Heartache vs. God Heartache. Relient k has always had great closers and this is another great one. God is a good song too, but Heartache is a great one. Empty House vs. Air For Free Empty House by far. Air For Free is my second least favorite on the album. I also enjoy the autotune on Empty House. It throws you off, but it goes with it Cat vs. Mountaintop Mountaintop. Cat is very weird, and I like that, but Mountaintop is great Elephant Parade vs. Marigold Marigold might be my second favorite on the album. Song is just so good. Local Construction vs. Prodigal Lol this is literally my favorite track vs my least favorite. Local Construction is Top 5 Relient k material. Prodigal is not. Man vs. Sleeping This one is tough, but Man is so great. Especially since it ties into FANSD Mrs. Hippopotamuses vs. Bummin Go Brownies! Another tough one, Bummin' grew on me a lot when the album came out but I also love Mrs. H Flower vs. Runnin Flower. I just like how sad it is.
God Empty House Mountaintop Marigold Local Construction Man Bummin Flower Only really sad about not getting to vote for Air for Free or Sleepin'.

Heartache vs. God -Heartache Heartache is just too good. Empty House vs. Air For Free -Air For Free I know I'll probably be the only one to vote for AFF and that's okay. Cat vs. Mountaintop -Mountaintop Man this was a hard pick. I love Cat, but Mountaintop is such a fun song. Elephant Parade vs. Marigold -Marigold Easy, Marigold is one of my favs and EP doesn't get real good till the second half. Local Construction vs. Prodigal -Local Construction Easy pick as well. I like Prodigal, but it's on the lower end. Man vs. Sleepin -Sleepin Another tough pick, but Sleepin reminds me of what I like from Savannah. Mrs. Hippopotamuses vs. Bummin -Bummin Great opener Flower vs. Runnin -Flower Hardest pick by far, but I love Flower just a tiny bit more.
Let me do the album thing first. S/T- Softer to Me Anatomy- Pressing On Two Lefts- Jefferson Aeroplane Mhmm- High of 75 Five Score- Bite My Tongue FANSD- Forget and Not Slow Down CL- Collapsible Lung Air for Free- Local Construction
I'll list my winners and then brief explanations cause I like to go all out with these things: Heartache I love God but I have to go with Heartache. The last minute of the song (and album) is so good. Air for Free Why'd you match up two of the best songs so early?? :( I have to go with Air for Free though just barely. The outro is my favorite moment on the record. Cat Mountaintop was my least favorite song on the album for awhile but it's grown on me. However, Cat is just so darn fun. Gotta go with that. Marigold Ugh. Another tough choice. The end of Elephant Parade is incredible but Marigold is just so good as a whole. Local Construction Easy pick. Best song on record vs. worst. Man Both Man and Sleepin' reference FANSD which makes them emotional to me, but Man is a top notch RK song in every way. Mrs. Hippopotamus Wouldn't have thunk it when this released, but it's so so fun. Bummin' rocks though. Flower So hard, but Flower wins cause it makes me think of something The Dear Hunter or Falling Up would write. It's so epic. The "grandfather clock" portion of Runnin' is one of my favorite parts of the album though.
Status! Some clear winners and one shut out so far. I will leave these open until 7est since I promoted this in a couple threads. If a handful of people join us it could swing a few matches. But at 7 I'll call it. Then we will move on... Heartache (9) vs. God (3) Empty House (10) vs. Air For Free (2) Cat (4) vs. Mountaintop (8) Elephant Parade (1) vs. Marigold (11) Local Construction (12) vs. Prodigal (0) Man (11) vs. Sleepin (1) Mrs. Hippopotamuses (4) vs. Bummin (8) Flower (8) vs. Runnin (4)
I know we don't have a ton of voters, yet, but I think this will still be fun. We have a solid base here!
Final results! Heartache (10) vs. God (3) Empty House (11) vs. Air For Free (2) Cat (5) vs. Mountaintop (8) Elephant Parade (1) vs. Marigold (12) Local Construction (13) vs. Prodigal (0) Man (12) vs. Sleepin (1) Mrs. Hippopotamuses (4) vs. Bummin (9) Flower (8) vs. Runnin (5) Round 2 will be up in a moment
