Good results so far. Born To Beg deserved a bit better, the lyrics were nice there even though the melody was a bit used for The National.
I'm surprised my #4 hasn't shown up yet.

Empire Line was my #4 and I didn’t enjoy it that much. That’s how mediocre this album was.

This album is good but far from a masterpiece. Most of the songs don't stick with me long after hearing them save for the few at my top. Of course System is the highlight.

I did not expect the title track to be last.
The rest are not surprising.

I like my top 4 decently (and love my top 2), but the rest are meh, nothing I really dislike though. It's like one out of 10 National songs I really really like (if Don't Swallow the Cap ever makes a AAA rankdown it's a strong contender for #1), and the rest are all just there, boring but listenable.

"Dark Side of the Gym" was so robbed, man. Perhaps the most 'melodic' song on the album. "Turtleneck" grew on me a bit but it's still not one of the better tracks off the album, and shouldn't have been higher than that song. I get why people would prefer "Turtleneck", though, I think it's another one of those songs that's better live.

I agree with you on "Dark Side of The Gym"., and I liked it the first time I saw that Music Video you posted. A very nice song. Turtleneck" is another great song. Tonight's reveals kinda sucked.  |

Goddamn it! I just really loved Turtleneck for some reason. Now hopefully my 2 or 3 can win.

For our next catalog rankdown, it was a three way tie between Brand New, Rise Against and Deftones, all of them artists we've ranked before. And since Deftones we ranked the earliest, they're up next. Brand New and Rise Against will be the next two catalog artists we will be ranking after this. You can expect the form for White Pony to be up tomorrow.

"Carin" should not be closer to the bottom than to the top, and you will never be able to convince me otherwise. Not like anything would have changed the winner, though.
But never mind that shit, here comes White Pony. One question: Will we be ranking the original album, or will we be ranking the re-release with "Back to School"? Note: One will have a very, VERY easy last place for me.

Well, fuck the re-release version this album only starts with Feiticeira for me.
But hell yeah, this easily my 2nd favorite album of all time. An 11-track masterpiece.

SIGUR ROS!!! Like, two or three people will vote for it next time, but that album is one of the greatest I have ever heard, and I'm glad we'll be able to vote for it.
Well...at least last will be super obvious for me with White Pony. The rest of the album, on the other hand...I mean, it's White Pony. Another of the greatest albums ever made.

Yay, one of the three songs off the album I loved won! I would've prefered Day I Die but it's still all good.
I'll sit on the Deftones one, but I'd like to be on the tag list for future ones if possible, because there might be another one I want to do.

This album was semi-decent. I mush prefer +++(Crosses) songs. I do like some of the rockers, cuz they have some Manson vibes, but it's missing awesome Manson vocals. The songs also don't inspire much sing a long action from me. Even with the lyrics in front of me. Anyway, it wasn't as bad as I dreaded it would be.
What I really wanted to do, was get a submissions for both; STP ,and Breaking Benjamin, albums out into the mix
