CasanovaZelos 07/03/22 10:53:54 AM #1:	What album should we cover for jcgamer107's week? Jack White - Fear of the Dawn Magnet - The Wicker Man (1973) soundtrack Bobby Krlic - Midsommar soundtrack What album should we cover for jcgamer107's week? - Results (15 votes) Jack White - Fear of the Dawn 46.67% (7 votes) 7 Magnet - The Wicker Man (1973) soundtrack 26.67% (4 votes) 4 Bobby Krlic - Midsommar soundtrack 26.67% (4 votes) 4 Previous results can be seen here: https://board8.fandom.com/wiki/Rank_the_Tracks The rules: 1. Listen to the album in full 2. Rank every track on the album 3. For the results, there will be a curve at the top of each list; two additional points between #1 and #2, and one additional point for the next two ranks. This way, the songs that really stick out to someone get an edge that is not immediately negated by someone else putting it lower. In the case of Demon Days, someone's 15th track will get 1 point, 14th 2 points, 4th 12 points, 3rd 14 points, 2nd 16 points, and 1st 19 points. For albums with greater than 15 tracks, everything ranked below #15 will be given 0 points and the scale for the top 15 will be the same as a 15-track album. For albums with more than 20 tracks, you only have to list your top 15 (with 16-20, I still like having the average rank listed) 4. If you want to include comments for individual songs, I will compile them in the results 5. The results will be posted at the beginning of the next topic 6. The deadline to vote is Sunday, July 10 at 8:00 AM EST - though if you are for whatever reason listening to the album around that time, just say so in the topic and I can delay a bit 7. You can sign up to be added to the user cycle - the next person on the list will choose 3 albums which the other users will vote on for the next topic. 7a. To ensure people are being given an actual choice, the three nominated albums must be by different artists. You can otherwise stick to a similar sound or era. 7b. The tiebreaker for these polls will be whichever is listed first in the poll options - make sure to deliver the results in order of your own preference (which will hopefully have the added benefit of influencing people toward your first choice if they can't decide). Guns n Roses - Appetite for Destruction track list: 1. Welcome to the Jungle 2. It's So Easy 3. Nightrain 4. Out Ta Get Me 5. Mr. Brownstone 6. Paradise City 7. My Michelle 8. Think About You 9.

CasanovaZelos 07/03/22 10:56:32 AM #2:	The White Stripes - Elephant results The participants sorted by deviation from final results: neonreaper (22) BlueCrystalTear (26) VeryInsane (28) CasanovaZelos (30) Seanchan (30) HBJDubs (36) Johnbobb (38) RyoCaliente (40) jcgamer107 (42) MetalmindStats (56) Raetsel_Lapin (84) General Album Comments CasanovaZelos: Not usually the biggest fan of guitar rock, but Jack White is just that outstanding to have me regularly return to this album. "Seven Nation Army" is the obvious standout, but half of these could have been hit singles. RyoCaliente: Maybe I do like Icky Thump better Raetsel_Lapin: If an album has at least two songs that I would rank a 6/10, then I consider it to have been worth my time. That's the level where I'm willing to say I liked a song without additional caveats and if I geniunely liked at least two tracks, then I got something positive out of the experience. "Elephant" more than passes this test with three songs I think I'd say I liked, but it also has a lot of songs that I just do not care about While there are no songs I hated, I think I'm just not a fan of Jack White in general. I'm not going to take an aggressive "grr, argh, I never want to hear him again" stance (whenever I make a ludicrous claim like that, someone comes along and finds a song from an artist I allegedly hate which I absolutely love, so I've learned my lesson about completely dismissing people), but it's likely not a coincidence that my top two songs from the album include the one song performed by Meg & the one song done in a completely different style While I dislike most of the album, it is notable that it does include at least some songs that are different enough experiences that I can say it's worth giving a listen even if you're not a fan in general, as it might offer a few surprises. It's also an oddly easy ranking; while I can't say it's an overwhelmingly diverse set of tracks, I find they all left a distinct enough impression that they were easy to score without falling into the "these songs are all so similar in quality that they're hard to rank" trap several other albums fall into. VeryInsane: Personally prefer most of the other white stripes albums but this one isnt bad. Seanchan: I came into this week expecting I'd really like this album, which kinda made no sense because I never dove into The White Stripes back during their peak. After 3 listens, it confirmed that I was right not to have gotten into them. I think the biggest thing is that I'm just not a big fan of Jack's vocals. That isn't to say this is a bad album, just that it's not really for me. This one is squarely not the realm of "I'd listen to my top few songs again but not the full album". --- My top 100 games (with write-ups): https://foolfantastic.com/top-100-video-games-project/ Top 250 songs: https://foolfantastic.com/3290-2/ <cite>CasanovaZelos posted [p:966304330] in Rank the T...

