=====CONCRETE=====
Going over the remaining songs, there isn't much relative variation from where they began. There are a few that have very low Initial Rankings, but stayed on the top half pedestal for a majority of listening time. There are very, very few songs remaining that I even considered in FLUX tier that, for the most part, these are just about where they'd always end up. Very solid nominations!

What? No, I absolutely chose this tier because of the name! I'm not just burying these songs six feet deep and turning them into a street torward songs I have less generic 'this is good' types of write-ups for!

#50. Tragedy + Time
Artist: Rise Against
Nominator: Steiner (2/5)
Time: 4:20
Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_veE_yBZ6M
Initial Rankings: Batch 5 - 3/15 (B-) & Rubric 5

It kind of feels like a song pulled straight from the Digimon: The Movie soundtrack, and I can absolutely picture Digimon firing off their signature attacks on Myotismon in an AMV to this song. The guitars, the bassline, the early 00s skater rock feel. And it has a positive perservering message of surviving pain and hanging on for another day. It's an excellent song!

#49. Feather
Artist: Nujabes
Nominator: Blur (3/5)
Time: 2:55
Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-BWXT3UBns
Initial Rankings: Batch 8 - 3/15 (A-) & Rubric 3

The forever elevator has new occupants and Feather has drifted off from its high perch. My biggest problems are both how short it is (I would love to hear it go up another notch or two for another minute at least) and how abruptly it cuts off after the random Don McLean reference. The melody is nice, but it does get more tiresome on repeats.

Time: 4:04

Initial Rankings: Batch 6 - 8/15 (B-) & Rubric 10
Weighted Rankings: Green 4/16

"I'm Just Ken" - First listen note

Some power rock, very '80s feeling. Lot of shoulder dancing. The singer is absolutely amazing and I love the music. Just so fun. It definitely adds a boost of positivity and enjoyment to my listening experiences.

"Reminds me of that Scrubs song; "I can't get to sleep / I think about the implications" ; The 4400 theme, too" - First listen notes

I always forget about the silent echoes in the background when I listen quietly or without full headphones. It doesn't change the ranking any, but I think this is only the second time I've realized they're there. It brings me back to high school feels, bus ride into Boston on a field trip or something. Very long drive enjoyment. Overcast skies, but not unwelcome; scattered carpets of clouds with pockets of sunny blue casting roving shadows across the cityscape on an early spring morning.

#46. Past Lives
Artist: BRNS
Nominator: Bitto (3/5)
Time: 4:34
Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tce06Ijzli8
Initial Rankings: Batch 8 - 13/15 (C-) & Rubric 12
Weighted Rankings: Orange 2/15

I don't know who that chorus reminds me of. Paramore? Not sure. Lost love fated across the generations or strong pick-up lines? Who cares, it's a fun mood. Might be higher if the "Baby Love, I need you now" parts weren't like annoying speed bumps.
