rwlh's week: Oneohtrix Point Never - Replica vs. Hisayoshi Ogura - G-Darius Original Arcade Score vs. Bjork - Vespertine Previous results can be seen here: https://board8.fandom.com/wiki/Rank_the_Tracks https://board8.fandom.com/wiki/Rank_the_Tracks_Set_2 https://board8.fandom.com/wiki/Rank_the_Tracks_Set_3 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, May 28 at 4:00 PM Central Time; the future week poll will close earlier, when I am putting up the next topic 7. You can sign up to be added to the user cycle (a new user will be added to the end of the current cycle as long as there are four weeks remaining) - 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). 7c. I have added a tiered vote structure - the least popular album will be removed and its backup votes distributed to the other two entrants. 8. Starting with the next cycle, every four weeks will be a competitive week where those listed choose a single album to face off against others. 9. Skits and tracks under 40 seconds will be excluded from the rankings unless argued otherwise Prince & The Revolution - Purple Rain track list: 1. Let's Go Crazy 2. Take Me with U 3. The Beautiful Ones 4. Computer Blue 5. Darling Nikki 6. When Doves Cry 7. I Would Die 4 U 8. Baby I'm a Star 9.

Sabaton - The War to End All Wars results The participants sorted by deviation from final results: Johnbobb (18) Great_Paul (22) Raetsel_Lapin (26) MaxGalactica (28) HBJDubs (30) neonreaper (30) MarkS2222222222 (36) Seanchan (40) General Album Comments Steiner: I'm intrigued to listen to this album as my dealings with Sabaton involve me and my friends asking 'who are all these people who love sabaton?!' any time we go to mainland europe and find them headlining festivals - for whatever reason they're pretty low profile in the UK but when I went to France or Germany these were enormous. I see that in the time since I fell off power metal, Sabaton became the stalwarts, and are respected for the depths of historical knowledge they bring to their lyrics Johnbobb: listened to this album three times today, it rocks Seanchan: Sometimes you know 15 seconds in that an album is going to be for you. I heard the instrumentation and I was intrigued, then the vocals kicked in and I knew. I was very much enjoying my first listen, though I noticed something that annoyed me a bit. Almost every song, with minor variation is: verse, chorus, verse, chorus, solo, chorus, chorus. Now I'm sure a lot of albums are formulaic in structure but even I noticed it here, and it kind of brought the album down a bit I think. Raetsel_Lapin: I like this album, but I found it to be one of the hardest to rank. There's no really strong tracks that I love, but a lot of tracks that I like which results in my top 7 feeling a bit arbitrary... I could throw on any of those tracks and be equally happy, so I'm not as confident about the order as I'd like even after five listens. Seanchan: A very solid album with no bad songs...but also no super strong songs either. It all kind of just blends all together after a while and so this is a pretty arbitrary ranking of songs. HBJDubs: I love Sabaton. This album doesn't have a standout track like most of their albums but everything here is great so I'm not complaining. MaxGalactica: I did enjoy this album for the most part. Great instrumentals, great melodies, and great guitar solos. The vocals were a bit difficult to take seriously though, because they made me think of pirates. Versailles suddenly being in a major key after all the songs in minor was pretty odd, but it makes sense considering the context. Top 3 on my ranking are songs I'd go back to. Good album neonreaper: I like other Sabaton albums a bit more but I have a soft spot in my heart for their stuff. There's nothing here that really stands out as "this is the song everyone is gonna like" so I'm curious to see what the rankings are. In a vacuum I would guess Christmas Truce and Lady of the Dark are the top 2. Narrators - I'm so glad they decided to make a version of the album without one (for the most part). I don't really get why bands spend time on this stuff aside from maybe a live version. --- My top 100 games (with write-ups): https://foolfantastic.com/top-100-video-games-project/ Top 250 songs: https://foolfantastic.com/3290-2/ ...

