Artuma: ALL Cult of Luna songs ranked

Artuma 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.
