• Onyx (Alcest) ^note  The heavy layers of distortion on the guitars keep this from being a 1 or 2.
• Welcome to My Nightmare (Alice Cooper) ^note  Strangely enough, the version performed on The Muppet Show pushes this rating a bit further by accentuating the groove and removing the Romantic-inspired bridge.
• Rotten Apple ^note  The wailing lead throughout the song keeps it from being a 1 or a 2. and Your Decision (Alice in Chains)
• FUEGO (Alok & Bhaskar)
• The Fear (Lily Allen)
• Snow Patrol, Part 1 (Alpinestars) ^note Part 2 is a soft 2.

• Dolphin Tune (Aquarius)

• Like a Stone (Audioslave)
• bladelores, Nil and Tewe ^note  Would be a 2 if it weren't for the somewhat frantic pace and the constant chattering in the background. (Autechre)

The lyrics are a solid 7-8. It's probably best here, but it's likely one of the saddest songs in this category - this is what happens when you have a metal-leaning gothic vocalist with a love for Protest Song being backed by his generally light proto-Oshare pop band. It is probably also the only 3 with two uses of the Metal Scream.

• Artikulation (Ligeti)
• Burn It Down and Jornada del Muerto (Linkin Park) ^note  Both are pretty hard 3s, especially the latter which starts at a 1 but segues to 5.
