43. "Animal"



Average: 7.4827
High: 10 (4x) - MP2K, electroheart, zombaland, ManDown
Low: 4 (4x) - jqnetto, castle13, lovesong, ClassicMainstream

Synopsis
Miike Snow's debut single was "Animal" and it appeared on their first, self-titled album. The song is light and catchy. It doesn't have the overall lyrical heaviness of some of their later singles that bring up topics such as corruption. "Animal" managed to chart in the UK, peaking at number 98.

Standout Line
"I change shapes just to hide in this place / But I'm still, I'm still an animal"

[Stevie]

Miike Snow now joins Fever Ray and Agnes in the "three songs or less" club.

"Animal" is pretty basic, there's not much to it. Just a catchy tune. It should have been out a while ago.

The next one is another disappointing position...

[Ewan Chaos]

Gave that one an 8! Thought it was one of his better songs. Ah well.

[madonnas]

Omg They're getting dragged.

[bleuwaffle]

One of my favorite Miike Snow tracks

[MP2K]

Nu-uh
Outrage!

[jqnetto]

iam still with all songs in?

[ManDown]

"Animal" is amazing! I thought that I gave it a 10?

Though, I will admit that I only like "Animal" for its lyrics. Sky Ferreira's version is a trillion times better.

Sorry, I must have missed it. I changed it!

True Queen.

[Ace Reject]

Really shocked by WSOMH being out, but love the way you're doing this Stevie!

[Drowned_World]

I can't believe this one, "Paddling Out" and "Silvia" are all out already.
At least "Black & Blue" is still in!

42. "Like A Pen"



Average: 7.504
High: 10 (3x) - bleuwaffle, madonnas, Eric.
Low: 2 (2x) - castle13, electroheart

Synopsis
The third single from Silent Shout, "Like A Pen", uses very cold and mechanic machine-like synths under Karin's voice. The song managed to chart in the UK, peaking at number 96. This is The Knife's sixth song eliminated, leaving them with six left.

Standout Line
"I hold my breath and then count to three, on and on outworn / Must be five hundred degrees, will it show, in my show"

[Stevie]

No idea what this one means, but it's still too low. I gave it a 9.

[madonnas]

****!!!!!


WHAT THE ****!!!!!!!!!!!!


Another top 5 material song just gone. I had no idea the silent shout era the knife would be received so poorly on this rate.

I love how when we started, everyone was like "good eliminations", "meh", or "this is fine". Now the eliminations are getting more and more ridiculous.

There's been a bit of Miike, Fever, and Knife dragging lately. Interesting how Robyn, Lykke, Agnes, and iam are flying under the radar.

How on earth are some of these Robyn tracks still in? Like she's good but Handle Me should definitely be out... considering two 10s just went out.

And Agnes should be completely gone....

I don't know. I'd be fine with Handle Me, Be Mine!, Cobrastyle, With Every Heartbeat, Dancehall Queen, and Indestructible leaving right about now. So that's half of her remaining songs left.

Little ol' Agnes was getting punched and now she's hanging on with two songs. Fever Ray and Miike Snow both have three songs each, so they're also on the edge. Things are about to get interesting.

[Ewan Chaos]

LOL way too low. I gave it a 9. How disappointing!

[bleuwaffle]

How can people like ****ing Agnes better than The Knife/Fever Ray?!
