02.12.21 | here we go |
JohnnyoftheWell
02.12.21 | Waiting For You as the worst on Salvation get right out of here
p good going so far. What I Leave Behind, White Cell and Lay Your Head would be much lower, and ADTF t/t, Genesis, I Remember and Arrival much higher but no major upsets hmm
actually hold that thought, don't think i've ever seen anyone put Synchronicity above Mute Departure |
Artuma
02.12.21 | yeah not a huge fan of waiting for you or mute departure, both are a bit tedious imo |
BigPleb
02.12.21 | Putting a lot of EK songs in the first segment I see...my heart hurts.
As long as Ghost Trail is in your top 10 all will be forgiven. |
Relinquished
02.12.21 | 36 is 1 don’t @ me |
parksungjoon
02.12.21 | 36 is super good yea |
BigPleb
02.12.21 | I thought that was pretty low too.
All of the debut songs should be in the first half. |
Relinquished
02.12.21 | list is weird ngl
Imma have to re-do mine |
Relinquished
02.12.21 | scratch that must’ve deleted it |
Artuma
02.12.21 | 36 is super good, but then again a lot of things this band does is super good
"Putting a lot of EK songs in the first segment I see...my heart hurts."
ek starts out strong and then it goes kind of ehh
|
Artuma
02.12.21 | "All of the debut songs should be in the first half."
to be fair almost all of them are |
JohnnyoftheWell
02.12.21 | "ek starts out strong and then it goes kind of ehh"
lmao for real
also, just realised how low Receiver is. not enjoying the Beyond getting buried/mid-tiered here |
Relinquished
02.12.21 | EK prob could’ve done without the interludes but honestly it’s an interesting record on its own. also don’t forget it ends strong too. |
parksungjoon
02.12.21 | >36 is super good, but then again a lot of things this band does is super good
fair compromise |
Artuma
02.12.21 | "also, just realised how low Receiver is. not enjoying the Beyond getting buried/mid-tiered here"
that's unfortunately just what the beyond is for me, it's a heavy slab of things for sure but not all that much truly stands out
"also don’t forget it ends strong too."
oh no worries i got that one covered |
BigPleb
02.12.21 | I must be one of the only users who considers EK to be one of their best works, huh. |
Sniff
02.12.21 | 1 is 1 |
JohnnyoftheWell
02.12.21 | no u |
someone
02.12.21 | A Dawn to Fear t/t could be higher, but maybe it pales in comparison |
Sniff
02.12.21 | Can't wait to see Finland at 1 very unbiased take etc |
someone
02.12.21 | the only list where Finland takes the first spot
*klaxon noises* whoa whoa hot take *klaxon intensifies* |
osmark86
02.12.21 | Finland won the Eurovision with Hard Rock Hallelujah once and tend to perform well in Hockey. just have to give them a little cred ^^ |
JS19
02.12.21 | Dark City gonna take no1 |
osmark86
02.12.21 | Leave Me Here is still one of my favs. first song I heard from these guys and it has never gotten old. |
osmark86
02.12.21 | Adrift is also up there as one of my all-time favs, that middle section bounces |
dedex
02.12.21 | I also am in the "36 is too low" team but hey band is super good. Apart from that I pretty much agree with everything |
Snake.
02.12.21 | gonna be collusion if lights on the hill ain't #1 |
Artuma
02.12.21 | "Finland won the Eurovision with Hard Rock Hallelujah once and tend to perform well in Hockey. just have to give them a little cred ^^"
we are also pretty good at getting wasted and rolling around naked in the snow |
conesmoke
02.12.21 | Marching to the heartbeats \m/ |
Prancer
02.12.21 | receiver is pretty low
but dim is 1 and 1 is dim |
SgtShock
02.12.21 | Mute departure nooooooo :( |
Titan
02.12.21 | Art dog the suspense is killing me |
Artuma
02.13.21 | will post the next entries maybe later today |
Artuma
02.13.21 | part deux is up |
Atari
02.13.21 | cool list so far. I've only heard A Dawn to Fear and the new EP so pretty stoked to dive deeper into their music |
Sniff
02.13.21 | lemme grab their -98 demos for you real quick |
Demon of the Fall
02.13.21 | Setting up nicely for a Lights/Echoes/Finland finale. |
Pikazilla
02.13.21 | Pls delete list if cygnus is in the top 10
Jk, although I do disagree with this quite a bit |
Artuma
02.13.21 | got a spoiler for you pika cygnus ain't #1 |
Demon of the Fall
02.13.21 | Phew!
