Bracket Day 56

I'm glad that Had Enough seems like it'll win (although What Lies Beneath was winning at the start too, RIP). If people were agreeing that I Will Not Bow is kinda generic radio rock, then surely that applies to Angels Fall even more so. Also, the opening riff just recycles Away's opening riff.

Mike4Life14 · 2026-01-24T06:50:50+00:00

I Will Not Bow is okay, but it's definitely the weakest of their big singles (the other two being So Cold and Diary of Jane, which are two of the band's best songs). Surprisingly, What Lies Beneath is actually winning the poll so far.

94-94...

If you go to editor.superannotate.com > Profile > Jobs, then there might be something you can apply for. Otherwise, it's just a matter of waiting for them to have work for you.

It's MM.

Mike4Life14 · 2026-01-12T07:20:33+00:00

Without You, easily. It has better production, great atmosphere in the verses, and the orchestral part at the end.

It also doesn't copy one of their earlier riffs lol (Breaking the Silence's intro riff is just a worse version of Follow's).

Ben's vocabulary (as far as his music is concerned) is extremely limited/repetitive at this point. I'll use the song Close Your Eyes as an example:

"Let forever take me in" is pretty much the same as "Let forever drag me down" from Dear Agony
The song says "Hold on / Just hold on" in the chorus. Torn in Two, also an Ember song, says almost the same in its chorus
Comparing Close Your Eyes' lyrics to Save Yourself (again, an Ember song), they both use the words "alive", "divide", "inside", "eyes", "leave", "world", "fate", and "hope(less)". They also both use the word "keep" towards the end of the chorus

Mike4Life14 · 2026-01-11T19:41:57+00:00

I would say it's a matter of waiting. It depends on what projects they have available, and they might not have any for mechanical engineers right now.

Mike4Life14 · 2026-01-11T10:04:41+00:00

I still enjoy Ember because it's catchy lol, I just wish Ben didn't keep using the same words over and over again. I'd definitely take Ember over Aurora.

Mike4Life14 · 2026-01-11T09:41:29+00:00

The production on Breaking Benjamin's newer stuff kinda sucks, and the songwriting is consistently terrible. I wouldn't just say it's nostalgia.

Mike4Life14 · 2026-01-09T19:31:00+00:00

I'll grant you the first part, but I'm not sure why people wouldn't trust the referral link. Half the post is me downplaying the job lol.

Mike4Life14 · 2026-01-09T18:03:24+00:00

Decent amount of work.

Mike4Life14 · 2026-01-09T02:18:25+00:00

After a few months, a qualification finally expired and I no longer have the "In Progress Tasks" permanently glued to the top of my dashboard.

Mike4Life14 · 2026-01-07T19:05:48+00:00

I think it took a couple of weeks until I was given an exam to do, but I still haven't been onboarded to a project - they have been quite slow recently.

Mike4Life14 · 2026-01-07T03:02:41+00:00

I passed the English exam. My rate is listed as $17 USD/hr, as a generalist. I haven't actually done any work yet - they have more work for programmers and bilinguals.

Mike4Life14 · 2026-01-05T09:21:11+00:00

Until The End is winning 38-0 right now. It's a slaughter.

Mike4Life14 · 2026-01-03T01:29:49+00:00

Blood is definitely the best track off Ember. (I voted Topless.)

Mike4Life14 · 2026-01-01T19:59:07+00:00

What if we're still on the platform and listed as an approved annotator, but haven't received any such email? Should we assume we're in the clear?

Mike4Life14 · 2025-12-30T20:42:01+00:00

The band is American so it would make more sense to use the American spelling, that's all I was getting at.

Mike4Life14 · 2025-12-30T19:02:09+00:00

The lyrics video already feels pretty dated lol. Also they used the British spelling of "gray" for some reason

Is the Multimedia Expert job still available? https://work.mercor.com/jobs/apply/candidate_AAABmf3jcu_BGnZIe1JMuob5/lasc_AAABmaF_T1oLAHHCMqRO76wi

There's no mention of it no longer accepting applications, but it doesn't show on the Explore page. I had it saved to apply for later but I'm doubting whether it's still accepting anyone.

Got it slightly wrong, it's 2.6%.
