Caroline Polachek - Pang RD (Finished)

[HamedM1 💔]

One of my favorite albums in recent years and also one of the most critically acclaimed records of 2019, Pang by Caroline Polachek is a Art-Pop and Alt-Pop 14 song long masterpiece. The album is an ethereal record led by the talents of Polachek's musical talents ranging from her fantastic songwriting to being the executive producer of her very own record. Anyways we are here to rank the 14 songs of the album from worst to best, not that there is a single bad song on this record. 
With that said here is the tracklist:

The Gate
Pang
New Normal
Hit Me Where It Hurts
I Give Up
Look at Me Now
Insomnia
Ocean of Tears
Hey Big Eyes
Go as a Dream
Caroline Shut Up
So Hot You're Hurting My Feelings
Door
Parachute

Sent. My list looks completely different than the first Pang rankdown. Honestly, a great album without any bad songs.

[HamedM1 💔]

Submissions are fully closed and results are ready, reveals will begin tomorrow, for now here are the usual questions:

1. Which songs do you expect to perform well?

2. Which songs do you expect to perform worst?

3. Which songs do you expect to be very polarizing?

4. Which songs do you expect to be least polarizing?

5. Where do you expect your #1 and #14 to land?

If you would like to be tagged for results as an audience member, like this post or just let me know in the chat.
In the meanwhile stream her new bop Sunset, and of course thank you for your patience.

My Thoughts: Not surprised, its a good opener but it is basically an interlude, granted their is the extended mix but that goes on for a whole 10 minutes so I doubt it would've done any better had I included that instead.

My Thoughts: This is down their with Go As a Dream for me, I appreciate the writing but melodically it lacks to stand out from the crowd to where it almost feels like filler, granted this is an album where the filler cuts are still better than entire other albums so that's not an insult. I am surprised to see this get the most polarizing response since I assumed most people would rank this bottom 5.

[M5AGTS]

This was one of the ones I really liked. Shame it's out so early.

My Thoughts: It's pretty cool how this song has an unconventional format where it is composed of 6 verses which tell random short anecdotes that happened over the course of making the album. Also funny that this is tied with Insomnia in points since they were written in the same week too.

"insomnia" deserved better tbh

My Thoughts: This one ended up growing on me over the past month surprisingly, maybe its cause I relate to the lyrics much more personally now more than ever or maybe I appreciate the beat loop more now.

I love the ambient moments on Pang.

My Thoughts: This had the inverse of my relationship with I Give Up to where it dropped off on my list over time, I still enjoy it but I enjoy everything else more now.

My Thoughts: A bit shocked this missed top 5, I assumed it was gonna make it for sure but nope. I enjoy Parachute and its a good closer to the record but it never has been a favorite for me. Anywho, that's the last reveal today, the top half will be revealed tomorrow probably around the same time as reveals today. Thank you for following along so far!

I love I Give Up so much for some reason

I knew this was gonna come, sooner or later.

In my mind, "The Gate", "Insomnia" & "Parachute" are a trilogy. The pillars of the album. That's why the first one is the opener, the second is right at the middle and the latter is the album closer.