CasanovaZelos 07/03/22 11:02:23 AM #3:	Elephant track ranking 14. I Want to Be the Boy to Warm Your Mother's Heart (Track #6) Score: 29 (Average Rank: 12.36/14) Biggest Fan(s): Raetsel_Lapin (#10) Biggest Detractor(s): Johnbobb, VeryInsane (#14) jcgamer107: Decent piano BlueCrystalTear: Forgot all but the title two songs later 13. You've Got Her in Your Pocket (Track #7) Score: 48 (Average Rank: 10.73/14) Biggest Fan(s): BlueCrystalTear (#3) Biggest Detractor(s): RyoCaliente, neonreaper, MetalmindStats (#14) jcgamer107: Watched Jack perform this and get kind of emotional - the lyrics hit for sure BlueCrystalTear: I can feel what Jack's feeling through his voice. 12. Little Acorns (Track #10) Score: 62 (Average Rank: 9.36/14) Biggest Fan(s): Raetsel_Lapin, jcgamer107, Johnbobb (#5) Biggest Detractor(s): BlueCrystalTear, Seanchan (#14) jcgamer107: Love the piano that comes in under Mort Crim's reading. Classic weird Jack White vocals. BlueCrystalTear: That sound clip makes me think I'm listening to an advertisement, not music. The addition doesn't work for me... and something had to be last on an album I enjoyed. 11. The Air Near My Fingers (Track #12) Score: 65 (Average Rank: 9.09/14) Biggest Fan(s): Raetsel_Lapin (#4) Biggest Detractor(s): neonreaper (#13) jcgamer107: Cool synth riff 10. Well It's True That We Love One Another (Track #14) Score: 69 (Average Rank: 9.18/14) Biggest Fan(s): Raetsel_Lapin (#1) Biggest Detractor(s): HBJDubs, jcgamer107 (#14) Raetsel_Lapin: An homage to The Mama's and The Papa's 60's folk music. I don't know that I've mentioned it in this series, but I was raised on an oldies station that focused on the 50's and 60's, so I actually have a lot of nostalgia for songs that are done in this style. It's also wonderfully charming and I had a smile on my face the entire time. It's still not a song that I really love, but it's a jolly good time and a throwback to an era of music that doesn't see much play these days. jcgamer107: I don't hate this, but it feels out of place and isn't really as charming as they probably thought it would be when making it. I also still don't really know who Holly Golightly is (aside from Audrey Hepburn's character in Breakfast at Tiffany's). BlueCrystalTear: I found this wholesome the first time (ranked it #5 on first listen), alright the second, and a bit weird on the third. It's good when you don't expect it and then doesn't work on repeated listens. Especially realizing that Holly is an NPC. MetalmindStats: Perhaps this shouldn't work at all, especially as the closer, yet it totally works for me, especially as the closer. 9. Hypnotize (Track #11) Score: 78 (Average Rank: 8/14) Biggest Fan(s): RyoCaliente (#3) Biggest Detractor(s): CasanovaZelos (#14) jcgamer107: A fun, catchy little jam. Very danceable. 8. I Just Don't Know What to Do With Myself (Track #4) Score: 84 (Average Rank: 7.36/14) Biggest Fan(s): CasanovaZelos (#4) Biggest Detractor(s): HBJDubs, BlueCrystalTear (#11) jcgamer107: White Stripes covers of classic songs are pretty much always good BlueCrystalTear: It's a breakup song, not being confused about life, so not feeling it right now. The guitar can be a little much for what the song is going for thematically. 