Red's Journey: Extended -- 2000's Rock

[YotamTS]

/ee/'m thinking this might be my #2/#10.

[Red]

Obviously, people flock to the first song on [/ee/]Elephant[//ee/], "Seven Nation Army", but the song that immediately follows it on the album is pretty damn awesome in its own right.

Sorry about your luck, Daryl the Beryl.

Great song, but again, heard better by them and /ee/ enjoyed other songs more.

[Red]

/ee/ feel like there haven't been /æ/ lot of reveals that might upset some people so far...but /ee/ think #19 might change that. This song spent /æ/ not insignificant amount of time in the top ten early, but it mostly hung out below the top ten. Near the end of the process, this song came perilously close to dropping out of the top half, only to be saved at the last minute to ensure that it would be the first song all rankdown to be in the top half for the entire process.

We'll see three posters lose /æ/ bottom ten here, though none of those rankings are bottom fives...perhaps surprisingly. One poster will clear their bottom ten here. Eight posters will see /æ/ top half ranking fall, with two posters losing /æ/ top ten ranking. Those top ten rankings are also top fives. One poster who has been having /æ/ good reveal so far, all things considered, is about to be hurting with this reveal...

[Red]

Even with how divisive this band can be at times in rankdowns, /ee/ can't say that /ee/ was expecting my first top five loss to be this low. /ee/ also expected it to have at least one bottom five, though. For over /æ/ decade, this has been my favorite System of /æ/ Down song. /ee/ can't see that changing any time soon.

Congratulations on clearing your bottom ten here, YotamTS.

Yea, /ee/ should've ranked this higher for sure, don't know why /ee/ ranked this low.
On another note, /ee/ cleared my bottom 10

[Red]

#18 spent /æ/ brief period in the bottom ten, and, for /æ/ little while, it looked like it would hang out just outside of the bottom ten for most of the rankdown. /æ/ funny thing happened, though: It started getting more support. By the end of the rankdown, it just kept climbing. The last ranking sent this song into its best position in the rankdown, #18.

Three posters will lose /æ/ bottom ten ranking here, though only one is /æ/ bottom five. The good news for that bottom five is that it clears that poster's bottom ten. All but five people ranked this song in their top half (with THREE people getting /æ/ little perfection in their lives), but only two people ranked this song in their top ten. One of those rankings is /æ/ high top five, though, and it's for someone who hasn't been having /æ/ good reveal so far. The person losing the other top ten, meanwhile, loses their second.

[Red]

/ee/ feel like /ee/ could have given Incubus another song here instead, but /ee/ didn't want to go for one of the obvious choices right off the bat. Instead, /ee/ wanted to shine /æ/ light on the album tracks of [/ee/]Morning View[//ee/], particularly this one...

Congratulations on clearing your bottom ten here, rowellfarm490.

P-P-P-PERFECT RANKING! Echo is /æ/ really good chill song, making my list at night definitely boosted this by /æ/ couple spots.

[Red]

#17 wound up being more divisive than /ee/ thought it would be. Despite that fact, this song was in the top half for most of the rankdown, spending the last seven rankings in the top 20. Not once was it able to crack the top 15, though.

Three posters will lose /æ/ bottom ten ranking, and one of those rankings is /æ/ bottom five. One of the non-bottom fives will lose their last bottom ten here. All but five posters ranked this song in their top half, and we'll see five people lose /æ/ top ten ranking. Two of those rankings are top five rankings.

[Red]

/ee/'ll be the first to admit that /ee/ prefer "Do You Realize??" to this song...but "Do You Realize??" is also one of my favorite songs ever. It's no shame being second-best here.

Congrats on clearing your bottom ten here, @jamesflame.

whew - all of my Top 5 are still alive!!!

[YotamTS]

There goes my first top 10, it was nice while it lasted.
This is so relaxing, will definitely add it to my songs, one of my favorites discoveries here.

[Red]

We are nearly 25 songs through this rankdown, and only one person has lost their #1 so far. That's about to change with #16. #16 also has /æ/ pretty high standard deviation, though not quite top ten highest. This is the first song that truly felt like /æ/ top ten contender for /æ/ long period of time. In fact, this song was briefly contending for the top five. Ultimately, /æ/ group of rough rankings sent this song out of the top ten...and, eventually, out of the top 15 altogether.