I won’t lie, you beat me to this (although mine was only in the ‘maybe I should do this’ stage so no harm done, lol). I’m sure yours will be better/more inclusive anyway, I’d have underrated Mariner too much for most people’s liking. |
Shuyin
02.13.21 | people are actually hyped for a sput list, my moneys on Finland taking nr1 |
Pikazilla
02.13.21 | That's cause Mariner sucks for the most part.
Kudos for the ranking attempt anyway. Band's catalogue is way too stacked for me to even try something like this. |
Sniff
02.13.21 | a more fitting project would be ranking Mare songs |
Artuma
02.13.21 | yeah finland ain't #1 either |
Flugmorph
02.13.21 | blessed list, i see a lot of agreeable takes. |
porcupinetheater
02.13.21 | "Pls delete this list if Cygnus is in the top 10"
Pls delete this list if Cygnus isn't in the top 10
Sorry Art, you're backed into a corner. Props for this undertaking, I do not envy having to do it |
Demon of the Fall
02.13.21 | @Sniff: yeah but that would get about 5 comments, if that. |
teamster
02.13.21 | In Awe Of is numero uno right? Well it should be.. |
Flugmorph
02.13.21 | yes |
porcupinetheater
02.13.21 | Top 15 includes: Leave Me Here, Finland, Dim, Dark City, Owlwood, Ghost Trail, Vicarious Redemption, In Awe of, S.S. Needle, Cygnus, Nightwalkers, Lights on the Hill, Wave After Wave
Fucking stunning |
Flugmorph
02.13.21 | ive got an owlwood right now |
porcupinetheater
02.13.21 | Now that's what I like to hear from the #1 Birb ;] |
Flugmorph
02.13.21 | hurr hurr hurr hurr |
Demon of the Fall
02.13.21 | Finland, Lights, Dim, In Awe Of + Ghost Trail are right up there.
Echoes also. |
Artuma
02.13.21 | "Pls delete this list if Cygnus isn't in the top 10"
it is no worries |
Artuma
02.13.21 | and so is echoes |
Artuma
02.13.21 | "In Awe Of is numero uno right? Well it should"
well fuck no
i hope you know what's #1, somebody guessed it already |
Sniff
02.14.21 | Dcdm is objectively the correct nr 1 |
porcupinetheater
02.14.21 | Top 5 DCDM, Lights, Ghost Trail, Cygnus, Echoes?? |
Artuma
02.14.21 | i think i will post 6-15 separately and leave the top 5 last |
porcupinetheater
02.14.21 | You MONSTER Art just going back on your word like that |
Sinternet
02.14.21 | with the amount of vertikal sacrilege in this list vicarious redemption better be top 3 |
JohnnyoftheWell
02.14.21 | Yeah, hype for In Awe Of too |
Ectier
02.14.21 | Im guessing Dark City or lights will take number 1 |
Artuma
02.14.21 | next entries added |
Flugmorph
02.14.21 | vertikal stans seething |
dedex
02.14.21 | Im guessing Dark City or lights will take number 1 [2] |
Artuma
02.14.21 | well there are five songs left so there's a 40% chance that you're right anyway |
Demon of the Fall
02.14.21 | My Lights/Echoes/Finland finale dream is dead, close enough though (with Finland the lowest at 8).
I may have just guessed Finland for other obvious (non-musical) reasons. |
Pikazilla
02.14.21 | cygnus in top 5? ewwwwwwww |
Flugmorph
02.14.21 | staunch contrarian disgusted at the sheer humanity |
Flugmorph
02.14.21 | think ive never given eternal kingdom the proper attention it deserves |
Artuma
02.14.21 | "Top 5 DCDM, Lights, Ghost Trail, Cygnus, Echoes??"
bingo |
JohnnyoftheWell
02.14.21 | DCDM and maybe Ghost Trail are yes
Echoes is honestly probs bottom half on Salvation for me, but still v good |
Artuma
02.14.21 | you kidding me? that intro dude |
Shuyin
02.14.21 | Leave me Here deserves being in the top 10, Finland too low :[ |
Gyromania
02.14.21 | Final songs today or we rage |
Artuma
02.14.21 | it'll be tomorrow |
BigPleb
02.14.21 | Echoes is gonna be no. 1, I can feel it. |
Gyromania
02.14.21 | "it'll be tomorrow"
This is f#!@%$ bull$#!& |
Artuma
02.15.21 | done |
porcupinetheater
02.15.21 | Fucking beautiful, a perfect top 5 to round everything off < 3 |
Dewinged
02.15.21 | This is absolute madness and I love it. Great job Art. Cygnus is obviously my #1 followed by maybe "Leave Me Here" but all in all, great ranking and write ups! |
FurtherDown
02.15.21 | Massive list! Crossing Over and Waiting For You are both top 10 for me nowadays, but any col ranking is a good ranking. |
Artuma
02.15.21 | thanks for the kind comments |
figure337
02.15.21 | The One is probably their most boring interlude but great list nonetheless. Great list and work my dude. Pretty much close to what i'd end up with. m/ |
Artuma
02.15.21 | honestly the interludes are completely interchangeable for me, any of the songs placed 72-78 might as well be last |
FurtherDown
02.15.21 | The One is imho right after Echoes their second best album introduction, the melody is heavenly and I remember hearing it for the first time and knowing that this album's gonna be classic... but I'm the synth guy so I get that this awe isn't universal. |
JS19
02.15.21 | cmon man why do you have to do this to my prediction :'( Even though your 1 is 1 agree |
Snake.
