(First Reaction: *stares blankly at the screen for seven minutes trying to think of even one word to explain why she likes the song*

...Well, whatever. "I like this" is as fair a first reaction as anything else.)

!...I still have no explanations on this, but I'm moving it up a tier because now "I really like this" with no explanation.

[Final Thoughts: Some of the cleanest vocals on the album, alongside some "quiet screaming" which is something I'm looking for (as I've mentioned before)... until the outro which is the loud sort of screaming, but it was quite nice until that point.]

#281: Velvet Chain - Treason (4:15):

Nominator: Jesse Custer [12/29 Remaining]

Initial Score: 68.40
Revised Score: 68.40
FInal Score: 68.40

(First Reaction: This song inspires quiet, personal introspection. I'm just going to go quietly think about things for a bit, which doesn't make a very good writeup, but I enjoyed it & it made me think/feel things, which I'd like to believe is enough of a compliment for a first reaction.)

!Song still makes me want to quietly reflect on things, possibly with a stiff drink in hand. Not that I drink, but this feels like a song that would go well with one.

[Final Thoughts: Not something I want to publicly discuss, but I do like it quite a bit.]

#280: Death Grips - Get Got (2:51):

Nominator: Kateee [10/21 Remaining]

Initial Score: 70.00
Revised Score: 72.00
Final Score: 68.44

(First Reaction: I don't know what type of song I was expecting, but this complex mind-bending rapid-fire lyrical story (which seems to be told in reverse order) certainly wasn't it, I mean that in a great way, anything that manages to leave me in stunned silence is pretty good by default, but the complexity of the song and the inexplicably entrancing background music makes it... *rolls a random adjective generator* astonishing.

Huh, I was expecting a gag there, but that's actually a rather fitting word for it. Thank you, random adjective generator!)

!Great storytelling, song does a good job at standing out when compared to others.

[Final Thoughts: I was initially blown away by how unexpected this was, but now that I have the story memorized, it's not quite as enchanting--I still like it and it's a fantastic song, but it might possibly fit better just below the 70 point marker instead of just past it.]

[Later: A very memorable and compelling method of storytelling. Quite nice.]
