Okay, I think I've got things arranged a bit better. Last two of the morning:

========================

#757: Serj Tankian - Weave On (4:07):
https://open.spotify.com/track/4mEZBhzaStP7nko0SngXIi?si=0a54654fe5a94c90

Nominator: Murphiroth [27/32 Remaining]

Initial Score: 57.05
Revised Score: 53.79
Final Score: 48.11

(First Reaction: Allegedly this track was created for a musical based on "Prometheus Bound", which is an interesting piece of trivia. )

!An interesting concept for a song, but the chorus repeats so many times.... yeah, yeah, "endless weave of fate, the repetition is DEEP and SYMBOLIC". I'm not saying it doesn't have a point, I'm not even saying it isn't well made, I'm saying that's just not something I tend to enjoy even if it's thematically appropriate.

[Final Thoughts: This song feels like it goes on twice as long as it needs to... the endless weaving is *appropriate*, but just feels exhausting. By the halfway point, he's already sang "weave on" 14 times. Yes, they're sisters and they weave. They keep weaving. I am aware of the weaving. YOU CAN STOP SAYING IT NOW. PLEASE STOP.. And yet, and yet, the song goes on for another two minutes & another six weave ons.

...Okay, that's coming across way too mean-spirited. I don't even dislike the song, especially; ancient mythology is a fine well to take inspiration from, I like that it's from a musical that doesn't exist which leaves this song feeling like an artifact from another dimension, the music itself is *fine*. It's... it's fine. It's on a definite downward trend and has fallen almost ten full points from where it started, but it's fine.]

========================

-the moments in between-

====================

#756: Igorrr - Very Noise (1:47):

Nominator: rwlh [22/24 Remaining]

Initial Score: 53.50
Revised Score: 52.29
Final Score: 48.12

(First Reaction: I was expecting more noise, but this was an actual song. Not bad; it feels like it goes on longer than it does, though not in a tedious way--more like a "messes with your sense of timing" way, which is interesting.)

A very confusing and disruptive track that distorts the listener's senses. It's a neat effect, but I'm not sure I really enjoyed listening to it... other than that, it's yet another in the pile of "instrumentals that I don't have a strong reaction to"; I neither feel, nor associate, the song with anything. Still, definitely a very neat experience and I encourage everyone to try listening to it at some point, even if it's fairly low on the list of things I enjoyed.

[Final Thoughts: Usually I like this a bit, but it feels like it's a bit more intense than I want *right now* and I'm not getting anything from the track other than "intense".]
