Seanchan's week:
Jessie Ware - That! Feels Good! vs. Cannons - Fever Dream vs. Tuxedo - Tuxedo 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, September 17th 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 Rusted Root - When I Woke track list: 1. Drum Trip 2. Ecstasy 3. Send Me on My Way 4. Cruel Sun 5.

Seanchan on the choices this week:
Jessie Ware - That! Feels Good! - After getting beaten THREE times, I can't put up What's Your Pleasure? again, despite it arguably being the superior album. That! Feels Good! is more focused on dance club beats and I loved it the very first time I heard it. It's kind of tough to pick a single track to highlight the album, since there's a ton of great stuff, but I'm going with Begin Again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yd3C69lVU5w Cannons - Fever Dream - This is one of the rare albums recently that I stumbled across myself and it was another that I loved immediately. It's just got this great vibe to it that I think a bunch of Rankers might enjoy. It'll get you bobbing your head, but not in that same energetic "I want to get up and move" way that something like That! Feels Good! would. My only worry is that I'm not sure this is a great album for a track ranking because it has a pretty similar tone the entire album. Despite that, I think it's worthy of a nomination. Again, I wasn't sure which track to highlight, so I'm just going with the opener, Come Alive, which is pretty indicative of the style: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIVHBdaZfbg Tuxedo - Tuxedo - I'll admit, it's been a bit since I've listened to this album. But I think it'll fit in well as a third choice here as another upbeat album though one more more on the funky side of the equation. The highlight is Do It, which immediately grabbed me and made me want to hear the album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-gcfQhR_9c --- My top 100 games (with write-ups): https://foolfantastic.com/top-100-video-games-project/ Top 250 songs: https://foolfantastic.com/3290-2/ ...

I really would like to do Fever Dream, and I had planned on nominating What's Your Pleasure myself, but if we're going to build some momentum here I'm not taking it away. --- If you think the heat is dry, imagine how we like our humor. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Late start on my listens this week.
There is a literal percussive force to this album that I've enjoyed quite a bit. Send Me On My Way is totally not the song that sells me on this album. There's this whole...fantasy jam band energy here? That's not really right but I'm lacking the words. Like a bunch of disparate musicians got together and just started playing and you're like "I don't know" and then suddenly it all clicks and something beautiful and weird and manic and wonderful happens and you're like "this is the best thing I've ever heard" and you know you're not being literal but at the same time it's an energy that shouldn't be captured and instead only exist in that moment. ...That's a very long run on sentence and I swear I don't do drugs. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! ...

One of my all time favorite albums, and one I went out of my way to listen to because Send Me On My Way had been one of my favorite songs for a long time. I don't really know any other music that quite compares, and I definitely don't think I could call any other mainstream album I've listened to quite so energetically upbeat and happy as this one. It's just overflowing with positivity. It's one of the very few albums where I have almost every individual song (not including Infinite Tamboura) in my regular playlist. The ranking of most of these aside from the very top and very bottom could easily all be shuffled depending on my mood.

I kinda figured Rusted Root was one of those one-hit wonder bands with Send Me On My Way, but this album was surprisingly impressive all the way through. I only found the bottom 3 to be a bit underwhelming. Back to the Earth and Ecstasy were especially good discoveries for me. Big fan of this style of folk rock, and I'll definitely be going back to it in the future. --- Don't trust everything that you read on the Internet. -Abraham Lincoln ... Copied to Clipboard!

And so I came in no knowing much of what to expect but also with low expectations. Then Drum Trip starts and within 15 seconds it had grabbed my attention. It immediately flows right into Ecstasy and suddenly my expectations are through the roof because that's a hell of a way to open an album. Send Me... comes next, and while it's the "big hit", for me it's merely good and a come down from the high. The rest of the album is up and down after that but when it hits it's really something. Perhaps I've just got the Rank the Albums results from Bob Marley on my mind, but I expect that this album might prove equally "divisive". I think people who like this will really like it but for some this might be a complete turn off. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! ...

This album gave me various shades of Paul Simon, Talking Heads, and U2. Especially on the Paul Simon front, this struck me as a lesser Graceland. It never really rose above being just fine.