Kero Kero Bonito - Bonito Generation results The participants sorted by deviation from final results: MaxGalactica (20) FoolFantastic (22) Raetsel_Lapin (26) Seanchan (26) hotdogturtle (28) jcgamer107 (38) Johnbobb (40) HBJDubs (46) ChichiriMuyo (52) General Album Comments Seanchan: Not sure I was really feeling it. The album felt kind of...simple? I don't know. Something about it was kind of videogame-y or just had me saying "yeah, I could see why GFAQs users might like this". It's a tough place to be when, in just this cycle, we've covered Grimes and Caroline Polachek. MaxGalactica: Cute album. It is a bit on the simplistic side, so it's not really something that wowed me at any point, but it was fun to listen to. Johnbobb: what a goofy album jcgamer107: While my two favorite Kero Kero Bonito songs are found elsewhere, Bonito Generation is a really fun & easy listen, clocking in at under 40 minutes start to finish. Half the songs on this album could be summer radio hits, so it's hard to sort. Most of KKB's catalog is very danceable in a live setting - got to see them about 4 years ago and it was a blast. Seanchan: Simple, saccharine, amateur. Those are some of the words that came to mind as I was trying to figure out why this album was rubbing me the wrong way. Then I figured it out. This album feels like the soundtrack to some lost Disney Channel show, where the lead singer is the quirky Japanese girl that goes to live it England and gets up to some G/PG related high jinks with her 2 new best friends. (Just to be clear, I know the singer is originally from Japan and then lived in England.) Most of these songs feel like things she'd burst out singing, one per episode, while some slightly bewildered students or family members look on. jcgamer107 (responding to Seanchan): .....I mean if you extrapolated the Lipslap video into an actual show, then I'd agree, but for the album as a whole I think you're selling it very short HBJDubs: "Simple, saccharine, amateur." I think that's a good description! I do like the album though; there's no cream rising to the top but it was a cool listen regardless. ChichiriMuyo: As others have said, it's goofy, cute, and simple. However, the lyrics for most songs are pretty universally relatable. Also I love that the Japanese rapping is at a speed where the only things I'm not understanding are words I just don't know. "I speak in different languages and people get what I mean" indeed. FoolFantastic: Had a lot of fun with this one; not quite hyper-pop but something adjacent. It may seem simple, but I don't know many other artists that embrace such a simple sound, especially this effectively. --- My top 100 games (with write-ups): https://foolfantastic.com/top-100-video-games-project/ Top 250 songs: https://foolfantastic.com/3290-2/ ...

Fish Bowl (Track #4) Score: 71 (Average Rank: 5.89/12) Biggest Fan(s): jcgamer107 (#1) Biggest Detractor(s): MaxGalactica (#12) jcgamer107: I think this is the song Sarah is singing about in 'Heard a Song' - I had the part at 0:50 stuck in my head for a while before I was able to go back and find the song it was from. Could easily be twice as long, but like many great songs, leaves you wanting more. hotdogturtle: This song doesn't feel like a typical "short song" to me. It feels like a full length song that's just missing a minute or two from the end. Listening to it, I can try to pretend that it's longer and isn't about to abruptly end. This made it the hardest song to rank. I do like what's there and in this case I'm not letting its duration hold it back, even though I wish it kept going past 1:45. (I debated ranking it even higher, although the songs that I ranked above it deserve those spots too) 5.

Pretty much heard it by accident - my friend was playing 'Minimall radio' on Spotify/Pandora/something (an all-girl band formerly called 'Titty Hall' who used to do Tally Hall covers) and this song came on.

I actually had this song a lot higher at first, but as usually happens when I do rankings, it kept getting pushed down when I revisited other songs and decided that they all needed to be higher. #7 isn't even the point on my list where I stop liking the songs yet. --- Hey man, LlamaGuy did encrypt the passwords.

