Still one of the most crushing and booming riffs I've ever heard in a song.
Miss you every day, shazam.
(Congrats on being the first to clear your bottom ten, @trilogy.)

Not my favorite Anberlin song, because "Feel Good Drag" has really grown on me over the years, but definitely a solid runner-up.
Sorry, maine.

My favorite peacebone-like discovery, even if it isn't quite my favorite song I discovered through peace. The way the last chorus builds is so freaking good, my god.
Congrats on clearing your bottom ten, willapted33...and sorry, @trilogy.

justin timberlake and timbaland just know how to make a great song together. it was a personal discovery for me earlier this year, so it was really cool to see it here.

"(*Fin)" is just an absolutely incredible song. One of the greatest songs I've heard in my life.

you’d think with a list this good it’d be hard for the results to suck this consistently, and yet…

I went over this list and noted the songs that I thought would be top ten contenders. This was not the only pseudo contender that missed out, but this was the only one I thought would be a lock to make it that missed, and it's not all that close.
Obviously, it's been a few years since this RD, and the competition here is, arguably, tougher...but I'm still kind of shocked we're revealing this song now and not before the top ten.

Up until I made a last-minute decision, this was my #1 going away. It's, to this day, one of the single best discoveries I've made in any Pulse game, a song so good that it, almost by itself, made me a fan of a band that I wasn't particularly into before, a song that was such a strong first listen that it forced me into ranking it ahead of "Making Plans for Nigel" by XTC, a song I had loved dearly for years.
I have made better discoveries through Pulse over the years, but this might have been the most eye-opening one.

The instrumentation on “Blind” sounds great but I’m not really fond of the deep voice.
Now I’m thinking I might have underranked my remaining bottom 10 song to some extent.

I believe there were two songs on this list that won as a discovery. Neither made the top 15 here, let alone the top ten. While "(*Fin)" found itself not even making the top half, this at least had enough juice to get this far.
Congrats on clearing your bottom ten, decadevia.

It seemed that I enjoyed “Not New” more than others did in March Madness and the song was a bit underrated, but I don’t feel the same way about “Infinite Cities”.

Not quite my favorite Wintertime Madness discovery, but the one I most associate with that series. Just a fantastic summer song.
