I much prefer being alone with my thoughts and talking to the crowd is... bothersome. The album version doesnt have the crowd (yay!), but I dislike how harsh the vocals sound in comparison to the original (boo!), so... yeah, I think I definitely prefer this live version, though its still a bit disappointing.) Id say this song is exactly as dark as you can go without taking things too far. The song opens with theres a voice in my head, says Im better off dead and doesnt particularly let up at any point. But theres no actual death, suicide, or rampant drug use so... its right up to the line, but not over it. I cant decide if I like the crowds presence or not. Taking a break to interact with the crowd in the middle of the song probably works great for those in the crowd, but is rather dull when youre just watching a recording... but then theres also something funny about a crowd that large turning out to dance & sing along with a song containing the line Were all fucked in the head, alone and depressed. ...also, its almost inspirational to see just how many people will relate to the lyrics, turn up, and be miserably alone together. You know, lets go ahead and bounce this song up to the 100 point tier. I shouldnt as it has a fairly low chance of getting first place, but I actually do want to entertain that possibility for a little while. [Final Thoughts (Round 3): The world has coalesced Somehow that line hits harder after recent events. Either way, songs exactly what I was looking for in terms of bleak without being soul-crushing, so well done.] ============== ================ BRING ME THE HORIZON - LIVE AT ROYAL ALBERT HALL: Shadow Moses: 59.65 [#351] Follow You: 67.40 [#251] It Never Ends: 68.62 [#225] Empire (Let Them Sing): 68.68 [#224] Throne: 79.00 [#124] Avalanche: 79.55 [#119] Sleepwalking: 84.00 [#102] Go to Hell, For Heavens Sake: 87.85 [#82] Doomed: 95.00 [#50] Can You Feel My Heart: 96.00 [#46] True Friends: 96.25 [#45] Drown: 96.55 [#43] Oh No: 99.74 [#29] Happy Song: 100 [#5] Average Score: 84.16135714285 Honestly, this album hits a lot of the same notes for me as Linkin Parks Meteora did. Its very sad, but not soul-crushingly sad (though Avalanche might have been a bit too depressing) and exactly what I was looking for, which paid off with a lot of very high scoring songs. Oh, the playlist you nominated did leave off the song Antivist, but there wasnt a good upload of it until well after the topic started, so theres not much you could have done about that. Its not a bad song, but my first impression is that it probably wouldnt have had much of an impact on things... good enough to not get a low score, not so amazing that it would have raised the average score. Also, this is officially the album with the highest average in the topic! I didnt think any album was going to pull it off, but this managed to defeat History Repeating Blues score of 82.025. ================ Player Averages UF8: 81.3146666666 Mega_Mana: 78.6065384615 Jesse_Custer: 75.6406666666 rwlh: 74.683326 Shonen_Bat: 73.6884285714 BlackDra90n: 73.3910714285 FL81: 72.7471428571 Handsomeboy: 72.3626666666 Snake: 72.2906666666 Murphiroth: 70.2560714285 Toxtricity: 69.1299933333 IhatethisCPU: 68.876 Cakophon: 68.4806666666 azuarc: 68.1417688974 LOLIAmAnAlt: 64.7993333333 DoctorJimmy133: 60.5125 paulg235: 60.3446666666 The_Mighty_KELP: 60.130625 Metalmind: 59.3499999999 Bane: 58.1471428571 Steiner: 54.2413311687 Haste_2: 53.8109523809 Xeybozn: 53.3525 Hbthebattle: 53.0054545454 Pyresword + sergiocornaga: 50.2062698412 Player_0: 44.991 --- Temporary Signature ...