Oh I didn't realize my poll was going up right away. Some thoughts on these albums: Oneohtrix Point Never - Replica is a very unique album. RYM has it listed as "plunderphonics," a genre that involves sampling other music or audio and making a new song out of it. Many songs on this album are full of chopped up 80s commercials, but they're presented in a way that makes them almost unrecognizable (Youtube is full of videos identifying these samples, almost like it's a puzzle). The album is full of big, swelling synths that are somewhat New Agey in execution at times and run the gamut of emotions; I swear I experience so many different feelings every time I listen to this. It's truly unlike anything else I've heard. Sample track: Sleep Dealer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P26hNg4n3Hs - I nominated Hisayoshi Ogura - G-Darius Original Arcade Score because there was talk of running a game soundtrack and G-Darius is one of my favorites, and it's fairly short to boot. The Darius series is know for "weird" melodies and soundscapes. G-Darius is very industrial, with lots of factory noises and, like OPN, vocal samples. Most of the songs loop pretty quickly; an exception is KIMERA II, my favorite from the game, and a VGMC retiree. If G-Darius gets picked, I'll provide a link to the topic upload - Zuntata has historically taken down unofficial uploads. Also, as an aside, if you pick G-Darius, you'll probably see an uptick in participation for that topic - I imagine a lot of the VGM crew will be drawn in. Sample track: KIMERA II https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VuXFeSWgwE - Finally, Bjork - Vespertine is an album I know basically nothing about except that Bjork is an artist I've always wanted to seek out more music from. Vespertine is her highest rated album on RYM, coming in at #24 on their all-time chart. I wanted a female artist since from what I can tell they're somewhat underrepresented in this series (which reflects the music industry as a whole). Sample track - Hidden Place https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zUINtEf94A - My preferences: Replica > G-Darius > Vespertine Thanks for letting me participate! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Vespertine > G-Darius > Replica Replica sounds like something that I would enjoy, but also I imagine it being very hard to rank songs that (I expect) all sound fairly different. I'd rather listen to it on my own time and not have to stress ranking it (and I probably will, now that I'm aware of it). G-Darius is something that I've usually enjoyed from my time in VGMC, but I didn't expect it to be chosen as the first VG representative in this topic series. I wouldn't mind if it were chosen but I also wouldn't miss it if it's not. Somehow Bjork ended up being the most traditional of the three options this week, so she gets my vote for this. --- Hey man, LlamaGuy did encrypt the passwords. With what? ROT-13? -CJayC ...

Oneohtrix Point Never - Replica > Hisayoshi Ogura - G-Darius Original Arcade Score > Bjork - Vespertine - 1: Purple Rain 2: Let's Go Crazy 3: When Doves Cry 4: Computer Blue 5: I Would Die 4 U 6: Take Me with U 7: Darling Nikki 8: The Beautiful Ones 9: Baby I'm a Star Good album, lots of hit singles that live up to the hype and at least one new (to me) discovery that was rather enjoyable. I'm glad we covered this. Computer Blue: I wish this were the full "Hallway Speech" Version. I do understand why the song was shortened so drastically for the album, but the cuts leave it feeling rather incomplete... that being said, the short version here is good enough that I'm not sure I'd rank the full length version any higher anyway. It'd be hard for me to take just about anything over the likes of "Purple Rain", "Let's Go Crazy", and "When Doves Cry" which shows just how crazy stacked this album is. Darling Nikki: The main part of the song is too blatantly sexual for my purposes and I generally tune it out... but the outro is intriguing. Apocalyptic backmasked vocals? Water sounds? It's an odd twist that takes the song from "I hate this" territory to "actually this would probably get a decent ranking if this album weren't so stacked". [And before anyone points out that basically everything Prince ever did was incredibly sexual, I am aware. Darling Nikki is just less interesting about it than usual, for me personally.] The Beautiful Ones: Ehh... I rail against repetition all the time, so it should almost go without saying that I got rather bored with this song quite quickly. I wanted to shut the song off by the 13th time he said "baby" & he manages to cram the word into the song 32 times before it ends. Along with a few "babe"s because of course he does. To be fair, there are some interesting bits as Prince gets progressively more desperate and unhinged in his singing as the song goes on, so the song isn't even half as bad as I'm making it out to be... but it's too little payoff for how tiring I find the first few minutes. --- A not very secret alt account for when Raetsel wants to be a pony ...

Absolute classic album. The top 3 for me are very definitive favorites, especially Purple Rain, which is one of those songs that makes me sit up every time I hear that first chord. Not as high on When Doves Cry as most people, but it's still a good song. The Beautiful Ones is my pick for most underrated. Absolutely love the otherworldly synths and cool chord progressions in that one. I've been meaning to go through Prince's discography, but I've been putting it off because it's pretty intimidating with the sheer amount of albums he's made. --- Don't trust everything that you read on the Internet. -Abraham Lincoln ...
