This is the most 'Reputation' of the album and I absolutely love it. Seeing it get so much hate is disheartening.

This has always reminded me a bit of "you should see me in a crown" instrumentally which I like, and for whatever reason the lyrics just don't bother me here. they do on Karma though so can that one please leave asap

I know some of you were waiting for it, #18 is "Vigilante Shit". Its 11 last place ranks were the highest in this rankdown, but it did have some fervent supporters that allowed it to not only escape last place but the bottom 3 as well. It also has the highest standard deviation in rank out of any song in this rankdown. Personally I think "Vigilante Shit" is the track I want to return to the least, which is why it's my last place (now is it kind of a bop? well... kind of?)
#17 sees a return to a "calmer" reveal if you will.
#17 Preview #1: 0 Top 5: 3 Bottom 5: 19 #21: 2

I expected this to go out sooner, but this has grown on me since first listen. I quite like the production of this one! Agreed with Leaf's above comparison to "You Should See Me in a Crown," and honestly I think that may be a part of why I like this so much.
I totally get the criticisms of this even if I don't agree. I find it kind of sweet how she tries to be dark but sprinkles in a few cute Taylor-ish touches to the song, like the "draw the cat eyes sharp enough to kill a man" line. It's definitely an acquired taste though lol.

"Paris" is cute and fun but personally that's where it stops. Sorry to the entire population of France.
There's a big points gap between "Paris" and the #16 song, 51 points to be exact. Another #1 loss is incoming as well!
#16 Preview #1: 1 Top 5: 5 Bottom 5: 16 #21: 2

“On the way home/ I wrote a poem / You say “what a mind” / This happens all the time” - this part is so cute to me and saves Sweet Nothing.
Nothing is surprising me yet other than “Paris” got tanked too far. It’s a bop.

Condolences kimberly for being the second victim of the night. "Labyrinth" bounced around #15 and #17 the entire submission process, settling just outside of the top 15 in the end. We're doing 7 reveals each set so #15 is the final reveal for the night! #15 Preview#1: 0 Top 5: 6 Bottom 5: 16 #21: 3

Condolences to wyckyd for the first #1 loss of the rankdown! "Sweet Nothing" becomes the first standard edition track to make its exit in this rankdown. I saw it coming lol. I love the lyrics & how low-key the music is.

I was prepared to argue Dear Reader and Paris were too low, but Labyrinth at #16 is criminal behavior. Shame on all involved.

High Infidelity should have been Top 10 easily.

“High Infidelity” is a fine song, but not one I’m ever compelled to revisit. Disagree with the “Vigilante Shit” antis, but I also don’t revisit it often. “Labyrinth” is rather boring, sorry “Paris” deserved a bit better…but nothing could’ve prepared me for what happens during tomorrow night’s reveals.

Lol if “High Infidelity” had been track 2 and not a 3AM track, it would have finished Top 5. What’s next? “Would’ve, Could’ve, Should've” at #14?
Mess.

Eh, not the worst results but definitely could have been better.
Glitch and Vigilante Shit are she trying trendy “alt-pop” sound but failed.
Dear Reader and Labyrinth meanwhile are “artsy” moments that don’t quite click in the end unfortunately.
Sweet Nothing did a solid job at being a penultimate somber moment.
Paris doesn’t suit the album vibe at all but it’s a more engaging listen than most of the other songs.
Like the double entendre from High Infidelity a lot, while maintaining the album mood in its instrumentals.
