i would actually argue that mgmt is not trite, despite being slightly popular.

i thikn i got hammered for the other 2 categories of rating since you didn't like the artist

In 2nd place:
Spoiler:
I really like the tempo and rhythm of this song, and how it just starts of cold at it's full sound. I don't even know if the lyrics make sense or what the hell they are about, but that doesn't even matter; the vocals fit really nicely. Good stuff
Rating: 9

I think this could be a late 60's/early 70's song (released in 2013).
Fit: 1

Definitely not trite. I think it gets a slight bonus here from the numbers on spotify and last.fm
Triteness: 0.95

Spoiler:
legend42 submits King Khan & the Shrines - Luckiest Man
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znL4...ature=youtu.be

Round Score: 9.474


In 26th place:
Spoiler:
So, I think this band is pretty decent, but this song doesn't do a ton for me. I mean I don't hate it or anything, but it's nothing special either.
Rating: 6

You said this could easily be a 60's song, but I disagree. I think there are parts that could be from the 60's, but by and large this has a pretty modern feel to it.
Fit: 0.25

So Weezer is an extremely popular band, especially 'round these parts where rank the songs on the blue album discussions break out in the middle of walrus reveals.
Triteness: 2

Spoiler:
mexineil submits Weezer - Dreamin'
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4FaSx5ZSwE

Round Score: 0.75


Alrighty, the reveal has been going on 2 hours. This takes more time than I had anticipated. Also, it doesn't feel like it is taking as much time as it actually is.

Not true.
http://www.last.fm/music/MGMT?ac=mgmt
and spotify numbers are what got it up there.

A song I liked less than yours got a .8 for trite.

I wouldn't sweat it though because:
1. lowest score gets dropped and
2. so what if I have different taste, at least for this song, than you?

Nick such a bitchy bitch bitch. Disappointed in this round, but not much you can do if someone plain doesn't like the song.

In 1st place:
Spoiler:
This is well done. Very unique arrangement and sound. Not boring for reasons other than it being exotic.
Rating: 8

Yeah, I couldn't put a date on this. Even if I was just going by the music and vocals it would be hard to label this as modern. (released in 2014)
Fit: 1

This is the exact opposite of trite.
Triteness: 0.8

Spoiler:
tchaz submits Alsarah & The Nubatones - ونوبة نوتو
Nuba Noutou

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6Mi6LpVg40

Round Score: 10


In 27th place:
Spoiler:
Yeah, this is a pretty good song, and very typical of this band. Not going to go into details much because….
Rating: 8

I really don't see this song being released prior to the mid 90s, and it was realeased in 2001, which is earlier than 2008. Did you get your categories mixed up?
Fit: 0

The [redacted] are a pretty popular band, and this is one of their more popular songs.
Triteness: 2

Spoiler:
Jabonator submits The Strokes - Someday
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFnjZY1vRzk

Round Score: 0


And that's a wrap for round 1. Guess I gotta get a round summary up....

There will be a lot of sort by tempo rankings itt, if you got more of those you're in trouble.

Wait wat, tchaz's entry has production you simply wouldn't have heard even ten years ago and if my ears don't deceive me, it sucks horse.

The exception, rule, something something. It didn't have a top 3 song score anyway.

Wait I swear fnord said specifically he liked slow tracks in the OP.

It's ok as long as in your write-up you state that you will disregard the category and submit a 6M view modern style Kimbra song that is not trite instead.

#1 seems pretty modern to me. the song is kind of interesting, nothing id personally go nuts over but i like it.

04-25-2014 , 02:24 AM
Oh wait no.it said he likes slower songs less.

Welp that's what I get for only skimming the OP. This could be rather mediocre.
