Hey Daryl the Beryl just curious why you're excluding everyone's individual rankings with your posts It's in the image between the average rank and my thoughts, forgot to clarify

40. I Give You Power - messy song. Why did they make this again? Also.... P-P-P-PERFECT RANKING 39. Supersymmetry - a bit too long and drawn out, but also a little boring. 38. Electric Blue - annoying like other singles from EN. Also P-P-P-PERFECT RANKING 37. Rococo - probably my least favorite song from The Suburbs. And yet another... P-P-P-PERFECT RANKING 36. Joan of Arc - this one felt a little too disjointed

40. I Give You Power (40): Clear last place since I heard it. What were they even thinking (beyond maybe protesting against Trump)? 39. Supersymmetry (38): Don't mind length or pauses at all :) it was just too samey, monotonous for me 38. Electric Blue (32): The beat and vibe are good , but the vocals were too sharp/almost annoying for me 37. Rococo (19): This one kept growing on me as I was doing the ranking. Started around 31 but with each listen the instrumental, verses, post-chorus kept hypnotizing me. I still have the melody in my head. An interesting discovery for me. 36. Joan of Arc (33): Interestingly, this was one of 4 songs off Reflektor I had downloaded, following my reading of an album review. This was also my lowest ranking of a song I had already heard. They have much much better songs.
~Now I'm just waiting for my #39!~

No complaints about the low rankings for "I Gave You Power" and "Electric Blue", but "Rococo" deserved better. Not familiar with the two Reflektor tracks eliminated so far. I couldn't find the time and mental energy to listen to every song I didn't know here, but I'm interested in the results.

None of these first couple of reveals are big shocks. Not like I expected "Rococo" to survive for a while, anyway.

For our #35, we see the second highest standard deviation of the entire rankdown. Two top 10s will be lost here, one of which is a #2. We also lose a #40 here.

I mean, I only really dislike "I Give You Power" here. Everything else, I can at least tolerate, even if I'm not a big fan of the other songs in my bottom five.

And with that, Neon Bible is the last album to have all it's songs remaining. But how long will it stay that way?
#32 sees the fourth lowest standard deviation; no one ranked this top 10.

For #31, we see two top 10s tossed out of the window. It's not in the top 10 highest standard deviations.

I would normally stop here, but #30 is the highest standard deviation for this entire game, so I might as well reveal it now. We both lose a #1 and a #40 here. Two other top 10s will be lost, and 7 other bottom 10s will be eliminated.
