Since it seems like Grizzly is going to be dragged judging by the comments, what do you guys think is their best/last song standing?

[Owl]

I can't deny that all of them are good.

Dirty Projecters - 7.67
Pheonix - 7.7
Animal Collective - 7.81
Grizzly Bear - 8.08
The xx- 8.27

[alkralkra]

sent my vote in. took more than I thought and I'm off to bed, it's four thirty am here

[Eric.]

What an exhausting, yet pleasant, rate. The results will be rather entertaining. I hope Animal Collective dominates.

I think "I Live With You" and "Southern Point" stand a chance.

[sticks]

Wow! We have 17 rates in. If you can get it in in the next half hour I guess I'll still accept it!

There may or may not be an update tonight, I am seeing Batman at midnight, so I'll be up for a while, but I have a lot of other things to do as well!

My favorite was "While You Wait for the Others."

[Stevie]

Ugh, stupid errands. Please let me submit. I just need to do Animal Collective.

[sticks]

Ok. First update will not be sometime in the 8 'o clock hour, hopefully.

[Stevie]

Sent. I gave out 10 tens. Here were my averages:

Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix - 8.85
xx - 8.82
Bitte Orca - 8.72
Merriweather Post Pavilion - 8.18
Veckatimest - 7.46

The top three were so close, they're pretty much equal. I enjoyed all five albums though.

#53 Dory

Average: 5.98
Highest Score: 9 (Owl)
Lowest Score: 0 (Great Username)

This song is the first Grizzly Bear song to be out, and the first song to be out at all.

"At the moment my favourite track off the album, it was something dan and
I came up with together back and forth upstate new york. <3 Dory. Feel like it might
be "misunderstood".
P.S. it's not about finding nemo!" – Edward Droste, May 29, 2009

Twas definitely misunderstood. But I think I like it a bit more after reading the lyrics.
A dory, for those of you who don’t know is a smallish row boat that one might use to
get to a larger boat.

[jqnetto]

I hate this song. Nice beginning.

[RatedG²]

Smh...it doesn't deserve to be the first out

#52 Hold Still

Average: 6.07
Highest Score: 9 (RatedG2, Gui Blackout, supaspaz)
Lowest Score: 2 (Great Username)

Another Grizzly Bear song! I don’t anyone should really be surprised about this though.

"Recorded on Cape Cod, capturing the echo and reverb of the piano strings (we sung
into it). To me it serves as a perfect breather, plus I love the guitar tone." – Edward Droste

I agree that this is a breather track, but weren’t the previous five all breathers as well.
Personally, I found the middle part of Veckatimest rather dull. Not bad, but dull. Also, this
is the first song with an average above 6. Our first song missed out by five hundredths.

[madonnas]

GREAT graphics

And these both were 7s for me, so I liked them but didn't love them.

[Giliap]

I gave Dory a 4. One of the two lowest scores of anybody in the rate. The other 4 was also to Grizzly Bear. It's just simply not an easy song to listen to.

Good start to this rate.

EDIT: Just saw #52.

Hold Still was my other 4! So far, it looks like this rate is going to go my way.

and nice graphics btw.

[Eric.]

Hold Still was so pointless. Definitely my least favorite track on this rate.

#51 About Face

Average: 6.32
Highest Score: 9 (Ace Reject)
Lowest Score: 0 (Great Username)

This song is the third Grizzly Bear song to be out. And as I was unable to find much
interesting information on it, let’s take a few seconds to learn about Veckatimest.
The album was released on May 26th, 2009. The name comes from the island to the
southwest of Cape Cod (in Massachusetts). The album was rated as the 26th album
of 2009 by Rolling Stone, 8th by Rhapsody, 6th by Pitchfork, and 4th by Spin Magazine.
Pitchfork also listed the album as the 42nd best of the decade. The album debuted at
the top of the Billboard 200, with an opening week of 33,000.

[madonnas]

Oh that didn't deserve to go out now. It was a solid 8.5.


Where is that one xx track that was like a 1:30 interlude? That should be out.

[jqnetto]

I'm loving all this hate for Veckatimest.
But I hope "Two Weeks" will appear in the top 10.

Intro?
It's the second best song of the album.
