@Vaenyr - choose wisely in the last match. Let Albatross fulfill its namesake via a worthy tie game.

Floor's upcoming album will apparently be hard rock. That's a welcome change from the glittery pop of her last album.

FTFY

Nobody's Hero is a 10/10. Brilliant song. My guess is you're just uncomfortable listening to a song about a gay man. This is Rush, guys. All of these things can be true. The rap can be perfectly of its time and cheesy and dated and try-hard and out-of-place and a novelty and terrible and awesome!

2026 rating - 10/10 Another Steve classic. Epic, yet down-to-earth, and has some unexpected bluesiness to it. I adore the final verse vocal melodies and Bruce's performances. "Can't believe all the lies," etc. is just pure class. Bravo, Steve.

2026 rating - 4/10 Why this was not cut, I'll never know. The song has parts, that's for sure, but none of them are very good and certainly not made any better by forcing them together into this bloated bland meh of a tune.

2026 rating - 10/10 Not even Bruce's straining yelp that grates on my brain can keep Ghost of the Navigator, 2: Ancient Boogaloo from a 10/10!

2026 rating - 9/10 The only thing keeping this song from a perfect score are Bruce's timing issues.

2026 rating - 9/10 One of the most unique songs in the discography. What a ride! It could definitely lose about a minute of fat and the lyrics are a bit naff, but still a great tune.

2026 rating - 9/10 Let it fuckin' rip Team Janick!

2026 rating - 9/10 Sounds like a Bruce solo song, but that's alright by me. Great chorus, immensely singable, very nice guitar playing.

2026 rating - 9/10 This song has some issues, sure, but it's still very heavy and powerful. It very much feels like the spiritual successor to AMOLAD. The drum dynamics hitting on "I'm a soldier of war" might be one of my favorite moments in the discography.

2026 rating - 7/10 I really like the galloping and menace of this song, but it just never really get there if you know what I mean? The pre-chorus is so cool and then Bruce's struggling chorus just grates on my ears. The bridge is cool and earns this song a whole point.
