At 13 votes now it's a near equal spread.

This is the first time that the two tracks I voted for are also the ones with the most votes.

Sick Times is a damn good track, but definitely a grower. Voted for RFTD.

Agreed. Thought this would be a top 3 here.

Nothing is Real has always felt like a deliberate attempt at a 'super nostalgic' track to me, for some reason it doesn't quite hit the spot.

When I say 'doesn't quite hit the spot', I mean it's really good, but not really REALLY good ;)

I'm surprised at how few votes Palace Posy has gotten. I remember that track getting a lot of mixed reactions. It certainly is a wonderful one, that's for sure. Nothing Is Real is also really REALLY good.

I consider it the highlight of the album - it is just remarkably... weird - yet in a good sense! I was also somewhat appalled by in the beginning, and to some extent I am still about the first minute. But when the heavier beat comes in at 1:06, the track just kicks ass and the part from 2:32 is just superb. I just wish it was a bit longer.

It is however not the track I put on for non-BOC listeneners unless they have a really developed taste of music

Yeah, it's definitely the highlight of the album.

I also thought Palace Posy would be getting many more votes this round, and I'm pleasantly surprised to see it so low. It's a really unorthodox Boards track, but it's amazing.

Sick Times is also a favourite of mine.

Gemini, best BOC album opener ever, and Split Your Infinities gone already? Get tae fuck!

Totally baffling how Reach for the Dead has gotten so few votes, considering the quality of tracks that have been voted down. Even Nothing Is Real, which is about as close to fanwank as Tomorrow's Harvest gets, somehow has more votes.

Btw, would it have killed you keep each round open for at least a couple of days so people could actually vote? It's not like the place is buzzing with news and activity.

Would it kill anyone to log in everyday for 10 seconds and vote?

I feel you, I remember chilling outside when TH just came out, we had speakers with us and everything, second time listening to Come to Dust ever (1st time was the livestream). It was getting darker outside and colder, but when that song came on, I seriously got warm, it was quite a weird experience.

I missed one of the rounds because I forgot to visit the forum one day. FUCK YOU, PEACOCK TAIL, YOU'RE THE WORST THING EVER. [sarcasm]

I don't think I can vote any more. Unless Palace Posy and Nothing Is Real survive, then I'll continue to vote against them. This record is the hardest to vote against for me because I don't think of it as a complete piece of music rather than a collection of songs, and I love every second of it.

Harsh. I can see why you'd think that but I still like it.
