303: LIVE - WHERE FISHES GO:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2DSEccwdm0&list=PLBB25BAC1F72C0DE4&index=7

Nominator: azuarc (17/28)
Source: The Distance to Here (9/13)

Initial Score: 71.00 [#116]
Revised Score: 61.92 [#271]
Final Score: 61.72 [#303]

(First Thoughts: I like this songs vibe. Yeah, its another overly spiritual song (a common theme this album) and I tend to be drawn more to songs about staying in the darkness rather than this come into the light business... but theres a certain power to the singers voice and the bands performance where Im really digging this track anyway.

I think I should move it up a bit, but I want to leave it here, see how I feel about it another day.)

Speaking of very spiritual songs by the band Live that Ive lowered my opinion on because Im not in the mood for a spiritual song (or at least this type of spiritual song) at the moment, its this track!

Theres a heavier, harsher sound to the instruments that Im drawn to on this track and the singer occasionally has a deeper voice than usual, which also gets some high marks... but Im not interested in the lyrics, which drastically limits how much I can honestly say I liked the song.

[Final Thoughts: Very nice instrumentation here and probably his best vocal performance (out of the harsher songs by the band anyway, I still prefer the more pop like songs in general), but Im still lacking any connection or interest in the lyrics.]

302: EVERY TIME I DIE - BUSINESS CASUALTY:

https://open.spotify.com/track/5rZ5DP6uPqhcF6UEabxDKT

Nominator: Bane (9/28)
Source: Ex Lives (4/14)

Initial Score: 64.10 [#181]
Revised Score: 61.56 [#274]
Final Score: 61.80 [#302]

(First Thoughts: Well, this was a convenient song. I was just asking for a song by someone who openly hated their fans and here we are. Do they play this at concerts? Do the idiots jump around and cheer? ...Rhetorical question, I dont expect you to know about their concert playlists and it doesnt really matter.)

I still like it, but the surprise of finding a song like this has worn off quite a bit... on the plus side, the singer has a very hypnotic voice on this track (the parts that arent shouted anyway) . It gives it a very bizarre, trippy feel.

...I almost wish he tried singing something psychedelic in this tone of voice, really lean into the bizarre acid trip that his voice comes so close to inspiring.

[Final Thoughts: This song definitely has a different sound compared to all of their other songs you nominated, so it was quite welcome.]

301: CLAMS CASINO - IM GOD:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VY6Juy9aaiY

Nominator: rwlh (12/15)

Initial Score: 50.00 [#406]
Revised Score: 62.04 [#270]
Final Score: 61.84 [#301]

(First Thoughts: Song doesnt really seem to do much. It exists, but thats about it.)

I still dont get the song in the least, and it may be the most repetitive song of the topic, but I like the... weird, dream-like ambiance it gives off. Everything about the song feels like its just slightly off somehow, which is a fairly neat effect. Particularly at the outro of the song which feels very choppy.

A jump from 50 to 60 points may not seem like a lot, and there certainly are more extreme jumps (this isnt even the only 50-to-60 point jump), but I think its a very significant one. Going from total ambivalence to something I actually like is a notable event.

[Final Thoughts: Everythings just off enough to be intriguing, but not so off that it fries my mind or anything.]
