Oh crap, I was gonna partake in this I actually think Melodrama may have gotten my #1, and the Liability reprise would have gotten at least top 5. I dunno, they're both excellent album pieces that really help build the atmosphere and tie the album together while also sounding great on their own. Not surprised they're both out so early though, and Hard Feelings/Loveless isn't a bad track but is one of the weaker ones so I'm not surprised that's out now either. Hoping the Louve will get out soon, that's probably my least favorite track, even though it isn't terrible. Whoa, what? What makes you dislike The Louvre? I'm not gonna lie, it's 50% that stupid line before the pre chorus -- the "let's drop that boom boom boom, and make em all dance to it" one. It just sounds so stupid and out to place, I cringed a bit the first time I heard it. I've since gotten over that line a bit, but I wouldn't say the rest of the song does too much to distract me from it. It just sounds like a B-side imo.

I guess it's because the song actually ha.s some guitar in it. Guitar > Lyrics. ;)

"Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom" is the only reason why "The Louvre" isn't one of my top 4. That lyric turned me off immediately.
Then again, "Hard Feelings/Loveless" is bottom three, so what the hell do I know? :kii:

Green Light sucks, why is it still here. But knowing the population here it'll probably finish 2nd or something

That's the best lyric on the album. It's not even close to being the best lyric in the song. "But we're the greatest, they'll hang us in the Louvre Down the back, but who cares, still the Louvre" Not just the lyric, but the way Ella delivers it. Baffles me that those two sets of lyrics are on the same song.

Can't say I'm too surprised by the top 4, though I was hoping that "Writer in the Dark" would sneak in there. Damn.

Haven't even listened to full album yet, but there's no way Green Light is one of the 4 best tracks on the album.

The Louve did not deserve 5th ugh.
At risk of sounding like a hipster the top 4 feels way too predictable.

I just about died over my Kylie Minogue rankdown when something less predictable almost took the cake, and then one entry tanked it and made "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" the most predictable #1......

At least "The Lourve" made the top 5. I don't usually lose my #1 song this early in these games. This usally only happens to me on The Active randowns. Anyway watch "Green Light" win because it was the biggest hit on Poptart". I didn't even pay attention to it, till Chromeo turned into something better.

With the backing of the 'pop posters', Paramore's After Laughter is the most requested album to vote this rankdown. Next rankdown is catalog rankdown, so if we suggest an album, it must be an album that is no longer promoted and older than 18 months old. The albums from Alter Bridge, Seether and Slowdive get only 1 vote each and are hence eliminated. You can re-suggest them on the rankdown after this! The only album to enter the ballot is the new Arcade Fire album, which you can vote for in the next rankdown as well. With only 20 albums to choose from now, I can relax a bit on the elimination and entry processes on album suggestions and voting. Again, tagging pop posters because they may be interested in this. I'll only tag those who're interested (please reply below if you are!) after this rankdown. Also, vote for only six albums not instead of seven. (Ghost's Meliora will be on the catalog ballot since it's no longer promoted) Album Rankdown #14: Paramore - After Laughter
