"Silent Shout"!?

That would be a tradegy, wouldn't it? But you only gave it a 6.

[minho]

Something by Robyn perhaps?

25. "Be Mine!"



Average: 7.8538
High: 10 (4x) - Drowned_World, lovesong, Eric., Ace Reject
Low: 3 (1x) - Konichiwa

Synopsis
Robyn returns to the rate after last being seen at number 39 with "Who's That Girl". Serving as the fourth single from Robyn fourth and self-titled album in most European territories, "Be Mine!" is one of her earlier singles participating in our rate. In the song, Robyn is quick to tell a potential lover that it'll never work out. It features the use of violins and it sounds much like an orchestra going on in the background. It charted all across Europe, most notably reaching number 3 in Sweden and number 10 in the UK.

Standout Line
"It's a good thing tears never show in the pouring rain / As if a good thing ever could make up for all the pain"

[madonnas]

Um, she has plenty more worse songs in here than Be Mine!

[Stevie]

How did this make it past so many great songs?

It's a 7 at best.

[minho]

Ok, I did want a Robyn song... but not one of my 10s

Yes. I was really harsh with The Knife, Silent Shout is a solid 9, it grew so much on me.

[WoozyFloozy]

Definitely a 7, but Who's That Girl should have left before it.

[Ewan Chaos]

I feel like this + Who's That Girl should have done better for Robyn songs and some of her other songs should be lower. Oh well as long as we get some Robyn stuff out.

[WoozyFloozy]

Wait did Who's That Girl already leave? I didn't see it on the list on the first page.

[Stevie]

And... we're back to the foolishness.

24. "Idle Talk"



Average: 7.8731
High: 10 (4x) - HausOfJabril, MP2K, zombaland, ManDown
Low: 3 (1x) - jqnetto

Synopsis
The sixth track from kin, "Idle Talk", is now iamamiwhoami's fifth song to exit the rate. In "Idle Talk", Jonna begins to feel emptiness and a longing for a lost love. The track is very light, smooth, and overall pleasant to listen to. iam has four songs left: "Play", "Goods", "Sever", and "Kill". Many of their eliminated tracks, except maybe "Good Worker", have all ended up near each other in the countdown.

Standout Line
"Where are you, my parted sun? The last I saw of you was sinking / Into a giant hole of nothingness, as my desire started shrinking"

[madonnas]

She's getting demolished

[minho]

I really liked this one. I didn't give it a 10 though because I felt something was missing.

Sad to see it go

[Stevie]

This leaving is just dumb. I'd place it third among the kin tracks, only behind "Goods" and "Play". A solid 9.

[WoozyFloozy]

Ugh, should have given this a 10. It grew on me immensely.

Yes, number 39. Sorry I haven't updated the list on the first page.

Well all of their tracks except "Good Worker" made the top 30, what did you expect? They're not doing too bad if you ask me.
It just seems like people thought the kin tracks were on the same level.

[Ewan Chaos]

Hmm. Well this was one of my 7s, but it grew on me so I'm disappointed.

[Eric.]

That was not the Robyn song that had to leave now. WTF Konichiwa?

These two songs posses a palpable sadness masked with euphoric productions, but "Idle Talk" has it less heavy while "Be Mine!" was the beginning of Robyn effortlessly transmitting that deep melancholy her best records are known for.

[Drowned_World]

Oh no, those two are amazing.
