I think I left out "together" in the Several Species title. Sue me.

I think SSoSFAGTiaCaGWaP deserves to go on. The title wins points, and The Narrow Way really isn't all that great.

 

[Axver]

Whichever wins will be first eliminated from the finals anyway, and frankly, Several Species is just so out-there and its title so good that I voted to eliminate The Narrow Way.

 

[LemonMelon]

Several Species. I really don't get what the big deal is outside of the title. At least Narrow Way is listenable, if occasionally dull.

 

[phanan]

Species for the win.

 

[DaveC]

SSoSFAGTiaCaGWaP

This alone puts it over the top, I think.

 

[cdisantis83]

The fact that Species ought to win this speaks volumes to the overall lack of quality on this album.

[DaveC]

I realized how disappointing these tunes really are because of this game.

live side

 

[Axver]

But you've got to admit, Species is highly original and unique. The other songs can't really say that.

Plus, it's really avantgarde.

 

[Zoots]

I love Narrow Way esp. part 2 and 3 but I still had to give it to Several Species! It's so nuts!

 

[LemonMelon]

The real question is, how long will Species last in the final draw?

 

[DaveC]

But you've got to admit, Species is highly original and unique. The other songs can't really say that.

Plus, it's really avantgarde.

Isn't it?

 

[Axver]

Isn't it?

I'm glad someone got that.

 

[liamcool]

The Narrow Way should win, but it won't.

 

[DaveC]

I'm glad someone got that.

I was trying to figure out a way to work that into the next post before you mentioned it, actually.

ETA: 1 hour and 15 minutes left if you really think you can sway the vote

Are we sure we really want to take a whole day to vote off Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast? Let's just enact the mercy rule and skip to Round 2.

 

[Axver]

I certainly wouldn't object to invoking the mercy rule, though I am curious as to how badly it will get thumped.

And someone (cdisantis?) did say they'd vote for If, not Breakfast.

 

[DaveC]

Right. The game is COBL's, and I wouldn't want to start changing the rules if he has no idea. And you're right, now I'm curious to see how many votes it gets.

 

[Axver]

I'm predicting 15 for Breakfast, 1 for If, and 1 for the title track.

See, this is how we can make the round not too boring: try to guess how huge the thumping will be!
