Look it up on YouTube now, and you'll wish I still allowed vote changing

 

Aww man I want to get my picks in still! I'll have them in by 8 or so in the morning. Today just ended up being a really busy day and I never got around to giving the album a listen.

 

I'll leave it open to the AM

 

It's totally your call. I'll understand if you make a run rule decision!

I do most of my listening during my commute to and from work and I don't usually work on Sunday. I was going to try to listen tonight possibly but I've been dealing with a two year old who doesn't want to go to bed for about the last three hours so that's been fun haha

 

Roads
Powerless
Remains
Echo

 

Roads Untraveled
Powerless
In My Remains
Lost In The Echo

 

Finally got the kids to bed and was able to listen...

Roads Untraveled
Powerless
Lies Greed Misery
Lost In The Echo

 

If they do continue, which I'm betting they do, I really don't want them to pick up a new vocalist. Just retire the songs that require screaming. I'm sure Chester wouldn't have wanted them to stop.

 

Alright everyone, I think I am going to run rule this round. We have very clear winners in these matches. Some of them started out close, but when it came down to it some of the songs just could not compete with the likes of the others. Here are your final scores for round 1:

LIVING THINGS ROUND UP

Round 1

Skin To Bone-3
Roads Untraveled-16

Powerless-19
Tinfoil-0

In My Remains-13
Lies Greed Misery-6

Lost In The Echo-16
Victimized-3


This will see Roads Untraveled, Powerless, In My Remains, and Lost In The Echo press on to round 2. Round 2 looks to have some interesting matchups so let's get that underway. Here are those matches:

Round 2

Roads Untraveled Vs. Burn It Down

Powerless Vs.Until It Breaks

In My Remains Vs. Castle Of Glass

Lost In The Echo Vs. I'll Be Gone

Begin!

 

Roads Untraveled
Powerless
Castle Of Glass
Lost In The Echo (Definitely the hardest one this round)

A small part of me almost wants to give IBG the vote just to help mitigate the shot of LITE taking the win from COG lol

 

BID
PWR
COG
LITE

 

Burn
Power
Castle
Lost

 

I love this album a lot. That is all I want to say lol

 

Roads Untraveled
Powerless
Castle of Glass
Don't me choose between these 2! (Lost in the Echo I guess)

 

I have super mixed feelings on this album. I think, like, 50% of it is just fantastic, some all time LP tracks came from here. Talking Castle, Roads Untraveled, Tinfoil/Powerless, Lost In The Echo, I'll Be Gone, In My Remains. Some great stuff.

Then there's the interesting but not very well executed Victimized and Until It Breaks, the bleh Burn It Down and Skin To Bone, and the downright terrible Lies Greed Misery.

I feel pretty much exactly the same about The Hunting Party by the way

 

I feel alone in loving Skin to bone lol

 

Burn it Down
Powerless
Castle of Glass
Lost in the Echo

You're not alone!

 

All the songs you don't like are pretty much all in my favorites of the album (except maybe Until it Breaks). On the other hand, I don't get all the love for Roads Untraveled.

 

-Burn It Down
-Powerless
-In My Remains
-Lost in the Echo

 

Burn it Down
Powerless
In My Remains
Lost in the Echo

 

Living things probably has some of my least favorite LP songs (until it breaks, skin to bone) but it's highlights really elevate the album
Burn it down
Powerless
Glass
Lost in the echo

 

Burn It Down
Powerless
In My Remains (hard one for me!)
Lost In The Echo

 

Burn It Down
Powerless
In My Remains
Lost In The Echo

In My Remains vs. Castle Of Glass was a tough one for me and could have really gone either way. Burn It Down vs. Roads Untraveled was also close to a toss up. I like both songs a lot but I think I'm more likely to want to come back to Burn It Down. Powerless and Lost In The Echo were very easy picks for me!

 

Pretty much the same scenario with me haha.

 

Burn it down
Powerless
In my remains
Lost in the echo
