Love the energy, love the roughness of the production. About time I gave this guy a real chance. I don't think this song makes my playlist unless the rest of this album is on the typical side, which I seriously hope it isn't. It would make it if it were more consistent. Lots of parts with little or no value musically. The first 30 seconds are the difference between an 8.9 and a 9.low
I almost submitted this song

glad to hear it. some of the middling songs feel rough to write anything for because i know i'm letting somebody down, but it's necessary

category 7 will be late tomorrow. normal start time is 8. expect 9 or 10 (pm eastern)

it's also the most universal in my music. 4 may describe more of my playlist, 2 may be more appealing to me in the past few years, but nothing has ever been as consistently striking as a song written for somebody else, especially a friend. looking forward to finishing up my portion of getting it live, and i hope you people get something out of the music

Dylan had one of the example songs for cat 4 iirc, Song to Woody. That's one of the 10 on my playlist, and definitely my favorite of his. Desolation Row is up there, too. I use that song as an alarm to wake me up in the morning sometimes

Tied in umm...dead last...

I was going to rand their placements at first, knowing I didn't care enough to pick my favorite of a group of disappointing entries, but I realized I could just give them each two points. That's what I'll be doing. Welcome to hell: a three-way tie for dead last because ????

With scores of zero, in alphabetical order,
Spoiler:
Alette with Various Artists - Sucker for Pain
Apparently this was meant to be her category 6 submission, but she flipped them and didn't care to correct it. So it goes.
Spoiler:
Manasi with Beyonce - 7/11
Okay, so the category is "A song written for a friend", not a song that reminds you of a friend. I'd say sorry, but this one's on you.
Spoiler:
Xander Biscuits with Bo Burnham - Art is Dead
Look…I don't understand it, either. I'm not asking you to explain how this got here, cause it's probably just a "whatever", but I would be interesting in knowing.

In twelfth, with a score of 4.4,
Spoiler:
JMurder3 with C-Murder - Down for My ******
Spoiler:
This is a little on the hard side for me. Magic's verse had real appeal to it. He carried the tone of the song pretty well. Snoop rhyming "mother****er" with itself a few too many times for my liking and going soft wasn't great. Overall just a subject matter that didn't work for me.

In eleventh, with a score of 5,
Spoiler:
So apparently this song is about a fictional girl who cheated on a guy. And then he killed her. First thought was 0. Second thought was that I didn't like the song anyway and there are so many 0s why did this happen to me. I could see an argument that ex-friend and dead friend are both written in the category description, but I'm here to tell you that "an imagined friend (who wasn't actually a friend, just a lover) you murdered cause she ****ed another dude" isn't doing it for me. Sorry if this used to be an enjoyable listen for somebody following along who likes When You Were Young, but this is what the song is, apparently.

Double entry~
With a score of 5.3,
Spoiler:
Zack with Chance the Rapper - Same Drugs
Spoiler:
I don't think I like Chance. What part of rapping over this track sounded like a good idea? There were parts where I thought I could have liked what he was doing, and the piano bit would be okay on its own, but they came together in a way I couldn't handle at all. I would have tried harder if you didn't do better with your other submission, but this is so hard to listen to right now and I can't figure out why.

In tenth, with a score of 5.6,
Spoiler:
gambit8888 with Ween - Booze Me Up and Get Me High
Spoiler:
I don't really see the appeal of the song. Is it circlejerky drug use? I've never coped like this. Maybe people who have hear it and it sparks memories and everything feels a little bit better because you have recourse if you ever need it again. Maybe it's somebody offering that recourse to somebody who needs it? I'm left hanging, though. Rated off musicality. Seemed dull without lyrical involvement.

In ninth, with a score of 6,
Spoiler:
Thingyman with Black Label Society - In This River
Spoiler:
All it had going for it was its emotion. That's a hard sell for me. It also failed to get personal, at all, which is kind of the opposite of what I want in a song like this. If it's your thing, sure, this song could do it.

In eighth, with a score of 6.7,
Spoiler:
Gadarene with Fight Like Apes -- Jenny Kelly
Spoiler:
The electronic bit (synth I assume) is kind of annoying me. The rest of the beat is still, if less, against my preferences. Singer is good, writing is good, beat is lacking big time.

Spoiler:
Effen with Joe Cocker - Come Together
Spoiler:
It keeps coming up that I like roughness in a song A LOT, and this one has it and only it. That's enough! If it were my style of music in the first place, that would send it over the top. As it is, it makes it enjoyable where it couldn't have been on its own.

walrein... you're socially adjusted or something... how did you do that... is everything ok

gambit's increased in enjoyment for me cuz it's the ocean man guys

didn't really like the vocals on thingy's song and they were super familiar fsr but the raw emotions were compelling once i understood where the song was going. good submission

gad my exp is when adam writes something he doesn't like about the song that's guaranteed going to be the thing i like most about the song, and that is proving true still. vocalist a bit of a grower but good songwriting. i am so sad i wasn't around for your walrus now lol

In sixth, with a score of 7.4,
Spoiler:
There are a few perfect category fits in here, by my expectations. This one is the king of them. It's a man singing a song a friend wrote about his dead son. Pretty compelling. The live performance adds to it. I can't say I enjoy the thought behind the song, but the authenticity assured by the subject and the way it's sung really do it for me. You can see him having trouble keeping himself together around 3:09, before the focus obligingly shifts to the musicians surrounding him. After a while, I came to really appreciate the guy's voice and the backing. One of those songs that had to grow on me.
