[NoFred]

Lots of lopsided scores this week. One surprise was this, I figured here comes revenge was one of the better tracks on hardwired, maybe that’s not saying much?!

13.   The House That Jack Built defeats Here Comes Revenge 13-7

[MirrorMask]

Nothing Else Matters really started with the wrong foot, uh? it's easily the most acclaimed (and certainly known) of the bunch with 2 losses.

[pg1067]

Nothing Else Matters really started with the wrong foot, uh? it's easily the most acclaimed (and certainly known) of the bunch with 2 losses.

Well...it was the most widely-known (among folks who aren't really fans of Metallica) Metallica song and a very commercial song, but I'm not sure that means anything here.  The two songs to which it has lost (Bell and Damage) are classics that came from what are, among fans, typically regarded as top-3 albums.

Nothing too shocking so far...

[pg1067]

Nothing too shocking so far...

Pretty much.

Of the 27 songs that are 0-3, 25 are post-Black Album (the other two are from KEA).

Of the 26 songs that are 3-0, 22 are pre-Load.

Post-Black Album songs have an aggregate record of 59-132-4 (.313 winning percentage).

Pre-Load songs have an aggregate record of 105-32-4 (.759 winning percentage).

No song on RTL, MOP or AJFA is currently at risk of missing the playoffs.

[nobloodyname]

Might be interesting to see how many votes for and against each song there's been, too, in addition to the win/loss ratio.

The Unforgiven II is currently leading over its brothers.

Bleeding Me, Halo on Fire and Spit Out the Bone are carrying the torch for the post Black Album records at the top. Pleasantly surprised to see Damage Inc up there!

[pg1067]

Things remaining pretty much as expected.

Of the 21 songs that are 0-4, all but one are post-Black Album (the only exception being Cliff Burton's bass solo on KEA).

Of the 17 songs that are 4-0, 14 are pre-Load.

No song on RTL, MOP or AJFA is currently below the cutoff for the playoffs,** and the only pre-Load songs below the playoff line are Nothing Else Matters, Anasthesia, No Remorse, Metal Militia, Phantom Lord and Jump in the Fire.

** - Dyer's Eve (!!!) and Escape are currently in the 47-67 group, and 3 of those 21 songs would miss the playoffs if they started today.

Personal tastes speaking, and I know it depends on the pairings, I'm a bit surprised that Through the Never is holding up with the top group and that Now that We're Dead didn't find yet a win.... of the bottom songs, it's the only one that wouldn't have made me go "Why the hell are they playing this?" (instead of all the other songs with 5 defeats, I mean) at my gig of last year.

St. Anger, as an album, is predictably going as a disaster. 8 songs out of 11 have 0 victories, two have one (and I'm pretty sure Dirty Window's win came in a derby) and only the title track is soldiering on with 2 victories.

The first two Unforgiven are together, above their third brother.

And while it's kinda to be expected to see Halo on Fire and Spit out the Bone at the top, look at Dream No More holding on in the 4-1 group!

At the bottom there isn't any song *with vocals* older than Load.

I believe the consensus agrees the only truly bad songs are after the black album.

[MirrorMask]

A bit of pruning at the top, 3 songs dropped off the leading group! (and Through the Never didn't yet, weirdly).

At the bottom the list of those being left behind is starting to define itself, and I still consider Now that We're Dead unfairly being in that batch.

In the entire group of songs with only 1 victory and no victories at all, there's only one song *with vocals* older than Load.

[MirrorMask]

We've got a solid top 12, with Through the Never sticking out a bit among them.

2x4, Prince Charming and even a St Anger song managed to leave the bottom where Now that We're Dead still lies.

I know in both cases it's all a matter of matches but it's weird the string of luck (or bad luck) some song fall into.

Spit Out the Bone lost a heavy match against Battery and so Bleeding Me and Halo on Fire remain as the post-black album banner carriers on top.