7. There's No Home for You Here (Track #3) Score: 97 (Average Rank: 6.64/14) Biggest Fan(s): RyoCaliente, MetalmindStats (#2) Biggest Detractor(s): VeryInsane (#13) Raetsel_Lapin: I think I like this song, but I'd like to listen to it a few more times on different weeks before committing to that statement. While it seems like something I should dislike on paper--the chorus is certainly the definition of the repetition I condemn at every possible opportunity--but I actually find this rather pleasing. The snarky bitterness of the lyrics is something I find incredibly appealing right now. jcgamer107: Epic use of the octave pedal once again. You know sometimes I think the character singing may be in the wrong here.... 6. In the Cold, Cold Night (Track #5) Score: 98 (Average Rank: 6.64/14) Biggest Fan(s): MetalmindStats (#1) Biggest Detractor(s): jcgamer107 (#13) Raetsel_Lapin: This album could use more Meg White to be quite honest. ...Honestly, most albums would probably benefit from her appearance. Don't have a lot to say here; I like the way her voice sounds and I dig the general feel of this track. It's one of those "I like this and have no desire to elaborate any further" songs. jcgamer107: It's cool that Meg gets to sing now and again. It's also cool that she doesn't sing too often >_> Johnbobb: Meg needs to get more chances to vocalize BlueCrystalTear: Meg's voice is a welcome a change of pace - her + the simple melody make this a standout. MetalmindStats: I love that incessantly lurking organ, which paints a persistent picture in concert with Meg's limited yet effective vocals and the occasional guitar (I think) contribution. 5. Black Math (Track #2) Score: 109 (Average Rank: 5.91/14) Biggest Fan(s): jcgamer107 (#1) Biggest Detractor(s): Raetsel_Lapin (#11) jcgamer107: The sick-nastiest chugging opening guitar riff, with a phat tempo change at the bridge and a solo that comes at you like a bat out of hell. I'm glad Jack is self-aware about which of his songs are the most bad-ass - he's played this almost every time I've seen him live. BlueCrystalTear: Love the guitar, but I'm not sure what to make of this song. It grew on me with each listen despite feeling caught between the 60s and the 00s. 4. The Hardest Button to Button (Track #9) Score: 111 (Average Rank: 5.55/14) Biggest Fan(s): CasanovaZelos, HBJDubs, Seanchan (#2) Biggest Detractor(s): Raetsel_Lapin (#14) jcgamer107: One of the coolest music videos ever. My old band covered this at a Detroit show ten years ago and it was the most fun. BlueCrystalTear: I can get Raetsel's "This song's just six words long" complaint. But the beat is killer, and the repetition is only at the end. It's a banger with no meaningful purpose other than being a banger. And that's why it's fun for me. 3. Girl, You Have No Faith in Medicine (Track #13) Score: 123 (Average Rank: 4.64/14) Biggest Fan(s): Johnbobb (#1) Biggest Detractor(s): neonreaper (#8) jcgamer107: A hidden gem toward the end of the album - I swear I forget it's even on there half the time I listen to it through in order, but it's such a good jam. The bit near the end when Jack just leaves dead air where the last line of the verse should be cracks me up. 2. Ball and Biscuit (Track #8) Score: 124 (Average Rank: 5.27/14) Biggest Fan(s): RyoCaliente, VeryInsane, neonreaper (#1) Biggest Detractor(s): Raetsel_Lapin (#13) jcgamer107: It's quite possible that this is my 3rd-favorite track, but it's a fact that (irl) Jack White is a 7th son BlueCrystalTear: Epic. Just epic. I don't think it feels too long, but that's me after three listens. 1. Seven Nation Army (Track #1) Score: 135 (Average Rank: 4.27/14) Biggest Fan(s): CasanovaZelos, HBJDubs, BlueCrystalTear, Seanchan (#1) Biggest Detractor(s): Raetsel_Lapin (#12) jcgamer107: A fine song that will be chanted at sporting events until the end of time Johnbobb: Seven Nation Army is a great song. It is also by far White Stripes' most overrated song BlueCrystalTear: I mean, it's iconic for a reason. The killer riff. The general unease. --- My top 100 games (with write-ups): https://foolfantastic.com/top-100-video-games-project/ Top 250 songs: https://foolfantastic.com/3290-2/ <cite>CasanovaZelos posted [p:966304427] in Rank the T...

