    I take a few days off from here to start my move and you all have gone nuts and toasted the Binaural poll.
    That most can't grasp the true angst and awesomeness of Breakerfall is and always will be mind boggling to me. Rival gone first round :open_mouth:.
    And now voting Of the Girl off! :angry: To anyone calling is simple, you clearly don't get the nuances that make that song great. It's tempo it one of the best parts of it.
    I have had the worst time picking any song off this album but I have to say leaving Insignificance in the final is just wrong. There are three songs there that bury it.

    *sigh* these polls have definitely shown that I just don't run with the regular crowd at all.
    Anything you lose from being honest
    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    Wow. Unbelievably tight 'final four'.

    I agree that Insignificance is weak sauce (I was voting for it to go last round). I agree that people have been smoking way too much dope prior to voting.

    I'll vote Light Years and try and help it win so that the people who voted off the good songs (SOH and Of the Girl) are forced to look at what they've done.

    When the 'best of the best' round starts... the first song voted off will be Insignificance/ Light Years. Well... maybe the Fixer. Who knows?

    Or that there is no regular crowd, at least among 10 clubbers. Crowds are overrated anyways.

    And this is why Binaural is (and these polls are) amazing. If I had been forced to bet, I would have probably put money on one of Breakerfall, Thin Air, Grievance or Sleight of Hand. And I'd have been so wrong.

    Of The Girl for the win.

    Round 3 was brutal as far as the songs that didn't make the cut. Can't believe those got axed and others didn't. And Rival going down in the first round?? Folks need to clean out their ears :wink: Love all the differences in opinion.

    I know, I'm sorry I'm in the process of moving. Of course they move on to Binaural when I'm insanely busy and on the road a ton.

    And then these crazy people voted off Breakerfall! I literally can't even! :wink:

    agree that insignificance is weak. The song has always fell flat live imo. I hate that "dramatic" pause/fake ending toward the end of the song.

    Obviously, Binaural voting is the beginning of fucked up winners. I wonder if we would have the same finalists if we did this album again. Very disappointed in Rival, SoH, Breakerfall and PW going too soon. Breakerfall is such an underrated song and even better live.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Okay but I just found this quote from you from the Yield finals:
    I think I just f**ked up my vote.
    I don't think it would have made a difference. GTF is an unreal song as well.
    Yield. What a great album.

    I can't grasp this either. I do like Light Years and Of the Girl a lot, but Grievance having more votes than Insignificance (by a lot) is mind blowing.

    Favorite album, can't vote

    I'm with you. I think I've sat out of the vote a couple times on Binaural. Didn't have that issue on the other albums. But now that my personal favorites are missing, it's especially difficult. Maybe we can tell ourselves that each round is like a new EP. Try to forget the ones that were left behind. Looking at the field... when push comes to shove, there MUST be a weaker link, right?

    (If I sound unconvinced of my own logic, it's because I am.)
