This one makes me feel so good! I'm glad it made the top ten.

#06 Lisztomania
Average: 8.94
Highest Score: 10 (jqnetto, RatedG, electroheart, MP2K, @michael., Gui Blackout)
Lowest Score: 6 (Owl)
I feel like we havent heard from these guys in a while. Well, theyre back with Lisztomania!
This song did quite well statesdie, peaking at 4 and 5 on Alternative and Rock, respectively
Slash, look at how close we are to the 9s. And, the top five for that matter. Which, by the
way, looks like this;
The xx 2
Everyone else - 1

Oh, this is a fairly solid top 5!
I want it to be:
5. 1901
4. Intro
3. Stillness Is the Move
2. Islands
1. My Girls
though honestly the top 3 are basically interchangeable.

Excellent song, but I can't help but wish its spot belonged to "Love Like a Sunset, Pt. II."
This is honestly a very good top five. I love everything in it (four 10's and a 9.5).

I guess I'd be fine with anything winning, but if I had to choose:
1. Stillness is the Move
2. Islands
3. 1901
4. Intro
5. My Girls
It's so close, though!

#05 My Girls
Average: 8.95
Highest Score: 10 (Great Username, madonnas, MP2K, @michael., alkralkra, Gui Blackout, sticks)
Lowest Score: 8 (Owl)
Wahhahhahhalallah. OK, sorry, I just really love this song. Its possibly my favorite song
on this entire rate. I mean its so amazing; I love it when the drums kick in after the intro.
So amazing! This was the first single off of Merriweather Post Pavillion. And, fun fact. The
single was released a month or two after the album was. Also, I thought it would have been
really cute if the top five all had averages above nine. Apparently, some of you had other plans.

Excuse me while I compose the obituary for Animal Collective.

NO!!!!!
They do not deserve to be the second out, especially to Phoenix.  They were my favorite in this rate.

I'm trying to figure out what exactly kept me from giving it a 10, but I'm not sure. There's nothing I dislike; it just felt right.

Oh no, I wanted this top 3.
I regret giving pretty much everything that's left a 10 now . I think Intro will win for some reason.

I didn't give it a 10 because there are moments where the silliness of the song is just too embarrassing.

I wasn't really listening to the lyrics that closely...

Another xx track. This one comes right after Infinity on the album, and in our rate.
Haha, how funny. Not really though. Do you guys think that we will lose any more xx
tracks before we finally get to the top ten?
|
I gave this a ten! I would have loved to see it in the top 10 but The xx have way too much left.
Daily Routine was a shame.  I loved the organ.
Infinity made it WAY too far. Let me catch up on the rest...

Wait, but I love this track. It goes perfectly between Intro and Crystalised, (the first two xx
songs I ever heard, which consequently got me hooked on the xx). Adios VCR! Will the
xx massacre end? Or will it continue all the way up until the top ten. Which, FYI, happens
in only one song.

Thrilled this isn't top 10!
It's one of my least favorite on the album.

I just love the clapping in this song. This was in a tie with the next song, but it had
less tens, so it just misses out on our top ten. Sadness.
And, for the record, this is how our top ten stands;
The xx 4
Dirty Projectors 2
Animal Collective 2
Phoenix 2
|
This one was really sweet.
But I'm glad things are a bit more even in the top 10 than the top 15.