Just epic. I don't think it feels too long, but that's me after three listens. 1. Seven Nation Army (Track #1) Score: 135 (Average Rank: 4.27/14) Biggest Fan(s): CasanovaZelos, HBJDubs, BlueCrystalTear, Seanchan (#1) Biggest Detractor(s): Raetsel_Lapin (#12) jcgamer107: A fine song that will be chanted at sporting events until the end of time Johnbobb: Seven Nation Army is a great song. It is also by far White Stripes' most overrated song BlueCrystalTear: I mean, it's iconic for a reason. The killer riff. The general unease. </quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!
BlueCrystalTear 07/03/22 11:10:49 AM #4:	I'm confused as to why JC would put up another Jack White album so quickly. Having just done one, as much as I enjoyed it, is the only reason I'm not voting for it. Anyway, I'll need to do a quick listen or two to this awesome classic that I've heard in full several times before. Having an easy week will allow me to finalize my nominations since my poll will be run in two weeks (I have 2/3 finalized anyway). --- BlueCrystalTear \| You're living your own life.

Essentially, the fact that Raetsel's overall list looks like an exact opposite of everyone else's means that she is largely ranking the same clusters of songs relative to one another.

plasmabeam 07/03/22 11:24:54 AM #7:	My favorite album of all-time. With an exception of "Anything Goes," every song is an absolute banger. 1. Welcome to the Jungle Overplayed to hell and back, sure. But the first time I really heard this song during a commercial for GTA San Andreas, it ripped my 14-year-old brain apart and changed my life. Slash's intro, Axl's intensity, the sheer electricity this track carries...it's a miracle this thing exists. 2. Nightrain Wild and endlessly fun. I don't drink, but this song helps me understand why so many people do. 3. My Michelle The main riff might be my favorite from any GN'R song. Or from any song, period. 4. Rocket Queen Absolutely sleazy bass intro. Love the way this song gets charged up before ending bittersweetly. Perfect way to close out the album. 5. Mr. Brownstone Catchy as hell, and I love how this and "It's So Easy" balance out the album's energy. 6. It's So Easy That bass intro! This song is raw and nasty, and the infamous "Why don't you just...fuck off!" lyric always gives me the urge to thrust my middle finger in the air. 7. Paradise City An absolute stomper. From the moment the whistle blows, this one is outta control. Kinda wish they had trimmed it down a bit (the chorus repeats too much), but overall it's a classic. 8. Sweet Child O' Mine I'm not big on love songs, but The Solo and the "Where do we go now?" outro are excellent. 9. Out Ta Get Me Favorite lyric on the entire album: "Sometimes it's easy to forget where you're going / sometimes it's harder to leave." 10. Think About You Grossly underrated. I'll never understand why this one never got more radio play. It's catchy with great guitar work. The outro is chilling and probably my favorite part. 11. You're Crazy Overshadowed by the GN'R Lies version. Still a great high-energy song. 12. Anything Goes The closest thing to filler on Appetite. They should've gone with the Hollywood Rose version, which has a little more meat to it. I never liked that the Appetite version had like two verses and a never-ending chorus to close out the song. --- ~Jacksonville Jaguars~ <cite>plasmabeam posted [p:966304833] in Rank the T...

