Baby as part of Savannah is easily better but I can't pick it on it's own. I'm not a fan of a lot of the splits on the album. I think Oasis is the only one I still have on as it's own interlude.
Well at least the interludes make the voting easier at the outset. I Don't Need a Soul Savannah Sahara Over It Part of It Candlelight But it hurts seeing the title track go down this early. :(
Forget and Not Slow Down Sahara If you Believe Me Baby Flare This Is the End The hardest choice here is between This is the End and Candlelight. Love both of those songs! Went for a couple of the intro/outros which I hope people won't criticise me for - it's just when I think of the songs those bits are often the things that get stuck in my head.
I Don't Need a Soul - for me this one was a grower but I've come to consider this one of their best songs ever Sahara If you Believe Me - toughest matchup this round. Savannah is so good but If You Believe me is my favorite on the record Over It Part of It This Is the End - man this album is so good -
I Don't Need a Soul and Forget and Not Slow Down are probably my two favourite songs on the album, sad they're against each other in round one.
Afternoon standings... Will let this stay open probably all day. I'll see where we are before I go to bed. Forget and Not Slow Down (3) I Don't Need a Soul (4) Oasis (0) Sahara (7) If you Believe Me (2) Savannah (5) Baby (1) Over It (6) Flare (1) Part of It (6) This Is the End (4) Candlelight (3) We have a couple close matches. Nice to see Baby and Flare get some love.
Personal opinion: This Is the End should not beat Candlelight because it's not even a complete song. And Candlelight is absolute bliss. But y'all do y'all.
Wow this is gonna be a hard one Forget and Not Slow Down vs. I Don't Need a Soul Title track I guess. Both are really good. This is hard. Oasis vs. Sahara Sahara. I have loved this track since day one. Oasis is beautiful but can't go against one of my favorites on the record If you Believe Me vs. Savannah Savannah. This is one of my all time favorite Rk songs easily Baby vs. Over It Baby. I really don't know again tbh Flare vs. Part of It Part of It. That intro is so good wow This Is the End vs. Candlelight This Is The End. I mean I love Candlelight, but we are talking about the first half of one of the best album closers of all time.
One could argue all the songs that connect with the interludes are not complete songs in a similar way. So, that logic does not work with this album. I won't say which I'm rooting for, but anyone who saw me post in the AP days knows which I prefer.
Forget and Not Slow Down vs. I Don't Need a Soul -Forget and Not Slow Down Oasis vs. Sahara -Sahara If you Believe Me vs. Savannah -Savannah If you Believe Me is still amazing though. Baby vs. Over It -Over It Forgot how much I enjoyed Over It. Flare vs. Part of It -Part of It This Is the End vs. Candlelight -Candlelight Hardest pick.
Gonna close round 1 now. Final scores! Forget and Not Slow Down (6) I Don't Need a Soul (5) Oasis (0) Sahara (11) If you Believe Me (3) Savannah (8) Baby (2) Over It (9) Flare (1) Part of It (10) This Is the End (7) Candlelight (4) Round 2 will start shortly
FORGET AND NOT SLOW DOWN FACE OFF Round 2! Let's go! Forget and Not Slow Down vs. Therapy Sahara vs. Savannah Over It vs. (If You Want It) Part of It vs This Is The End Vote away!
So the best song on the album is out in round one, this is some bullshit. We were doing so well for the first two albums as well.
Yeah, I think in some ways it indicates what a good album this is... it seems as though there are several tracks that really appeal to different people. It will be fascinating to see where we end (and probably infuriating moments along the way!)
