https://board8.fandom.com/wiki/Rank_the_Tracks https://board8.fandom.com/wiki/Rank_the_Tracks_Set_2 https://board8.fandom.com/wiki/Rank_the_Tracks_Set_3 https://board8.fandom.com/wiki/Rank_the_Tracks_Set_4 The rules: 1. Listen to the album in full 2. Rank every track on the album 3. For the results, there will be a curve at the top of each list; two additional points between #1 and #2, and one additional point for the next two ranks. This way, the songs that really stick out to someone get an edge that is not immediately negated by someone else putting it lower. In the case of Demon Days, someone's 15th track will get 1 point, 14th 2 points, 4th 12 points, 3rd 14 points, 2nd 16 points, and 1st 19 points. For albums with greater than 15 tracks, everything ranked below #15 will be given 0 points and the scale for the top 15 will be the same as a 15-track album. For albums with more than 20 tracks, you only have to list your top 15 (with 16-20, I still like having the average rank listed) 4. If you want to include comments for individual songs, I will compile them in the results 5. The results will be posted at the beginning of the next topic 6. The deadline to vote is Thursday, May 9th at 8:00 AM Central Time; If you do get in a vote after the deadline but before I post the results, I will probably include it. 7. Every few weeks, a nomination period will open; there may or may not be a theme. Each user can nominate one album. The following week, everyone will be able to rank their top ~5 among the choices - this will use a bottom-up scoring approach, i.e. voting for one album will give your #1 a single point, voting for five will give your #1 five points, so it is always better to vote for the maximum number of albums. The top ~5 will then be covered. 8. Skits and tracks under 40 seconds will be excluded from the rankings unless argued otherwise Garbage - Version 2.0 track list: 1. Temptation Waits 2. I Think I'm Paranoid 3. When I Grow Up 4. Medication 5. Special 6. Hammering in My Head 7. Push It 8. The Trick Is to Keep Breathing 9. Dumb 10. Sleep Together 11. Wicked Ways 12.

Viktor Vaughn - Vaudeville Villain results
The participants sorted by deviation from final results: PunishedJeezy (28) Sheep007 (32) MaxGalactica (39) HBJDubs (43) Johnbobb (49) General Album Comments Johnbobb: Easily one of my all-time favorite rap albums. Doom is always interesting, between his distinct pronunciation and flow, his classic Fantastic 4 clips and comic book themes and his lyrics that go back and forth between harsh and goofy. Viktor Vaughn is probably my favorite of his faces beyond the classic MF Doom, though Madvillain and King Gheedorah are up there too. Basically every song on this album is a banger. I'm also a sucker for a great concept album, and Viktor's character of a time traveling villain in the streets of old NY is hard to top Seanchan: Done 2 listens so far. As you might expect (since I say the same thing about nearly every rap album we've covered), I'm not really a fan. This is just so very verse heavy and I need those choruses to ground me, otherwise these songs tend to just glom together. The songs that stood out to me are the 2 Open Mic Nites and Can I Watch?. That's not surprising, as they're the songs that prominently feature other voices. Which gets to my second takeaway, which is that I also think I'm just not a big fan of MF DOOM's rapping, just in terms of voice and delivery. This might be herasy to rap fans, but from my limited perspective, his overall sound reminded me a lot of Nas. I could also see maybe some of the Wu Tang influence with some of the little skit/clip things at the end of a bunch of the songs? PunishedJeezy: Love this album, all-time classic. No real weak tracks, but the Open Mic tracks don't really compare to the DOOM solo tracks. FoolFantastic: Listened to the album yesterday. Loved it but wasn't paying nearly close enough attention to rank the tracks. I feel like I could try again but I also rank Madvillainy in my top 100 albums and would have no idea how to rank that one either. MF Doom is one of the best examples of an album artist to me. When I want to listen to one of his projects, I'm rarely listening to just one track. Sheep007: This album is almost entirely held up by the bars and wordplay which are, in fairness, phenomenal. Ive liked most of what Ive heard from MF DOOM and this was no different, really fun concept. MaxGalactica: This isn't quite as strong as other DOOM records I've heard, but this is still pretty great. The top 6 in my ranking have some really cool beats, and DOOM's flow is unmatched. I'm glad we got to cover this one. HBJDubs: Good album, but tough to rank individually --- My top 100 games (with write-ups): https://foolfantastic.com/top-100-video-games-project/ Top 250 songs: https://foolfantastic.com/3290-2/ ...

Consistently strong album throughout; nothing here I truly love but even the lower tracks are good. I definitely prefer Garbage's debut which is also consistently good but has a stronger top end.

Hammering in My Head
Push It Dumb Temptation Waits When I Grow Up The Trick Is to Keep Breathing Sleep Together Special I Think I'm Paranoid You Look So Fine Wicked Ways Medication When I Grow Up - I feel bad putting this so low because I had it higher up at first and then kept putting other stuff above it (although I did shuffle a few things afterwards). It's one of the "softer" songs on this album and I ended up ranking the "harder" stuff higher. But this is still my style and I do like it, it's just against tough competition on this album. I think that there is an alternate reality where I put this at #1 and leave everything else in the exact same order and that would still be alright. --- Hey man, LlamaGuy did encrypt the passwords.

This album was better than I was expecting based off of the sample tracks I tried during the voting process (I Think I'm Paranoid, When I Grow Up, and Push It). Hammering in My Head and Temptation Waits were especially cool. Most of the rest of the album ranged from okay to good. It's also always an interesting thing when the most popular song in an album is the worst song on the album. --- Don't trust everything that you read on the Internet. -Abraham Lincoln ...

There is just not a single bad song on this album. There are a lot of albums I love with one or two blemishes, but not this one. Ranking this album was tricky for me because I can hardly bring myself to pick a "worst" song on the album when literally nothing is even remotely close to bad, and best song is mostly the mood I'm in. This is a "deserted island" hypothetical pick for me. I am so happy that pretty much everyone has had a positive takeaway from this one.
