As I said in the preview, there is a 3-way tie for #36 in points with 202. However, since the highest ranking for this song was only 14th, it loses in comparison to the other two songs.
I’ve quite enjoyed THICK’s debut album as it’s currently still in my Top 25 of the year. They have a very energetic garage punk, indie rock, and power pop sound that I loved. I hope to see more releases from them like it in the future. Definitely check them out and hopefully you won’t regret it.

Mest would say that it’s “Mested up!” that they don’t win the tie here. They get the #37 spot as #36 has a higher top ranking. Sorry for the dad joke
I was a big Mest fan in the early 00’s as they had some minor hits on Alternative like “Cadillac,” “Mother’s Prayer,” and “Jaded.” I loved their carefree pop punk/emo/ska style. They weren’t as big as many others at the time, but should fit into that era as well.
This was their first album in 6 ½ years and I was pretty content with it and glad to see them back.

Elephant Stone is a nice blend of psychedelic rock/pop and indie pop if you don’t know them well. I enjoyed their album more than I originally thought that I would. I had no idea that their first full-length album came out in 2009 as I’m just hearing of them this year. 36

Worriers was a nice discovery for me this year as this song came from their third full-length album. Their sound is similar to THICK in the pop punk/power pop/indie rock realm. I actually like Worriers album slightly better than THICK’s album as it’s in my Top 15 of the year so far. 35

I’ve been a Four Year Strong fan for almost fifteen years. They are one of the biggest bands in the easycore (which is basically a combo of pop-punk and post-hardcore) genre and it’s been five years since they released an album previously.
This album wasn’t “useless” for me despite not being my favorite in their discography. A very good comeback in a genre that unfortunately for me is dying out. 34

Only up one point up is #33. This is kind of a big one as two #50s are eliminated, but one Top 10 also gets taken away.
This also had a very wide journey if you look at the movements. This also has the highest SD in the rankdown with that being said.

The Chats were an interesting Aussie discovery for me this year with their debut album “High Risk Behavior” being released last March. Garage Punk can be a hit or miss genre for me, but The Chats do it in my opinion decently well. They’re not a band to take seriously and just have fun with.
There really is a massive divide within rankings here more than I might have ever seen on any of my rankdowns. 33

I was really excited when I heard that The Classic Crime had a new album being released this year. I really liked their earlier material from the mid-late 00’s. I will admit that I was a wee bit disappointed in this new one in comparison, but thought it was good enough to make this rankdown.
I’m surprised that I did rank them so low nevertheless. If you like stuff like The Almost, Anberlin, Emery, or Acceptance, check them out.
Congratulations to Geometrical for clearing your Bottom 10! 32

I am quite surprised that Wire is out so early. This is from their album “Mind Hive” that came out last January. They also released another album a few weeks ago of songs that were recorded this year and in 2010 appropriately called “10:20.” I dig ‘em both pretty well.
I will try to complete reveals for #21-30 tomorrow depending on how my day goes, but no guarantee unfortunately in the world of dad/husbandville. Speaking of that, I have to go yell at some kid to get his ass to bed. Have a good rest of your night (or day if you're across the world), everyone! 31

Apologies again for the week delay between reveals. I want to try to get #11-20 revealed tomorrow and then the Top 10 a few days later if possible.
As we now enter the Top 30, this one ends up two points above Wire’s song. One Top 10 is lost and someone clears their Bottom 10 as well.

singingrulebritannia already knows it if he read the preview, but congrats for clearing your Bottom 10!
Silverstein has always been consistent with their sound from album to album with a nice mixture of post-hardcore, pop-punk, emo, and metalcore. However, I’ve never been “wowed” by any of their material. This new album continues the trend of being good to listen to if you’re into their sound, but I don’t know how often I’ll come back to it be honest. 30

So… as in typical AI-fashion, I’m the first to lose my #1 here with The Birthday Massacre. As I believe I said in the Delain reveal, I’ve really gotten much more into gothic rock this year. I’ve heard a few songs from them before, my god this freaking album blew me the hell away as they add synthpop, darkwave, and industrial into the mix.
This is still currently my #1 album of the year and the mixture of Chibi’s vocals and the instrumentation of feeling like I’m in a fantasy and horror movie mixed in one is amazing to my ears. I absolutely need to do a discog run for them at some point.
But yeah… I have no regrets at all putting this in my top spot. 29

I don’t think Circa Waves have reached their full potential yet. This song for example to me stands out as pretty damn good. However, I only have that thought on occasion when it comes to listening to their material. It just needs to be overall more consistent in terms of competing in the world of many other bands in the Indie Rock/Indie Pop scene. 26
