Atting taylor because you either got distracted or forgot 😂. No, I didn't forget! Time just happens to fly faster than the speed of light anymore! My car ran into an issue not long after I came back from my brief vacation in Denver last week, and I'm trying to avoid going anywhere except to and from work, and any other absolutely necessary places, until I get it fixed. The good news is that it's a simple fix! Just something to do with my thermostat. However, I don't want to make it any worse by driving my car to death, and right now the only place I can get good WiFi is my local library, which isn't exactly walking distance from my house, lol I do have a great amount of lists already, but I'm still waiting to hear from at least one or two regulars before I close Twisted Angel out...the deadline for which is now obviously going to be extended, but only by a few days. How about next Wednesday, May 4? Hopefully any last-minute stragglers will come straggling in by then! Twisted Angel lists received:1. taylor 2. Az Paynter 3. someguy 4. Kanenrá:ke 5. nathanalbright 6. .indulgecountry 7. austin 8. ccarter1023 9. schnetzka 10. LBTrocks 11. castleoblivion26 This Woman lists received:1. taylor 2. .indulgecountry 3. LBTrocks 4. austin 5. someguy 6. Kanenrá:ke 7. nathanalbright 8. ClevelandRox 9. austin 10. tim 11. ccarter1023 12. schnetzka 13. castleoblivion26 Due: Wednesday, May 4

Twisted Angel: It's Results Time!I've got bboat11 's list, so I'm officially closing this album out! That's a total of 13 lists for this one, which isn't too shabby considering it's really a pop album in country rankdown land! Results will begin in earnest just as soon as I finish my personal year-end rankdown. Final Participant List (13): 12. 🌺CountryLineDancer 13. bboat11
Questions to get us started! 1. What will be #1?
2. What will take last place?
3. Which songs will make up the rest of the Top 5?
4. Which songs will make up the rest of the bottom 5?
5. Which song will come away as the most polarizing? Least?
6. Which of the two singles from this album will perform better than the other? ("Life Goes On," "Suddenly")
7. Which album track would you like to see do best?
8. Any other thoughts?

Hi. I'm sorry that reveals for Twisted Angel are taking so long to begin. :( I've been very busy with work for the past number of weeks, and I've got an interview to prepare for, for a job with Amazon that would pay upwards of $17.50/hr, making things easier for me to get out of the house and environment I'm in that's proven to be a major detriment to my mental health. I'm trying to get back into a better habit of reading more books, and trying to get back into writing my own, and overall trying to crawl out of the depression I've been in for over a year now. It's the stress of all this (and a couple other things) that's been causing me to become slow as molasses in regards to my rankdowns. I'm trying!! I'm hoping I've got time on Friday to finally begin reveals for this. The results will begin soon, I promise!

Y'all..."Tic Toc" is the dirtiest song I've heard in quite some time! That's quite an explicit way of saying to someone, "I want you to dick me down really, really good." Like...this is the most obvious sex song in the history of sex songs.

It's hard to breathe And my heart's sinking I'm slipping fast As I am reaching for you It's gonna hurt cause I have been there before Can't take much more Can't take another night Without you here beside me
I want to review my kisses On every inch of your body I want to reveal my secrets That only you should know I feel all this pain inside me That only your lips can make better I want to review my kisses

So...there's something rather peculiar about this three-way tie. Whereas I was able to distinguish the winner of the tie (the next song to be revealed) based on the standard deviation, I was unable to distinguish between "Tic Toc" and "Review My Kisses" within the tie. Not only do they both have the same standard deviation (how often in rankdown history has that ever happened?! bboat11 I feel like you would know ), but they both have the same highest ranking and the same amount of the same lowest ranking. After coming to a complete draw, I admittedly just decided to ultimately put "Review My Kisses" on ahead if only because I like the song better than "Tic Toc" I normally wouldn't try to tamper with the results in such a manner, but felt like there was no other option. Something had to come out ahead!

Coming out ahead as the leader of the tie is "Sign of Life," and while the first two songs to exit were the most polarizing, this one was on the polar opposite end of the spectrum! Pretty much everyone agreed that this one is a bit of a chore to get through. I will say, however, that I do rather enjoy that transition from this track to "Review My Kisses."

Ok so I love pretty much everything here let’s get that outta the way.
“Tic Toc” is wonderfully explicit and love the production. The melody isn’t my favorite on the album and it gets a little repetitive by the end. I thought this would be higher tbh.
“Review My Kisses” is just so sexual sounding, I love how she sounds here and while it’s not the most exciting track it’s still one of my go toos.
“Sign of Life” has a slightly annoying production holding it back. It feels disconnected from the vocals and lyrics to me. If that had been changed probably would’ve been in my top 4.

"Tic Toc" being out first is so MESSED UP! That is one of the best jams on the album!!! I can't with y'all. The production is killer on this, it's so catchy, and it's a top-notch sex jam.
"Review My Kisses" has a great vibe to it. The lyrics are low-key cringe to me tho lol. But I LOVE the vocal she does at the end when she belts out the word mine omg it is so good!
"Sign of Life" while I like it OK was the easy last choice on this album for me. Melody/production is much weaker than the rest of the album.

Hi. I am so sorry for the delays in getting this rankdown wrapped up in a more timely fashion. It has been a whirlwind few weeks, in many different ways. Believe it or not though, I was actually going to continue on with these reveals a couple days ago! But just as I was gathering up the data I had compiled for the results, my computer decided to crash on me completely. It’s officially dead. I just bought an iPad through my phone carrier today and it will be arriving within the next couple of days, so I promise that you can certainly look forward to these results continuing by the end of the week!