02.15.21 | I AM FUCKING NOSTRADAMUS |
Artuma
02.15.21 | you know me too well |
SgtShock
02.15.21 | The One is fantastic. That 'bouncy ball' of synth, the distortion, the distant siren... It's cinematic, cold, mechanical and conveys a great deal of space. In other words, it nails the feel of the whole record within the first two minutes. |
dedex
02.15.21 | very m/ |
Demon of the Fall
02.15.21 | I could dissect this and disagree with a few placements, but I won’t as honestly this is pretty darn good and the effort is commendable.
Much respect for putting Lights at numero uno, would’ve been easy to lean towards a heavy-hitter from their back catalogue by ‘default’. Beastly song.
Echoes, Finland, Ghost Trail, Dim, Nightwalkers all nice and high. |
Avagantamos
02.15.21 | CoL would be one of my all time favorite bands if not for Johannes' vocals |
evilford
02.15.21 | Goddamn waiting for you is really low lol
Good list doe, props |
Sniff
02.15.21 | I jammed dcdm live at the scala today and i can confirm it is still nr 1 |
Artuma
02.15.21 | whoa never thought this site would be so kind towards a ranked list |
porcupinetheater
02.15.21 | That's just 'cause most people on the site don't wind up with a functionally perfect ranked list when they do it. Nice work being the change |
Artuma
02.15.21 | lol |
Demon of the Fall
02.15.21 | This is reasonably high effort (presumably) for a ranked list, sometimes you get out what you put in. |
evilford
02.16.21 | Mos def. Even if u don't agree with the placement u gotta respek the effort |
Yazz_Flute
02.16.21 | Such a great band. |
Artuma
02.16.21 | at first i was gonna do just a top 20 or so but then figured it doesn't do enough justice for what these guys have put out so here we are |
Couteau
02.16.21 | Certainly my favorite current band since Isis (my favorite in this style) stopped. Remarkably consistent discography. |
MO
02.16.21 | "Yeah, hype for In Awe Of too"
fuck yea best track from vert no doubt |
Flugmorph
02.16.21 | gaaaaawd i love this band so much |
LelandAB
02.16.21 | Waiting For You is 45 spots too low |
LelandAB
02.16.21 | Also The Weapon is 1 |
Flugmorph
02.16.21 | lights on the hill really is one prolonged eargasm |
Atari
02.17.21 | I agree with you on the two best tracks on The Raging River. gonna dive into Highway next |
Artuma
02.18.21 | "lights on the hill really is one prolonged eargasm"
this pretty much
also not sure where all the love for waiting for you comes from |
JohnnyoftheWell
02.18.21 | Waiting for You is a top 5 surf rock song
Lights the Hill has the same hook as a LA Dispute song
Receiver is better than either
Cold hard truths only itt
|
evilford
02.18.21 | I just love waiting for you a lot, really cool progression but they have so many great songs... |
Artuma
02.18.21 | "Lights the Hill has the same hook as a LA Dispute song"
but i like la dispute
just don't like admitting it very often |
Crawl
07.31.21 | Honestly, I gotta agree with number 1 and most of this seems to more or less correlate with my ranking. Would put Lay Your Head to Rest a lot higher, though, it's stunning how much it packs into its short run-time.
Also, what La Dispute song has the same hook as LotH? |
JohnnyoftheWell
07.31.21 | You Ascendant, but Do Your Bones Glow At Night by the Veils also uses it (better than either probably)
all three are good tracks so maybe it's a good hook hm |
LelandAB
08.02.21 | Still dumbfounded how Waiting For You is *56* when it has the best build up of any Cult of Luna song. |
FurtherDown
08.04.21 | Yeah Waiting For You is top 10 just for that one massive drum break before the riff starts. |
