Oh hey, sorry, I came back online much later than I had planned to. We'll carry on tomorrow bc I'm a bit unprepared right now, so just expect a PM.
And you guys owe me a couple of posts/pages for all your absences so deal.

THIS WAS 2012 RATE | Finale
Hot Knife
The song we all didn't expect to make it this far let alone become Fiona's final song received a nice reception that took (at least) me by surprise. "The Idler Wheel..." ends with a bang and I mean banging drums with a hard-hitting percussion. With "Hot Knife" is just that simple, Apple compares herself to butter and her lover to a hot knife. Apple scats and hollers but the greatest part is the closer that overlaps various vocal lines into a series of voices. It's by far the strangest and the most brilliant moment of the album.
Lowest Ranker: Pat (5)
Pyramids
"Pyramids" is a 10 minute fusion of R&B and electronica influences. It's the "buzz" single that kicked off the album and there's no surprise that it has made it this far. The production on the first half is superb, futuristic and funktified. The track then transitions to its second part, which is an R&B mid-tempo section that's very suited for urban listeners if part 1 wasn't your style. Finally, the song ends with a short guitar section from singer-songwriter John Mayer. "Pyramids" is definitely up there as one of the best tracks of 2012.
Lowest Ranker: Ace Reject (3)
Wildest Moments
It's debatable if "Wildest Moments" is Jessie's best but if is one of the most standout or notable songs of Devotion and it's her lead U.S. single. She has an angelic voice, the record is soulful and inspirational. What seems to come off as a song about an intimate relationship is actually about friendship; its inspired by falling out Jessie had with her friend and how they can bring the best and worst moments out of each other. It's produced by the hip-hop hit maker producer Jeff Bhasker which explains the hard-hitting beat you would imagine hearing from Jay or Kanye. The song overall sounds like a smash hit that Alicia Keys missed out on and that's no shade at all - it's really that great of a pop record.
Lowest Ranker: Kingfisher (5)

That tricked me so much. 
I was like, oh okay, Hot Knife. Weird, but okay. I like the final 3! I would/should have given Hot Knife a 10 and the other two got 10s.

Was hoping for Wildest Moments, but Pyramids is OK. After everything Fiona wasn't even top 2. 
Great job doing this MP2K.
