-sounding piano chime that randomly pops in. 9 (tie). The Good Times Are Killing Me (Track #16) Score: 73 (Average Rank: 8.36/14) Biggest Fan(s): neonreaper, ChichiriMuyo (#4) Biggest Detractor(s): Johnbobb (#13) ZaziGuado: I find this a fun, goofy ending to fun, goofy album. really enjoy the very smooth, prominent bassline. 8. One Chance (Track #15) Score: 79 (Average Rank: 7.91/14) Biggest Fan(s): Raetsel_Lapin (#3) Biggest Detractor(s): Johnbobb (#12) ZaziGuado: this song is so weird after being inundated with cynicism, hopelessness, and just a general malaise up to this point. to be met with a song about coping with the loss of everything is an odd, but not unwelcome, turn this late into the album. I appreciate it. 7. Bury Me With It (Track #6) Score: 89 (Average Rank: 7.27/14) Biggest Fan(s): Raetsel_Lapin (#1) Biggest Detractor(s): neonreaper (#11) ZaziGuado: always been a little off-putting, but I've learned to appreciate the exasperated pleas. plus they say the name of the album! 6. Bukowski (Track #8) Score: 96 (Average Rank: 6.45/14) Biggest Fan(s): Giggsalot, VeryInsane (#3) Biggest Detractor(s): Raetsel_Lapin, Seanchan (#10) ZaziGuado: such great banjo action here. I enjoy every time they slow the beat down and then pick it back up. 5. Blame It on the Tetons (Track #13) Score: 107 (Average Rank: 5.73/14) Biggest Fan(s): ZaziGuado, ChichiriMuyo (#2) Biggest Detractor(s): Seanchan (#13) ZaziGuado: this song is so damn chill. I love that fiddle and piano. the continuation after the false ending is interesting but not unwelcome. I've never actually taken the time to digest the lyrics, but I think I'd enjoy this song even more if I did. 4. Ocean Breathes Salty (Track #4) Score: 110 (Average Rank: 5.64/14) Biggest Fan(s): VeryInsane (#1) Biggest Detractor(s): ChichiriMuyo (#10) ZaziGuado: some fun lyrics in this one like "you missed when time and life shook hands and said goodbye" and the abrubt ending with "for your sake I hope heaven and hell are really there but I wouldn't hold my breath." 3. The View (Track #10) Score: 115 (Average Rank: 5.36/14) Biggest Fan(s): Great_Paul (#1) Biggest Detractor(s): neonreaper (#10) ZaziGuado: this song is top tier on the album to me, but I always waver on whether it's near the top or bottom of that tier. I love that warble in the chorus and some of the background vocal eccentrics. 2. The World at Large (Track #2) Score: 143 (Average Rank: 3.82/14) Biggest Fan(s): Giggsalot, neonreaper, ZaziGuado (#1) Biggest Detractor(s): ChichiriMuyo (#14) ZaziGuado: beautifully bittersweet track which serves as a very interesting tone setter for the album. also really appreciate the way it leads into Float On. 1. Float On (Track #3) Score: 154 (Average Rank: 3/14) Biggest Fan(s): FoolFantastic, HBJDubs, ChichiriMuyo, Seanchan (#1) Biggest Detractor(s): Raetsel_Lapin (#11) ZaziGuado: iconic riff. I remember being so excited when I saw this reach the top of a weekly ranking show on a music channel. --- My top 100 games (with write-ups): https://foolfantastic.com/top-100-video-games-project/ Top 250 songs: https://foolfantastic.com/3290-2/ ...
