Spock's Beard and 3, on the other hand, are pretty great.

...Fine, I'll just add all of them to the ZA'LIST, and worry about it after the ranking ends.

"Let's just throw everyone from Thank You Scientist's write-up: Spock's Beard, The Three Band, Snarky Puppy, Oi Va Voi" added to the final version of said list which will be posted whenever we get that far.

And our last two songs to just barely miss the 50% are...

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

Song Name: Hrafntinna
Song Origin: Sigur Rs

Nominator: kateee (6/13)


The song title and lyrics made me expect death metal, but this is...far, far quieter and emotional than expected. Bit of a lyrical dissonance thing, but I think I'd prefer a song that opens with the Apocalypse to be more intense than this.

Certainly nothing wrong with any aspect of the song; intruments, singers, lyrics, everything is quite good. I just feel the singers would either work better with more beautiful lyrics, or the Apocalyptic lyrics would work better with a more intense band.

[FINAL NOTES: Certainly one of the most unique songs on this list and I hate cutting it before the top half as a result... but again, I don't see any songs that I actively want to move down the list to make room for it.]

Oof... first time I'm even hearing of this band and we're starting at Act V. Yet another concept album song I won't be able to fully appreciate because I don't have time to listen and study to so many different albums.

On the plus side I do like the song and wouldn't exactly be opposed to listening to the other albums, but it feels like a massive undertaking to try following the plot at this point.

[FINAL NOTES: Song would likely do better without the Awake portion. That weird outro might be unique, but it's not doing the song any favors in terms of placement.

And so we officially reach the halfway point of the ranking! And while a lot of participants are on their last nomination, everyone managed to get at least one song in the top 50%!]
