The Good Soldier

This is the toughest election of all, while this is not the Fragile or TDS this is by far the most rounded cd I have ever heard Trent make. Every song is very good. This is the only album where I love every song.

the good soldier.

Another Version of the Truth

Survivalism. It's the only NIN song I actively dislike.

Hyperpower!

Hyperpower

The Great Destroyer. It's the worst song on the record.

Zero-Sum is gonna win this; however, my favourite song is Meet Your Master.

Another Version of the Truth. Probably my least favorite NIN song, as it's pointless and meanders around, never really coming to a climax

It's only my job b/c I made it my job heh. Sometimes other people update and it's no big deal. This will be an interesting election tho

B/c Hyperpower! is very short and not much actually happens.A slightly driving beat and then a bunch fo noise in a crescendo. It's not that I don't like it, but I do think it is the least worthy of staying

But isn't that the point? To me, AVOTT is the aftermath of whatever disaster struck in the great destroyer and works perfectly as such

Sorry, must have missed it, i fixed it though.

The beginning of the end.

Hyperpower! It's just an intro.

Okay why is it everyone hates the instrumentals? They're sometimes the best tracks. AVOTT is one of the best tracks on the album I think. Purely because of the way it changes on that one point, it gives new meaning to the song!

So how are we going to do the Ghosts election. To be fair, it's not one of my fave albums and i would be hard-pressed to pair the song titles with the tracks by memory. You think maybe we could do the top 3 from each volume, and then take those 12 and do a top 3 from them? Would make it easier to sift through all the tracks maybe.

Many albums have intros, I think it adds to the feeling that they're not just a collection of songs, but a group, a relationship of songs that all have some sort of relation, either by similar sounds or lyrics, or in this case, a concept. But if that's your least favourite song anyway I guess it doesn't matter.

I like WorzelG's reason for liking AVOTT; it's position in the album amplifies the atmosphere it makes, the dead silence after the storm.

About Ghosts: If we have an mini-election for each volume I guess there'd be less bias-voting, although I doubt there'll be a stand-out favourite; it's not really what I'd call an album, with no names, no lyrics. I guess it's more like a piece of art, not that albums aren't already, but Ghosts is more like contemporary art, less 'paint this person perfectly' or 'build this perfectly', more abstract and surreal.

Re:Ghosts. Really we could do Ghosts dead last for all I care. I enjoy the album, but I don't relish going thru 36 tracks heh. The way we should do it is:

Round 1: 3 favorite songs off each volume, leaves 12 songs.
Round 2: Proceed as normal or do 2 more batches of 3 songs, then the remaining songs one by one. 24 of the 36 songs are under 3 minutes, it's kind of atmospheric punk rock that way.

I think going YZ, Slip, Non-Album, Ghosts is a good order for the remaining, but if we want to maintain the chronological order we've been doing that's fine. Ghosts is a neat album, but not something I really get to listen to at work, too quiet heh.

EDIT: If we do the standard vote a song off one at a time, can I request we go ahead and start the thread for Ghosts now so it's running concurrent with the other voting. We will be done w/YZ, The Slip and the Non-Album by the time Ghosts is done. The mini-vote to pare things down sounds better tho.

I agree that Ghosts should be last.

It was the sane for TDS and The Fragile. I've just accepted it now. I love AVOTT, it's in my YZ top 5. But I guess people just don't understand it, so they say things like it's "meangingless" or "not needed".

I love me some Hyperpower.
