War.

 

[Axver]

Well, now I'm not sure. I like both October and War, and although I favour October, War might actually have a realistic chance of being eliminated here. I'd rather both of them be eliminated before any of the other three go, that's for sure.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

october.

 

[coolian2]

october.

while war has better standout tracks, october is more consistent.

 

[phillyfan26]

War.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

mercy kill for october ftw

 

[phillyfan26]

I predict War and October splitting votes, leading to an ATYCLB victory (which would be terribly sad). Then, War and October will both fall, leading to a final between RAH and HTDAAB.

Unfortunately, this is what I expect too.

However, I think that once War is out of the picture, HTDAAB will go and it'll be an October vs RAH final, in which case October will end up the predictable loser. It'd be a shame if that happens, since for much of the tournament, it has shown potential to not come last for a change.

Whatever the case, what a difference from last time, when HTDAAB came third.

[Zoots]

I'm making a U-turn at the traffic light and going with Rattle And Hum.

Van Dieman's Land
Desire
Hawkmoon 269
Silver And Gold
Pride (yes I have always liked this live version)
Angel Of Harlem
Love Rescue Me
Heartland
God Pt II
All I Want Is You

Fuck yes! Now I'm even more convinced after listing out my favorites like that.

 

[MMP]

RATTLE AND HUM BABY!

as always since TJT

 

[Reggo]

I gotta go with October.

 

[Scorpionac]

I have never heard October or War...don't even own R&H.
ATYCLB still.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

I have never heard October or War...don't even own R&H.
ATYCLB still.

why vote then?

 

[coolian2]

I have never heard October or War...don't even own R&H.
ATYCLB still.

listen to them. they'll ruin atyclb for you.

 

[Zoots]

I have never heard October or War...don't even own R&H.
ATYCLB still.

OMG! You have never listened to even War??? War pwns ATYCLB seven ways to sunday.

 

[Varitek]

I am torn between War, October, and R+H. What Ian said about standouts vs. consistency is in October's favor, but god I love some of the songs on the other two. Withholding vote for now (and will probably forget to come vote later, lol)

 

[LemonMelon]

How can someone choose October this early? I don't get it at all. It's a fucking demo tape.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

boy > october > war

imo anyway

You're a colossal assclown.

 

[coolian2]

this is the correct answer.

[Axver]

why vote then?

Exactly. If you don't know all the albums, it's a bit ridiculous just to vote for one because you know it, as you have no way to know if it is indeed superior to those you haven't heard. This tournament isn't "vote for what you know". Nobody's making anyone vote. If you don't know the albums, just go to the next thread.

boy > october > war

imo anyway

Seconded.

And I'm not even sure War wins on standout tracks. October has Gloria, Rejoice, and Tomorrow, which can all easily hold their own against War's best.

 

[Zoots]

boy > october > war

... > uf > jt > rah > ab > zoo > poop > atyclb > htdaab ?

 

[martha]

October

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

... > uf > jt > rah > ab > zoo > poop > atyclb > htdaab ?

lol, it looks that way, but ewww i'd never say atyclb is better than anything else!

it's like you don't even know me zoots

 

[Zoots]

And I'm not even sure War wins on standout tracks. October has Gloria, Rejoice, and Tomorrow, which can all easily hold their own against War's best.

Lest we forget, War has Sunday Bloody Sunday, Seconds, NYD, Like A Song, Drowning Man, Surrender... all standouts!

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

tbh out of those i only like seconds, nyd, drowning man, and surrender. still nearly half the album but i prefer october more.
