Yeah, All Over You is definitely one of the songs that grew on me the most (over 200 rankings), though it definitely took a while to get to that point. Didnt realize it was that popular a song of theirs, but I cant say I knew anything about the band in the first place.

Also, Ill add that Skindred song to the list. Song title sounds familiar. *checks* Oh hey, Kill the Power is from a past ranking topic. Neat.

246: EVAN CARSON - OTRIAD:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KscSw_t-6Yg

Nominator: NBIceman (17/22)
Source: Icemans Extra Songs (7/7)

Initial Score: 63.09 [#191]
Revised Score: 61.80 [#272]
Final Score: 67.60 [#246]

(First Thoughts: I dont know... usually historical music has done well, so I dont have any problems with songs from an album about WW2, I like the whispered bits, Im okay with the singer (who appeared with a band in some other nomination a year or two ago), and everything about the song is fine.

But it never goes beyond fine.)

I remember that other song now. Graves, the 15 minute long epic that I really liked but found a bit draining and I always had to take a break after listening to it.

Theres just some sort of disconnect between me and this song, where Im not enjoying it as highly as I should be. I like it, but this has all the markings of a 70 to 80 point song, but it never comes close to reaching those heights... and as usual, I still dont quite know why.

[Final Thoughts: Well, Im liking it considerably more than I did the first two times, but still not as much as Strike Witches (for WW2 related songs) or Graves (for epic songs by this particular singer).

...wait, this is seriously the first of Icemans extra nominations to be eliminated? Theres been so many songs eliminated at this point that I just kinda assumed one had to have fallen before this point... huh. Impressive.]

245: THE DEAR HUNTER - OUROBOROS:

https://open.spotify.com/track/25jwpauhpOvbjDkNHIKhlB

Nominator: NBIceman (16/22)
Source: Act IV: Rebirth in Reprise (10/15)

Initial Score: 50.50 [#396]
Revised Score: 51.66 [#413]
Final Score: 67.66 [#245]

(First Thoughts: I never wanted to hurt no one... no one but you, is a good line. I have no feelings towards the rest of the song.)

Im still not fond of songs where one singer portrays multiple characters simultaneously when theyre unable to do different voices to really distinguish them. Its obvious in context what lines are said by which character, but unless The Boy & The Priest/Pimp are identical twins, their voices should sound at least slightly different.

(I only have an issue with it if someone is portraying multiple different characters in the same song; switching characters between songs is just expected.)

So while the song has some very good lines, theyre not enough to get it out of the low 50s.

[Not-Final: Yeah, changed my mind, that line alone is worth at least 60 points. Moving on up.]

[Final Thoughts: Fairly high 60s for this one. Its got a good story and some nice lines, but its not quite enough to jump another tier.]
