I liked the guitar and electronic sounds that gives this a cop film OST vibe. aerodynamite loses a top 10. |

Night Train has one of the more on-the-nose sound choices here, which include an announcer voice and the "ting-ting"s sound that one may associate with trains.

We'll Be Coming Back (KillSonik Remix) is the winner of the tie between #27 and #28. I think the first drop is banger but the second drop is a lot weaker like other songs of same kind. The outro is quite nice though. HamedM1 💔 loses a top 5 while aerodynamite loses yet another top 10. |

Breakn' A Sweat (Zedd Remix) is another remix purged. I'm pretty confident everybody likes the 2:13~2:27 part, right? The outro with vocoder vocals sounds odd though. trilogy loses a top 10. |

I got a perfect ranking for I Am Electric. It's a mindless headbanger song that is quite suitable for a racing game. razorshark loses a top 3. |

I really thought this would be higher because of familiarity factor, apparently not so and it kept falling during submission process.
I also thought it was a much older black singer singing this, s I was surprised when I found out who John Newman is. The saxophone is quite cool.
I lose a top 10 here.

If anyone is going to boost a mindless headbanger it's me. Ya, I Am Electric is perfect for a game like this.

Howl is a bit too fierce for me. Agree that 1:00 is a good nitro moment. Interesting that this song mostly climbs during submission process. razorshark loses a top 10. |

If you ask me to guess the origin of this band, Australia is definitely my last answer. It feels like an US indie pop song that can blow up unexpectedly. Really enjoy the synths here. HamedM1 💔 got a perfect ranking. |

A Light Goes Off is so consistent at the beginning of the submission process but then gets a big dip and never recovered. I think this is one of the more sophisticated remixes in the rankdown. aerodynamite got a perfect ranking here. |

Circles Around The Sun is the song just made in top 20 by 1 point. Spoiler alert there are a lot of rankings with close points so be glad or feel pitiful as you might. Not too surprised tim being the highest ranker considering the harmonica solo. |

The Road is a nice but not particularly memorable listen to me. This song climbed up during submission process from over 30s to inside top 20. Quite impressive. peacebone loses a top 10. |
