Mexican War Streets wins the Pale Horses bracket in a relatively close one over Rainbow Signs! Final Totals: Mexican War Streets - 13 Rainbow Signs - 9 ---------------- Pale Horses: Appendix is coming up next.
Pale Horses: Appendix - Round One: 1) Fairfield vs. Hebrew Children 2) Blue Hen (Geology Version) vs. Werewolf King (Demo) 3) Red Cow (Golden Calf Version) vs. Chapelcross Towns 4) Chernobyl, 1985 vs. Mexican War Streets Revisited -------------------- Pale Horses: Appendix - Round Two: 1) Match 1 Winner vs. Match 2 Winner 2) Match 3 Winner vs. Match 4 Winner Round One begins now! I know this is kind of a weird bracket...like I mentioned earlier, I considered including these songs in the Pale Horses bracket but that was getting a little too large. I typically don't include different versions of songs previously covered in the bracket, but I thought these were different enough to merit including. In any case...after this bracket we'll be on to their 2018 releases.
1) Hebrew Children 2) Blue Hen (Geology Version) 3) Chapelcross Towns 4) Mexican War Streets Revisited
Yes, this is odd, but fun to revisit! It'll be interesting to see what people go with. I don't have strong opinions about the release - it's a nice little bonus. I listened to it last in my discography run through before [Untitled]. Hebrew Children Blue Hen (Geology Version) Chapelcross Towns Chernobyl, 1985
Current Totals: Fairfield - 0 Hebrew Children - 6 Blue Hen (Geology Version) - 3 Werewolf King (Demo) - 3 Red Cow (Golden Calf Version) - 1 Chapelcross Towns - 5 Chernobyl, 1985 - 4 Mexican War Streets Revisited - 2
Fairfield (I don't care much for either of these, but the other song annoys me to no end and Fairfield shouldn't be shut out.) Blue Hen (I just love the feel of this one) Chapelcross Towns (This version of Red Cow pales (ha!) in comparison to the original. And again I just love the feel of Chapelcross) Chernobyl 1985 (I love the Manchester Orchestra version ofMexican War Streets Revisited maybe more than the original, but I also love Chernobyl, 1985 and the original MWS won the main album bracket so I'm going Chernobyl on this one)
That's it for round one! @Importer/Exporter broke the Blue Hen (Geology Version) vs. Werewolf King (Demo) tie so I don't have to. I listened to both songs on my commute this morning in preparation of breaking the tie and I was going to go with Blue Hen (Geology Version) anyway. Round One Final Totals: Fairfield - 2 Hebrew Children - 9 Blue Hen (Geology Version) - 6 Werewolf King (Demo) - 5 Red Cow (Golden Calf Version) - 1 Chapelcross Towns - 10 Chernobyl, 1985 - 8 Mexican War Streets Revisited - 3 --------------- Round Two: 1) Hebrew Children vs. Blue Hen (Geology Version) 2) Chapelcross Towns vs. Chernobyl, 1985
Blue Hen (Geology Version) Chapelcross Towns Tough decision in that second match up but ultimately I think these are the two best songs on the release.
