-----------------

That does it for the Artificial Selection bracket! I'll be posting the next round soon.

 

This round will be a "catch all" round consisting of any other songs not covered up to this point. Originally I had planned on doing this round after the Afterburner round but that doesn't come out for a couple days so here we are.

Here are the only songs that are a part of this round:

Pussy Vultures
Summertime Gladness
Head Hunter
Blood Wolf

People You Knew and Perfect were both covered in the Downtown Battle Mountain II bracket and I had not planned on including covers or unreleased demos.

Here we go...

------------------------

Round One:

1) Pussy Vultures vs. Blood Wolf

2) Head Hunter vs. Summertime Gladness

 

Blood Wolf
Head Hunter

not a huge Pussy Vultures fan, but Summertime Gladness is amazing, but I think Head Hunter is even better.

Wait we’re really doing an afterburner round?

 

I planned on it, but I didn't really schedule this out as well as I could have...

My thinking now is to start the Afterburner round after this current round is over and to keep each round open for a few days to give people a chance to hear the album.

In hindsight I probably should've started the bracket a week or two later than I did

 

No worries, that's a lot of work on your part. Thanks for all you've done here, it's really motivated me to give the back catalog a good listen before Afterburner.

P Vultures - I really appreciate that it's a serious Jon moment, with Tilian playing back fiddle.

Head Hunter - unlocked their discography. Up until this song I had never been able to get into the band, outside of a few songs here and there.

 

Pussy Vultures - Easy win for me.
Summertime Gladness - This is a hard round but Summertime wins. That ending is just too good. Head Hunter is a great song too though.

Pussy Vulture - Honestly, this song has a special place in my heart. I remember blasting it while driving up the Northern California coast and thinking about my first ever break up when I was a teenager. That bit where Jon goes "Until I can't crave it at all, until I can't forget it existed" is so cathartic.

Summertime Gladness - I must've listened to this nearly 400 times. This is just a perfect song. Catchy, weird and groovy in all the right ways.

 

I’ll keep this open for another hour to see if the tie gets broken.

 

Pussy Vultures and Blood Wolf are both solid songs that I enjoy, but I'll give Blood Wolf the slight edge here. I was hoping someone else would make the decision for me!

Final Totals:

Pussy Vultures - 7
Blood Wolf - 7 (8)

Head Hunter - 5
Summertime Gladness - 9
