so one of the things I've been setting up is a spreadsheet to check what ranks you've lost and how the rankdown is going in general, like the spreadsheets in the rock format rankdowns. you can view it here. and while I'm here, I may as well give a preview to #25 (although I might not reveal it for an hour at most): our #25 pretty much locked itself in as the #25 early on, although at the end of the day it's only four points ahead of the #24. 6 out of the 9 of us decided to put it in our bottom fives, and two of those are #25s.

I think it's definitely something from Antidotes. Maybe "Astronauts and All"?

Something pre-TLF please. I was thinking Astronauts and All as well.

Decent song, liked the instruments but it's one of their weaker tracks.

our #24 had a pretty similar story, while it did spend one list at #25 it settled into #24 very quickly. it's a good 31 spots away from #23, to give you an idea of how entrenched our bottom two was.
only five people put it in their bottom five this time, but two of those put it at #25 and the highest ranking is only #14, the lowest high rank of the game. as such, this has the fourth lowest standard deviation of the game.

lmao I guess "mathletics" was such a boring reveal that nobody wanted to comment on it in-thread
anyways, #23 is, as said before, way ahead of "mathletics". it still was a bottom five staple though, but it only got three bottom fives outright. we also lose another #25 and our first top ten!
(expect the actual reveal to take a bit longer, gonna take a break to have dinner, although I should be back in less than an hour)

I'm cool with these reveals so far.
There's nothing I remotely disliked – this whole list of songs were pretty damn solid.

#22 is our first song to not have spent most of its time in the bottom five, it was usually around the bottom half of the top twenty. we lose three bottom fives, including another #25, and we lose two top tens, including our first top five. this had the sixth highest standard deviation of the game.

and for our last reveal of the day, #21 is another song that spent most of its time in the bottom 10. it also has the fourth highest standard deviation of the game, something that's due to it having a good three top tens, but four bottom fives (including our 7th #25 of the game)

Over 150 plays later, Antidotes still does nothing for me. Hope we can see some more songs from that era in the next set.

24. Mathletics (#20) - Another solid track with a cool 'beat', though his vocals are a bit annoying here. 23. Give It All (#25) - Oh this is earlier than I expected. Not a bad song, it just bores me honestly. 22. Hummer (#5) - Woah wait wtf why is this out in the bottom 5? Awesome discovery, the instruments are so good. 21. Balloons (#11) - Damn this one deserved better too. The riff was nice.

Meant to post this yesterday, but forgot.
25. Astronauts and All (#17) - Disappointing first reveal. This was very frantic, loved how crazy it was. The fact that it was only 17 on my list says something about the strength of this list. 24. Mathletics (#23) - I do love math rock, but this wasn't one of the strongest ones of that genre here. 23. Give It All (#13) - Ugh, this has such a good build. Definitely should not have gone out so early. 22. Hummer (#18) - Like Astronauts and All, I really liked this one. I just couldn't rank it higher than I did. I need to check out more early Foals. 21. Balloons (#25) - This was the weakest song on this list, but it wasn't weak at all. Nice little math rock tune, just didn't stand out as much as the others here.

so yeah, should be time for more reveals, right? 20-11 today, maybe 20-6 if I'm feeling nice our #20 is the source of the first of three ties in this rankdown, with the tie being broken by the highest rank. we lose two top tens and two bottom fives here. this seemed to do okay at first, but got some low ranks by the end and just barely escaped the bottom five.

and on the other side of the tie, we have our #19, which also has two top tens and two bottom fives. its run was slightly different, though, it slipped a bit at the start but then recovered, only to come back down in the end.

This was nice but I found it as one of their least interesting songs.

peacebone should be pretty glad that he's just lost his bottom two back to back, especially after having such a terrible first set lol
