Current scores: Phoenix Ignition - 8 Identity Crisis - 6 Round ends in 1 hour. You don't have much time left to save (or kill) Identity Crisis!
Yep, sorry about the delay. This round is now over. Phoenix Ignition managed to get the win, but was still not as safe as I thought it would be. I guess it was an illusion of safety.
A BRACKET TO END ALL BRACKETS: THE ANTHOLOGY OF THRICE. For those who are new to the concept, these are randomly generated brackets (no seeding!) where we go from album to album and put the songs from an album against each other. We vote on each matchups until we have a winner for each albums. Those songs will then face off in a Champions bracket to decide the best overall Thrice song! Same rules as the other brackets: Rules: 1. Voting will take place over 10-24 hour period, depending on how close the matches are (if there's a wide margin too far to beat, the round may be run ruled to not waste time). 2. You must vote on every match in a round. If you don't your other votes don't count. Just reply to this thread with your choices. I will not vote unless there is a tie needed to be broken. 3. Feel free to discuss why you chose one song over the other and why you like that song. It's what keeps these fun! 4. I avoid byes into rounds if I can, but sometimes it's necessary. These are randomly generated; I do not pick them. 5. Once your votes are counted, signified by me 'liking' your post, there are no vote changes. Choose wisely before posting! 6. The King John Rule: Only participate if you've heard these songs. You are welcome to look them up and listen before hand, but if there's evidence you haven't heard them before or you're just voting to help/hurt a song your votes will not count. And the most important rules of them all : Have fun and stay respectful of each other. THRICE FACE OFF: ILLUSION OF SAFETY ----- Round 1 1) The Red Death Vs.

Wow. This is hard. Such a solid album front to back. 1) To Awake and Avenge the Dead 2) Where Idols Once Stood 3) So Strange I Remember You 4) A Living Dance Upon Dead Minds 5) Betrayal is a Symptom
To Awake and Avenge the Dead A Subtle Dagger (tough one) See You in the Shallows (even tougher) Deadbolt Kill Me Quickly
To Awake and Avenge the Dead – This was an easy one for me. That ending! A Subtle Dagger – Definitely a tougher matchup, but I just love the guitar work in this song. So Strange I Remember You – Another easy(er) one for me. I've always loved this song, especially the live version they started doing later and captured on If We Could Only See Us Now. I always wished we could get a studio version of that. A Living Dance Upon Dead Minds – Of course I love the guitar work in "Deadbolt" but after that the next best part is the piano outro. I also just really like ALDUDM, it foreshadows some of the sound they explore on Artist, and it's a good combo of heavy and catchy. Kill Me Quickly – I've never been huge on BIAS and KMQ is such a killer opener.
@BTDandFeelingThis I haven't seen you vote after Round 1. We're starting Illusion of Safety now! @js977 I haven't seen you vote in the first album and I remember you said you were interested to do a deep dive in the Thrice discography. We're at Illusion of Safety now!
