I think another is coming shortly, but the last OML song probably isn't coming for a little while, if I had to guess.

Curious as to who placed this at #3. It was in my top 10, but not quite that high.

I hit post early, am editing it now to include the ranks sorry about that ETA: actually looking back over it I have the info wrong because the other person voted for the original version of this song not the remix, so I am just gonna include videos to both versions on there. Numbers are also wrong because I read the points the song got not the place it was ranked.

so because of my mistake with Album track #10 it is actually not #10 and is our first Honorary Mention! Any song that received 10 points or more or had 2 versions of the same song voted on will be spotlighted this way. There are 2 other honorary mentions to come. The real album track #10 will be up next:

Ayy, good choice. Would've probably included that on my album tracks list. Always thought this should've been a single, though to be fair there were many good choices on Metoera.

What the hell? I like "Heavy" but I would've much rather seen it get out than all of these top 20's of mine, lol. :(

Album Track #10: Figure.09 This was my #10, too. I'm full of mistakes tonight, fixed it, copied the wrong name for one of the #10 rankings. Sorry about that!

Alright, I don't really care for this one either, but it's pretty decent. I'm fine with it leaving, though.

I'm going to screw up a ton with my rankdown, I just know it. mistakes happen, I just tend to kick myself every time I do lol, especially when I keep doing it. It is all a learning curve though, you will do great! My thoughts on what has been eliminated thus far: "Battle Symphony", "Not Alone", "Good Goodbye", and "Wastelands" are all good songs imo but definitely not among their strongest songs. "Invisible" and "Talking To Myself" are interesting to me and while I had a hard time with where to rank them myself because they just don't really fit alongside their other music I do like both of those songs (actually I do like the OML album as a whole and respect them for doing what felt right for them). Not surprised with how poorly the album did as a whole though. Only two songs from that album remain "One More Light" and "Heavy". How long will they remain? Tomorrow night I will post Songs 35 through 31! We will also see our first Album Spotlight! Also 4 songs highest rankings were in the Top 5! Including 2 of which were Top 2 ranks!

Thankfully, I don't think they'll be any of my top 5. But I do have a feeling "Heavy" will be one of them...

That was a lot of hate against OML... I mean, yes, it's likely the album the performed the worst in my ranking as well, but I find much worse songs from other albums than a few of OML songs. I just think that sometimes people get fixated on genres and a song can't be appreciated on its own individual quality but it's ostracized, condemned because IT'S TOO POP!!! for Country or for Rock. Anyway. I had only heard Heavy from OML before this RD, so all other songs were discoveries for me, and I found solid pop songs there. Battle Symphony was a particular highlight. I do like how Chester sings the chorus, I appreciate the lyrics, and well the verses reminded me of I Believe, a 1990s song I do like as well. Sad to see it leave at the bottom (before Not Alone?!?!!!) Invisible and Good Goodbye are also good pop songs --and I certainly prefer that type of melodic sound than the guttural, noisy scream of a couple songs still on All good with Wastelands and Talking to Myself though :)

I hate how anytime there's criticism against OML, people just defend it like it's just the genre that's the problem. It could be the debut album to a brand new band but it's still an uninteresting, soulless commercial move.

"Invisible" and "Talking to Myself" deserved a bit better. They should have been the last two standing from One More Light. Maybe both could have escaped the 30s?
Everything else is right on the mark though.
(can you tag me in results? didn't have time for this sadly)

Heavy is one of my favorite songs of the last year or so. It doesn't sound like Linkin Park, but it is a good pop song though. One of the best songs from the album. Most of the album is unlistenable

A collaboration between Linkin Park and Kiiara should be cause for celebration, but Heavy exhibits none of the qualities I like about either.

The right OML song is the last one to fall.
