| 1 | The Warning | "MARTIRIO" | MARTIRIO +2 | I like singing more than I like the absence of singing, |
| 2 | Madame Mayhem | "I Am More" | single | and I probably don't literally prefer that it be done in languages I can't easily follow, |
| 3 | RedHook | "Sentimental Surgery" | single | but I never hear a song that isn't in English and think "I wish this were in English". |
| 4 | Memoremains | "Sympathy" | single | Whereas with songs in English, which is the only language where I can often tell what singers are saying, |
| 5 | Aryem | "Forbidden Love" | Forbidden Love +2 | I often think "I wish this had better lyrics". |
| 6 | Dream Ocean | "Dark Miracles" | The Missing Stone | I do sometimes look up translations of songs in other languages, |
| 7 | Sertraline | "Vivid" | single | and am sometimes disappointed, |
| 8 | Machinae Supremacy | "Pendulum" | single | but I just shrug and forget, |
| 9 | NEO JAPONISM | "Buster Buster" | single | and go back to singing along phonetically and affirmationally. |
| 10 | *Luna | "アナクロニズム" | single | Singing is not a rhetorical |
| 11 | 名古屋CLEAR'S | "ノイズオーケストラ" | ノイズオーケストラ +1 | or explicational form, |
| 12 | ASP | "the MAN CALLiNG" | the MAN CALLiNG +1 | but a medium for demonstrating the implications of feelings for air. |
| 13 | tricot | "Dogs and Ducks" | single | We feel good things for a chaos of good and bad reasons, |
| 14 | Mashiro Ayano | "Reason Flies" | white chronicles | and our songs extract both the feelings and the chaos |
| 15 | LOCAL CONNECT | "DayLight Blue" | DayLight Blue +1 | from the endless mundane |
| 16 | PornoGraffitti | "REUNION" | テーマソング 3 | and take us back to the moment when they were thrilling, |
| 17 | Dream Theater | "Invisible Monster" | single | or construct this moment |
| 18 | Rivers of Nihil | "Maybe One Day" | The Work | and set it free. |
| 19 | Teramaze | "And the Beauty They Perceive" | single | We can learn to speak the truth, |
| 20 | ShadowStrike | "Fables and Folklore" | Fables & Folklore | but we can choose to lie. |
| 21 | Volbeat | "Shotgun Blues" | Shotgun Blues +2 | Songs pass serenely through both our abilities and our weaknesses, |
| 22 | World Without | "Divided" | Light 4 | and suggest that so could we. |
| 23 | As the Sun Falls | "Last Days of Light" | Last Days of Light | The underrated corrolary to humanism's acceptance of others, |
| 24 | Cosmophobe | "Delusions of Grandeur" | The Tragedy of Being | and the reason I prefer not to imagine transcendence as an ascetic reduction, |
| 25 | Omnium Gatherum | "Reckoning" | single | is that your past and potential selves are also equal. |
| 26 | Swallow The Sun | "Woven into Sorrow" | Woven into Sorrow +1 | We are creatures of potential, |
| 27 | Surturs Lohe | "Mimes Reigen" | Wielandstahl | not in the way that arctic wolves are creatures of the snow, |
| 28 | Succumb | "Maenad" | XXI | but in the way that angels are creatures of vengeance, |
| 29 | Skepticism | "Passage" | Companion | visible only in transit between motivation and dispensation. |
| 30 | Doedsvangr | "Black Dragon Phoenix" | single | You can end a song; |
| 31 | LLNN | "Imperial" | Unmaker | it can just start again. |
| 32 | Ereb Altor | "Vargtimman" | single | There is no destructive version of hearing. |
| 33 | Guadaña | "Guerreros de la Tempestad" | single | If you want to avoid hearing your enemy, you have to learn to sing their song |
| 34 | Heldom | "Hávamál" | Vaknan | exactly as well, and phase-inverted. |
| 35 | forfedre | "Raiding Season" | single | Violence is peace plus control, |
| 36 | BACK-ON | "SKY WALKER" | single | and thus all conflict is self-sustaining and needless. |
| 37 | CVLTE | "kuromi. (feat. 4s4ki, sacha online)" | kuromi. (feat. 4s4ki, sacha online) +1 | There is actual darkness, but nowhere you have time to reach, |
| 38 | Chippoke Ohashi | "23" | single | and likewise ancient evil, |
| 39 | Clarence Clarity | "SU฿LORD" | VANISHING ACT I: NO NOUNS 5 | but at no age or divinity you will attain. |
