HBJDubs week:
Shpongle - Tales of the Inexpressible vs. VNV Nation - Judgement vs. Burial - Untrue 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, February 25th at 4:00 PM Central Time; the future week poll will close earlier, when I am putting up the next topic. If you do get in a vote after the deadline but before I post the results, I will probably include it. 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 Antimatter - Saviour: 1. Saviour 2. Holocaust 3. Over Your Shoulder 4. Psalms 5. God is Coming 6. Angelic 7. Flowers 8. The Last Laugh 9. Going Nowhere Current cycle: 2/25: Sheep007 (Mitski - Be the Cowboy) Future Cycle: 3/3: HBJDubs 3/10: Fluttershy_Pony (The Weeknd - Dawn FM) 3/17: Steiner 3/24: competitive week 3/31: Snake5555555555 4/7: ZaziGuado 4/14: firefdr 4/21: competitive week 4/28: Johnbobb 5/5: FoolFantastic 5/12: Seanchan 5/19: competitive week 5/26: Giggsalot 6/2: RyoCaliente 6/9: darkx 6/16: competitive week 6/23: neonreaper 6/30: Great_Paul 7/7: jcgamer107 7/14: competitive week 7/21: ChichiriMuyo 7/28: BlueCrystalTear 8/4: rwlh 8/11: competitive week 8/18: NFUN 8/25: StifledSilence 9/1: MaxGalactica 9/8: competitive week --- My top 100 games (with write-ups): https://foolfantastic.com/top-100-video-games-project/ Top 250 songs: https://foolfantastic.com/3290-2/ ...

HBJDubs on the choices:
Going with some electronic music this time around. Shpongle represents psychedelic trance, VNV Nation is more on the pop side, and Burial covers dubstep (but more chill than someone like Skrillex). Some sample songs: Shpongle - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a83Z1d1_ERo VNV Nation - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVf2EeTMNJo (You may have heard this one if you've played a certain game) Burial - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoPWr0jRzTQ --- My top 100 games (with write-ups): https://foolfantastic.com/top-100-video-games-project/ Top 250 songs: https://foolfantastic.com/3290-2/ ...

Burial - Untrue > Shpongle - Tales of the Inexpressible > VNV Nation - Judgement
I feel the need to point out that while Burial is considered dubstep, UK and American dubstep are two completely different genres (the latter is occasionally referred to as brostep to differentiate the two). Burial is closer to ambient than it is to the American version of dubstep. --- My top 100 games (with write-ups): https://foolfantastic.com/top-100-video-games-project/ Top 250 songs: https://foolfantastic.com/3290-2/ ...

First listen done.
There was a point during that first listen that I would have just called this moody teenager shit. That's a bit invective though. This is certainly very moody stuff though. I was maybe getting into it a little near the end, so I'm interested to see how my feelings evolve on it. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! ...

There was a point during that first listen that I would have just called this moody teenager shit. Seanchan posted... It's got such a depressing mood Now, see, I love depressing songs--just take a look at Mega Mana's song ranking and see how often I praise sad lyrics because I can't shut up about them even at other people's topics. The way you speak of this album, it feels like something I should love... but it didn't work for me either. At no point did I feel any sadness or depression from anything. I wouldn't call them happy songs, but as someone who loves sadness and angsty teen music, I never felt like I got any of that from this album. To be fair, I find the album more mid-tier and forgettable than something I actively dislike, but it's weird how this is somehow too depressing for some people & not nearly depressing enough for me. --- Founding member of Raetsel Raetsel Inc.

This album is dark and dreary, and I absolutely did not want that when I went into this album. I, too, was thinking it was just moody teenager shit, though the more I listened the less it felt like it. With more thought, I felt like this would be great stuff for a survival horror game. Or maybe an anime about a child murderer or a murderous child. It really feels like they want the listener to feel uncomfortable.

Yeah, this album mostly went in one ear and out the other. Not a bad album, but it just didn't do much to resonate with me. God is Coming was pretty interesting though. --- Don't trust everything that you read on the Internet. -Abraham Lincoln ... Copied to Clipboard!

Over Your Shoulder

the transition between tracks is broken Is there any other source you'd suggest over Spotify? I wouldn't mind giving the album another chance. --- Founding member of Raetsel Raetsel Inc.

Hmm, Spotify is pretty much my go-to unless I have the album to rip myself and put on my phone (which is the case here). I checked youtube, and oddly enough even though it has to load a new page for each song the transitions are better (but still not seamless). I'll look around for a better source, or maybe I can try to upload it on YT as a singular entity.
Don't know if it'll be a difference maker since nothing is actually missing from the Spotify upload, I just personally hate when an "official" source has gaps between songs when there shouldn't be. --- Save in the name of true love ~Project 1000~ ... Copied to Clipboard!
