585: LENA RAINE - POSTCARD FROM CELESTE MOUNTAIN:

https://radicaldreamland.bandcamp.com/track/postcard-from-celeste-mountain

Nominator: MetalmindStats (24/28)
Source: Celeste Soundtrack (19/21)

Initial Score: 0.00 [#578]
Revised Score: 19.90 [#577]
Final Score: 17.00 [#585]

(First Thoughts: This track is so sparse that I truly hesitate to call it a song. Theres absolutely nothing here to discuss or critique.)

There are some ambient tracks that get insanely high scores, but they have to actually...set an ambiance? This is just a distant, faint piano. Its unobjectionable, but not especially memorable. Theres not enough here to even have a reaction to, it might as well be a minute and a half of silence.

And I know theres a solid argument to be made for silence being worth 50 points, but Im tired of trying to discuss the merits of Musical Silence as a genre and could easily throw it into last place because Im still not convinced that Id actively call it music.

[Final Thoughts: Quiet background music probably works better in context instead of trying to stand on its own.]

584: TOOL - INTERMISSION:

Nominator: Steiner (24/26)

Initial Score: 2.30 [#575]
Revised Score: 16.24 [#580]
Final Score: 19.99 [#580]

(First Thoughts: Somehow managing to both be incredibly tedious and incredibly short, this song is rather the worst of all worlds.)

I dont know how they managed to combine elevator music & circus music into a song that lasts less than a minute yet feels like it lasts an eternity, but I hate that they did.

Im also baffled by this not being the worst song on the album. I feel with any normal band, something this...terrible, quite frankly, would easily be one of the worst songs they ever produced. But were not dealing with a normal band.

[Final Thoughts: The songs brevity is the only thing keeping it from falling any further down the list.]

[Final-er Thoughts: Well, its...unique enough that I almost want to move it up a tier? But not quite. I think this song marks the end of the 10 point tier. Sure. Well go with that.

Also insert typical I know this is more a song intro than its own song, but it has a track number so its being treated as a song speech here.]

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

And thats enough for one day... with enough songs being moved up the list and shuffling things around, its going to take me the rest of the night trying to get something ready for tomorrow. On the plus side, were up to the 20 point tier! I guess! Whatever that means.