MetalmindStats 07/03/22 9:32:35 PM #16:	BlueCrystalTear posted... Like Metalmind did for two songs above. Old topic, but to be fair, I didn't actually explain my two biggest outliers, even knowing beforehand that Ball and Biscuit would top that list. I personally find it noticeably harder and a lot less fun to write about songs that I dislike relative to others than songs that I like disproportionately. That's partly because it's really difficult for me to outright dislike a song I've heard three times on different days, but I also worry that an exception (none of which were on Elephant, to be clear) would make for a thin line between song critique and implied opinion criticism.

I feel that, if you had nominated this your next cycle (or someone else had in two months), it'd be far enough removed from Elephant for me to sit down and listen to more times. Most of the time I do 2-3 listens. Depends on how much time I have, how long the album is, and if I like it. Sometimes a 37 minute album will get four listens. If it's over an hour, it practically never gets more than two. This is why, for my nominations, I'm considering length.

MetalmindStats 07/04/22 5:14:01 PM #19:	BlueCrystalTear posted... Like Metalmind did for two songs above. Old topic, but to be fair, I didn't actually explain my two biggest outliers, even knowing beforehand that Ball and Biscuit would top that list. I personally find it noticeably harder and a lot less fun to write about songs that I dislike relative to others than songs that I like disproportionately. That's partly because it's really difficult for me to outright dislike a song I've heard three times on different days, but I also worry that an exception (none of which were on Elephant, to be clear) would make for a thin line between song critique and implied opinion criticism. All this is to say that I'll personally (with no bearing on anyone else) try to proffer a few song write-ups a week from next week on - not this week because as I mentioned last topic, I'll be busy for most of it.

This is what an honest love song sounds like. My Michelle - Always loved the riff. Love the intro. f'ing classic lyrics imo. Welcome to the Jungle - Maybe the best side one song one from that era. It's a great song, a popular song, a perfect intro to an album. Sweet Child O' Mine - Another 10/10 classic.

Raetsel_Lapin 07/06/22 5:21:55 PM #25:	Anything Goes: I really quite like the instrumental portion of this song. It's brief and I can't point to a reason that I enjoy it so much, but I find it to be the definitive highlight of the album--if not one of the highlights of the entire series. I definitely get the arguments about the lyrics being too repetitive, but I think they're catchy and fun enough to avoid becoming actively annoying & I'm really just here for the solo anyway. Welcome to the Jungle: I wasn't looking forward to ranking this song. It's ludicrously overplayed and not a style of hard rock that I find appealing, so I'll often change the station the second it begins playing. I actually had it in next-to-last place in the initial draft of my rankings because my starting opinion was pretty close to actively hating the song. But upon further reflection, you know, I actually rather enjoy the third verse and the bridge/solo/segue that follow it... enough so that I started actively looking forward to hearing the song on subsequent relistens of the album. Probably the song that's had the largest increase from how I felt about it initially to where it eventually placed. Paradise City: A song that I wish ended after the third verse, instead of going with another chorus & pointlessly extended outro. I like the song up until that point... once it speeds up and decides to go as hard as it can, I lose all interest. This made the song rather impossible to rank properly... I could argue the high points are strong enough to move the song into fourth place & just as easily argue that having parts I hate should drag it down towards the bottom of the list. Ultimately, the song just kinda wound up near the middle of the list which is simultaneously "very appropriate for a song with both very high and low points" and "a completely unsatisfying response". --- I'm not who you think I am And even if I thought you'd known, I never would have told you so <cite>Raetsel_Lapin posted [p:966385915] in Rank the T...
