Henry Sardonicus' Tiering Thread 2.0

[Metalhead911]

All songs are tiered. I predict all Mars Volta songs will be devil on drums.

Well, you're probably right. But we'll see. Anyways, next two are.....

Dire Straits - Private Investigations
The Mars Volta - With Twilight As My Guide

[Henry_Sardonicus]

Metalhead, your songs are tiered. The keys for Private Investigations went way up because of the marimba, and it's interesting how right after I predict that all the Mars Volta songs would be devil on drums, you give me an acoustic song.

Anyway, before you request again, should I re-tier L'via L'viaquez, or are you fine with it?

Well, I could see that bumping things up. And I think it looks right, anyways.

It's interesting how right after I predict that all the Mars Volta songs would be devil on drums, you give me an acoustic song.

Well, maybe a better way of saying it would've been "All Mars Volta songs that have a drum part." Besides, Octechahedron is essentially TMV's acoustic album (or as close as they've come). And I wanted this pack to have at least one song from each of their 6 albums...

From De-Loused In The Comatorium (2003)

• Son et Lumière/Inertiatic ESP

From Frances The Mute (2005)

• L'Via L'Viaquez
• Cassandra Gemini (I may give this one, but you'll veto it due to it being 33 minutes long)

From Amputechture (2006)

• Viscera Eyes
• Tetragrammation

From The Bedlam In Goliath (2008)

• Goliath

From Octechahedron (2009)

• With Twilight As My Robe

From Noctourniquet (2012)

• Zed and Two Naughts

Anyway, before you request again, should I re-tier L'via L'viaquez, or are you fine with it?

You should re-tier it.



Anyways, next songs will be....

Dire Straits - Telegraph Road
The Mars Volta - Son et Lumière/Inertiatic ESP

[Mileycyrussoulja]

Kansas - "Carry On Wayward Son" (RB3 Version)

Since it's an on-disc song and uses relative tiers, it's up to you if you want to keep the original tiers or not, since you said in the OP it may not always be the case that you keep the original tiers.

[Henry_Sardonicus]

Metalhead, I'm really surprised you didn't include Televators or Drunkship of Lanterns, but you did want equal coverage. I might tier those on my own time.

[Henry_Sardonicus]

All songs are up. I'd kill for Carry On Wayward Son with full keys and harmonies.

[Tonberry115]

Revolution 9- The Beatles
Witchy Woman- Eagles

I know, right? That organ is great.

I'm a bit confused though; did you want to use the original RB2 tiers, or did you use your own? Every legacy tier is identical to the RB2 ones except drums, so I'm not sure if that was a mistake or intentional.

Revolution 9- The Beatles

I always wondered what tiers for this would be like. Certainly interesting, that's for sure. I just never had the balls to request it because I was worried if tierers were afraid of that song, like I am.

"A Million Ways" - OK Go
"Believe" - Orianthi

I was juggling between Interstatic ESP or Drunkship Of Lanterns as the De-Loused pic. Since both are awesome, I can't blame myself. Plus, I was having LHV tier the entire De-Loused album.

Also, the link for Telegraph Road is listed as Telegraph Roads, which I thought was an amusing typo. Not as amusing as "Drowning B*tch," but still a good flub. Don't mind it, though.

Anyways, next songs are....

Dire Straits - Lady Writer
The Mars Volta - Zed and Two Naughts
