Battle Of The Track Numbers: Track 08
Re: Battle Of The Track Numbers: Track 08
I really like Down to my Last the best. Blackbird is second.

To me, CoA and Fortress are far better than Blackbird. As is TSoF.Arctic wrote:I’m surprised TSoF is getting a handful of votes. I’m a fan of the song, but to me it sounds like one of those songs that tries to be an ‘epic,’ but instead is just a really good song that falls short of that mark. Both ‘epics’ on TLH feel that way to me. They’re in a tier of their own but definitely far underneath Blackbird, Cry Of Achilles, and Fortress.

This Side of Fate is a top 5 AB song for me. The only songs I can confidently say that I'd vote for above it are Blackbird and Cry of Achilles.Arctic wrote:I’m surprised TSoF is getting a handful of votes.

I can't be the only one to stick up for I Know It Hurts! This wasn't even a battle!

Maybe I should think about renaming myself to a song that I'd like to see win but that didn't make it this time?abw1987 wrote:Typical corrupt organizer naming himself as the winner
Re: Battle Of The Track Numbers: Track 08
I don't disagree. Just basing my comment on the thread as it exists. But by all means make a different thread with a new polling metric, I'd be curious of those results too.MuffinMcFluffin wrote:Again, that's unfair to say what is truly second place based on the voting system. You're tallying all first place votes that aren't Blackbird, but aren't accounting for BB voters' #2 songs in any way whatsoever.nildiven wrote:The one track that really needs no poll. But curious more to what comes in 2nd place. This side of fate is such a unique and underrated song IMO and has one of Myles best solos too.
Something else will be voted upon, but that doesn't necessarily give it full leeway compared to that of others.
Re: Battle Of The Track Numbers: Track 08
Yah. I really don't think anyone is saying this is a definitive best-of list. It's just a fun tradition after every album release. Don't take it so seriously . Ain't no prize for winning.nildiven wrote:I don't disagree. Just basing my comment on the thread as it exists.

Uhh, I'm not. When he says "Curious to see what comes in second place," it is he who decided to set the parameter that the second most first place votes would gain second place bid among the polling options. If he said: "Curious to see who receives the second most first-place votes," I wouldn't have said anything.Crumbso wrote:Yah. I really don't think anyone is saying this is a definitive best-of list.

And I am considering doing a new system via Google Sheets, but we would have to agree on a scoring system (as in, should first place be 6 points and last place be 1, or should every higher ranking be double the score of the previous one? etc.).
Re: Battle Of The Track Numbers: Track 08
It is what it is. You kinda non-sequitured that comment considering the lack of context and the fact that it was just a statement of his mental state in relation to this thread. Perhaps he is interested in seeing what comes in 2nd place specifically in the context of this thread's voting system.
