Happy you broke it the way you did! Anthology was such a perfect parting gift for fans when they went on hiatus, and is a total jam besides. The Long Defeat Hurricane Salt and Shadow Whistleblower
Stay With Me Hurricane Salt and Shadow Whistleblower The Long Defeat vs. Stay With Me should've been the final. Hot damn. I voted for the one I don't think will win, but also my favorite song on the album by a bare margin over the other.
I don't want Stay With Me to die in Round 1, but it probably will :( My ideal final round would have been Hurricane vs Stay With Me
I always get chills when I get to the "There's no wind and there's no light, there's no song you hear at night" part of The Window.
Current scores : The Long Defeat - 7 Stay With Me - 2 Hurricane - 5 The Window - 4 Wake Up - 2 Salt and Shadow - 7 Whistleblower - 9 Seneca - 0
It makes sense that Seneca isn’t getting any votes but it’s a great little break. I hope the next album has more of Riley’s post-rock influence.
I like Stay With Me more than The Long Defeat, but the first two matchups are easily my top 4 from the album.
If The Window wins this round the second match up next round will be tough, The Window and Death from Above are the two best tracks in my opinion. Would probably have to go with The Window though.
