I never said The Earth Will Shake is a bad song. It's really good and I would put it above several other songs on the record. There are just several songs I would put above it as well. It's a great song but in my opinion a middling song on Vheissu, a record composed entirely of great songs.
The Earth Will Shake The Weight Firebreather Anthology Cold Cash And Colder Hearts vs. The Weight was the toughest one for me. I wish The Long Defeat had been matched up against something other than Firebreather so I could have voted for it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Current scores: Phoenix Ignition - 2 The Earth Will Shake - 20 Cold Cash and Colder Hearts - 6 The Weight - 16 The Long Defeat - 8 Firebreather - 14 To Awake and Avenge the Dead - 9 Anthology - 13
I have to say this thread is doing very little to help me close the distance between Thrice and every other artist on last.fm... Great bunch of finalist songs though!
It's been 24 hours, so time to move on. Final scores: Phoenix Ignition - 2 The Earth Will Shake - 22 Cold Cash and Colder Hearts - 8 The Weight - 16 The Long Defeat - 10 Firebreather - 14 To Awake and Avenge the Dead - 11 Anthology - 13 Semi-finals: The Earth Will Shake vs The Weight Firebreather vs Anthology
The Weight Firebreather I like all 4 of these final songs, but none of them are near my actual top 4. Well, if I bothered to make that actual list. Which I haven’t. Haha
