The last three songs from Page #5 of the topic & the last song that I saved as a YouTube link without including a name or any indication as to what or why it's on the list.

Tasokare Fu - Yoake to Hotaru (original: n-buna):

Estimated Score: 60.00

I've come to hate so many things
And I feel as if I were a mere dirty spot

Definitely some of the better lines of the Post Ranking thus far. Also, a lot of references to the moon and night, so the song is definitely a strong contender in terms of lyrical content. The song itself is also pretty good, though it does feel a bit long... I start off really into the song with the sorrowful piano and the pain in her voice, but I feel like I've gotten as much of an emotional gut punch as I can get from the song by the two minute mark... I think I'd be happier with a shorter, more concise song. Not that I dislike any part of it, there's just a point of diminishing returns on the sadness. I think the Clump of 60 point songs is a fairly good place for the song; it shouldn't ever drop below that point, but I'm not sure I'd take it above any other Clumped song.

Marumochi Tsukimi - Gossip (original: OSTER project):

Estimated Score: 47.14

A sultry, jazzy nightclub type song. It's fine; one of those where I'm not particularly into any aspect of the song nor really against it either. It's incredibly fine.

Kiritani Oomugi (alternate persona of Kiritani Komugi) - Akenai Yoru no Lily (original: Kasamura Tota):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXda3lUN1Nw

Estimated Score: 73.17

Because this night will never break
Im trapping you in this cage
Because your voice is the only thing that has light
in place of the moon, Im having you sing

Well, this song certainly got dark quickly. </.<

This track pleases me. It's simple, memorable, and there are enough lyrics about being broken that it slides nicely into some hypothetical playlists. I'm going to place this one in the "Really Like" tier.

UltraMagnetic MC's - Travelling At The Speed of Thought:

Estimated Score: 55.22

i don't think I've ever complimented Kool Keith for how different every song featuring him is, he certainly had a greater variety than I knew or expected. This is... not something I'm super into, unfortunately, but I do like the idea here. It's got a good beat, some interesting samples (or so I'm told; there's a sample of Motorhead's version of Louie Louie somewhere?), the lyrics are clean making this one of the easier hip-hop songs to get into... but right now, I just kinda like it? It seems like something I should like like, but.... I dunno, I'm missing something and it's not clear what. Could possibly go up on a relisten and probably should be listened to a few more times to try to identify why this isn't quite clicking, but I'm not getting anywhere with it tonight.

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

EDIT: "The Abduction of Margaret & The Queen's Rebuke/The Crossing" score set to "56.064" so that it actually has a value and fits somewhere on the sheet. I listened to it again and I kinda like how ridiculous the story gets at that point, but they're still not exactly my favorite songs from the album so "kinda like" tier feels about right.

"The Rake's Song" was set to exactly 50 points a while ago and I think I'm sticking with that. It's a memorable, fourth wall breaking villain song so I can't say that I dislike it; I also don't like it either, so exactly 50 points feels good enough. I could move it slightly down for being something I'd never choose to listen to, I could move it slightly up for standing out more than the vast majority of songs, but right now I'll just split the difference and leave it stuck in the middle.