| 40 | Big Zuu | "Navigate" | single | I don't want to tell you my mood |
| 41 | Filthy Gears | "Take It Away, Vol. 2" | Take It Away 4 | by fixing its position. |
| 42 | Wstdyth | "Vampire World" | single | Every list we make is an enumeration of what we didn't know yet, |
| 43 | Siouxxie | "darkwave sabbat" | witchpop | myopia overrun by complacency, |
| 44 | James Colt | "River Shore" | single | abusively titled: |
| 45 | Leo IV | "give me time" | single | We Will Not Be Swallowed by the Void, |
| 46 | Smrtdeath | "Everything's Fucked" | single | but we are native to its entrails; |
| 47 | biteki | "let me rest" | single | We Are Chosen, |
| 48 | juno | "nauseous" | single | but we are all chosen and discarded; |
| 49 | Hyd | "Skin 2 Skin" | Skin 2 Skin +1 | We Know Your Secrets, |
| 50 | Ca$hrina | "never replace me" | single | but only because we have shared them all along. |
| 51 | Ayşe Betül | "Aptal" | single | The courage to invent a new language |
| 52 | NINA | "Gold Heart" | single | is also a procrastination tactic. |
| 53 | Natalie Imbruglia | "Nothing Missing" | Firebird | We had ways to say all of that already, |
| 54 | Marion Ravn | "Hold meg i hånda" | single | and too much impatient certainty that it mattered, |
| 55 | Zupermaria | "Fruen fra havet" | single | and too much fear of saying things we had said before. |
| 56 | Miss Li | "Tidsmaskin" | Underbart i all misär | And thus these songs we can't follow |
| 57 | Lightning Bug | "WingsofDesire" | AColoroftheSky 2 | can be all of those things, |
| 58 | Weakened Friends | "Quitter" | single | and the joy of realizing that you don't have to be different to matter, |
| 59 | Bartees Strange | "Weights" | single | don't have to be cured of yourself. |
| 60 | JAGUWAR | "Battles" | Battles +1 | All battles are lost. |
| 61 | Soft Kill | "Cicero" | Cicero +2 | Qualities and quantities are different measurements of the same notes. |
| 62 | Fire-Toolz | "Thick_flowy_glowy_sparkly_stingy_pain.mpeg" | single | I don't want to name my mood, as if delusions are singular, |
| 63 | COLLAPSE | "GARDEN" | single | any more than I want to cultivate by diffidence. |
| 64 | Poppy | "Lessen The Damage" | Flux | All physical and emotional efforts are forms of pain and dance: |
| 65 | Carla Lourdes | "Plan de Altar" | single | altars and stages, interchangeable or anyway convertible. |
| 66 | Biffy Clyro | "A Hunger In Your Haunt" | A Hunger In Your Haunt +1 | You can collect them, but only by finding them on the ground, |
| 67 | The Connells | "Fading In (Hardy)" | Steadman's Wake | quickly, before anybody notices the loss. |
| 68 | Clemency | "Brave" | single | Giving them back is a merely ceremonial mercy, |
| 69 | Kondi Band | "The Sweetness Is Gone" | We Famous | and thus should be done in reverent costume. |
| 70 | Benny Mayengani | "Mahinyahinya" | Tiko Raka Hina (Page 11) | But that's what clothes are. |
| 71 | Amon Tobin | "How Do You Live" | How Do You Live | You choose, when you temporarily give up nakedness, some ritual for which you are notionally or aspirationally prepared. |
| 72 | Lyra Pramuk | "Offering" | Delta | You choose this when you sing, too, and when you listen, |
| 73 | Colin Stetson | "Never Letting Go" | single | and when you keep vibrating, and when you stop: |
| 74 | First to Eleven | "Joker And The Thief" | single | not in the way that the wolves choose rabbits, |
| 75 | Soulspell | "Into the Unknown" | single | but in the way that cartoon wolves fall in love with cartoon rabbits, |
| 76 | Anneke Van Giersbergen | "Endless Road" | Beste Zangers 2021 (Anneke Van Giersbergen) 4 | and all of us are flat pictures of ourselves |
| 77 | Zak Vortex | "Go Your Own Way" | single | in the backgrounds of other people's discomposed self-portraits. |
| 78 | Alex Goot | "When You Were Young" | single | There are songs we can't not understand, but they end and we can re-sing them, |
| 79 | Halocene | "Smells Like Teen Spirit" | single | as many times as it takes to make them mean that we are not complete or sure of our doom. |
