"Nothin' Left" was my near #1.

This could be a post-hardcore song.

Cool. I wasn't a fan of Davey's vocals on this.

Close enough. This was great. Nice to hear some harsher stuff from Davey.

So this is just going to be one of those rankdowns, isn't it?
(You guys always do this song dirty in every game it's in, and it never fails to make me angry.)

#31 takes care of the third highest standard deviation of the game. For the first time, we lose four top 10s, and two of them are top 5s. To balance that out, there are four bottom 10s, and three of them are bottom 5s. This song never experienced any trend throughout the submissions process, mostly hovering in this area the entire time.

I knew this was gonna get tanked. It's those vocals, you either love them or hate them. Unfortunately, there were more haters.

I cannot say that I'm surprised but I would have liked my top 3 to go farther. Otherwise, I am doing fairly decently with only one of my bottom ten remaining at #46. I liked this song but it just didn't stand out that much to me with such a strong list.

You know what time it is? It's time for a special Christmas edition of rankdown reveal night!
#30 takes us to a song that was a top 20 contender for most of the submissions process, but the last few rankings tanked it hard. We lose only two top tens and one bottom 10, but there are a lot of lower rankings even if they're not bottom 10. This is by a one-hit wonder.

Does anyone else remember that "The Widow" was a top 10 hit on Alt? I've never heard it on any major (read: corporate) Alt station, and they never charted again. L'Via L'Viaquez flopped pretty badly, but I think it still made top 50. #29 brings us to a stretch of four songs that are separated by two points. We lose two top 10s in this one, including one by someone reeling, and this song proved to be more divisive than I thought. There are four bottom 10s and two bottom 5s. The lowest ranker is exactly who you'd expect.

#28 will surely piss of a lot of people. A rankdown-high four top 10s leave us, and one of them is a top 5, and it's by a person who is running out of top songs to lose. The top 10 rankers were the only people to place this in their top half, because while there is only one bottom 10, it is a bottom 5. Most of the rankings simply resided in the 30s. Those who ranked this highly have a reason to be angry, because this was top 10 late in the submissions process before free-falling.

I thought of putting "It's Nice to Know You Work Alone" at #50 for shits and giggles, but I decided to play nice.

30. Zed and Two Naughts - the Mars Volta is fucking amazing. 29. It’s Nice to Know You Work Alone - a bit of an underwhelming SSPU song 28. From Out of Nowhere - this was cool, had a similar vibe to Epic and I love that song

#27 was actually the number one after two lists. It then showed mostly downward movement. This song has the sixth highest standard deviation, and is the first half of a tie with #26. We lose three top 10s, including two top 5s. On the flip side, we lose three bottom 10s, all of which are bottom 5s. Some people who have greatly suffered will finally breathe a sigh of relief.

#26 is the other half of the tie, and remember, ties are broken by highest seeding. "O.N.E." had a #2, so that means this song is home to another #1 loss. This song has the fourth highest standard deviation in the rankdown, and this bounced up and down a lot. This song flirted with the top 20, jumping straight into the top 15 twice only to get knocked back down. Eventually, the detractors sent this out of the top 20 and just outside the top half of the list.
There are two top 5 losses in total, three top 10 losses in total, and three other top 20s. There are only three bottom 10s, but two of them are bottom 5s. The bottom 15 rankings are more of what sealed its fate.

I forgot the lead singer of this band was Dallas Green (aka City and Colour).
For some reason, I thought it was Frank Turner (before listening).
