A few of these submissions felt like NotBruceZ troll entries. I wouldn’t say there were any massive home runs like @CanadaMatt3004’s French thing he submitted to me last time. But there is some good stuff here. On to the rankings!

Collective Soul - Heavy

Uhh…Just because the song is called “Heavy” doesn’t mean that it’s “fucking loud”. Sure, it’s loud for the group that did “The World I Know” and “December”, but I’m not grading on a curve with respect to the band here. This is not a bad song, but this is not what I was looking for at all with this category.

Poe - Choking the Cherry

LOL this is a band and not the singer who sang “Angry Johnny” and “Hey Pretty”, right? RIGHT? OMG it’s the same person. I wouldn’t even call this “loud” much less “fucking loud”. It sucks to nodium this because I actually like it, but massive category fail.

Number One Cup - Ease Back Down

The last (and best) of what I’d consider significant category fails. I like this song, but fucking loud it is not. It’s straight up alt-rock, which I like, but it’s not for here.

Yeah, that’s me. I hadn’t a clue what to submit, I should have just sent you something very loud that you’d have hated.

I will admit being a stickler for category fit.

I was more hoping for something very loud that I would have liked. :sunglasses:

Klaxons - Atlantis To Interzone

This is in the realm of “loud but not fucking loud”. The only super loud parts are the electronic whatever those noises are, and honestly I could have done with less of that. Otherwise, like the 10th place finisher, it’s a pretty catchy rock song that I would normally rank very highly if not for the category.

Well, yeah, but that was exactly what I couldn’t think of.

Primal Scream - Accelerator

I had to switch out the video that was sent because it wasn’t available in my country. I only knew of Primal Scream from “Rocks”; I think that’s all they are known for in the US. Anyhoo, this is significantly louder than that song. There is a lot of extra noise in this song that contributes to the loud, but I’m not sure helps me like it more.

Brockhampton - Boogie

This was the hardest to rank. It’s fun as shit, and I like it a lot. But is it really “fucking loud”? I can kinda see it, but I have to try REALLY hard. I can’t in good faith rank this too high, but points for thinking outside the box and submitting something great.

Judas Priest - Painkiller

I’ve never really listened to much Judas Priest. This song sounds vaguely familiar. It’s loud enough. When I saw the over 6 minute length, I was worried that it was going to wear out its welcome. It surprisingly didn’t, although the final minute is a bit silly.

That’s what I almost did. I had a hard time thinking of something that fits “loud all the time” but does not have growls.

This reveal beautifully timed to upset any resident royalists who live in my vicinity

Anti-Nowhere League - So What?

This is a fun gritty punk song. I’m not sure I’ve ever heard the original before, just the Metallica cover. It’s loud enough, but also catchy enough to chant along in a bar. Solid pick.

Shinedown - Enemies

Aside from “Devour”, this is my favorite Shinedown song. It’s certainly loud enough. Takes a bit of a familiarity penalty, both from it being a pretty big hit and also being the theme for Monday Night Raw for a few years, so it stays just off the podium.