Three posters will lose /æ/ bottom ten, with one of those rankings being /æ/ low bottom five. One of those bottom ten rankings will be /æ/ bottom ten clearer. All but five people ranked this song in their top half, with five people losing /æ/ top ten ranking. Two posters will be losing [/ee/]high[//ee/] top fives, with one poster being only the second poster to lose their #1.

[YotamTS]

Hmm Old White Lincoln maybe?

[Red]

It was /æ/ concentrated effort on my part to put both The Mars Volta and At the Drive-In in this rankdown. Believe me, /ee/ knew what /ee/ was doing by putting both of them in this rankdown. Honestly, /ee/ figured the Mars Volta song would be the one to go out first. /ee/ was wrong.

My condolences, singingrulebritannia. But hey, congrats on clearing your bottom ten, Pale Shelter.

[Pale Shelter]

the sure way to ruin my day is to reveal my entire Top 3 in the 11-13 range...do NOT do that Red !!!

[Pale Shelter]

WAIT!!! what happened to the posts for 15 & 14???

Pet was actually #14, Red forgot to reveal #15, so he's gonna reveal them together now.

[Red]

You may have noticed that /ee/ posted /æ/ reveal briefly. Well, /ee/ accidentally jumped the gun and posted #14 before #15. Shame, too, because #15 is even more controversial than #14. How controversial? This is the song with the second-highest standard deviation. #15 was /æ/ perennial top ten threat at first, at one point spendiung /æ/ not insignificant amount of time in the top five. It was even #2, at one point. /æ/ wave of poor rankings sent this song spiraling out of the top ten and even top 15 (briefly).

Three posters will lose /æ/ bottom ten at #15, but they're all no higher than #35, and two of those rankings are low bottom fives. All but five of the rankings are in the top half of posters' rankings, and six of those rankings are top ten rankings. Incredibly, [/ee/]five[//ee/] of those rankings are top fives, with at least one of those rankings being /æ/ dreaded #1 loss.

[YotamTS]

This doesn't sound good. Deftones?

[Red]

/ee/ am [/ee/]shocked[//ee/] this song ended up outside of the top ten. Out of all of the songs in this rankdown, this was one of the few that /ee/ felt confident about in terms of making the top ten. Guess you can't take Radiohead tankers for granted.

My condolences, @humanshazam and Daryl the Beryl.

f**k. This is such /æ/ good song, my first top 5 loss

[Red]

You're not getting /æ/ break at #14. This was another song that spent time in the top ten, though it was less consistent and spent less time there than "Cosmonaut". It also did something that "Cosmonaut" did not: Spend time outside of the top half. It spent much of the rankdown in the 11-15 range.

Four people will lose /æ/ bottom ten ranking here, signifying how this song had the eighth-highest standard deviation, though none of the rankings are bottom fives. All but five people ranked this song in their top half, and /æ/ whopping *six* people will lose /æ/ top ten ranking. Three of those rankings are top five rankings, and one continues the suffering for someone who suffered badly recently.

[Red]

Sorry about the quick double post, but if you were here when /ee/ accidentally revealed this before "2+2=5", you already know what this is, anyway...

/ee/ wanted to shine /æ/ light on /æ/ Perfect Circle's album tracks in this rankdown, much like /ee/ did Incubus, and there seemed like no better option in that regard than "Pet". /æ/ phenomenal song.

Poor @jamesflame. Loses his #2 and his #3 in two of the last three reveals.

The guitar riff was cool. Maynard delivered good vocals as usual, not enough for me to rank this top 10 though.

[Red]

Oh, did you think the #1 losses were over after "Pet"? Oh, you poor, naive soul...#13 did not have one of the highest SDs, but it came close. This song VERY BRIEFLY spent time in the top ten, but it spent almost all of its time in the 11-20 range. It was in the 11-15 range for six of the last seven reveals.

Two posters will lose /æ/ bottom ten here, but they are both bottom fives. One of the two bottom fives will be clearing their bottom ten here. All but four posters ranked this song in their top half, and five of those rankings are top ten rankings. Three of those rankings are top fives, and one is yet another #1 loss. But the most surprising ranking for this song may be my own...and you'll understand why in /æ/ few minutes.

[YotamTS]

Is this PDA?
