UNDERTOW HAS WON THE PoS 2017 SURVIVOR one round in advance!
Last round Idioglossia tied 4-4 with Undertow and Idioglossia probably will end up 4th instead of 2nd with these result.

I'm curious about Her Voices vs Nihil Morari, they have always been at the middle of the standings around a 0 vote difference.
I hope No Way wins against Sisters and make its first win, and there is also an interesting Used vs A Trace Of Blood, where both the songs are tied at 46 points.

Edit: taking into account Parama votes the standings has changed and Undertow has not yet won the survivor this round!

Idioglossia
Undertow
In The Flesh
Beyond The Pale

is my top 4 considering songs in the final. Not bad results for me, but Idioglossia deserved the top 3.

Every single one of these was a very easy choice for me.

I took into account Parama votes for round 22 and modified the standings

Well, alright then, I probably should've post my votes for every weekend round I've missed, which is like five rounds or so. Still, glad that Undertow won.

Personally, I just don't see what's so good about Idioglossia, Top 20 PoS song at best, if not Top 30 for me.

Literally everything about it is great
Love the frantic vibe of the intro melody
The main motif is fantastic and builds up well throughout the ending to a wonderfully dissonant climax
The reprise of ashes that then takes it a step beyond in the second chorus is how to do a reprise right
The pretty solo after the second verse is great
The noisy solo after the second chorus is even better
The feels, man

I' ve considered some late votes during the album rounds too, so I decided to do it again. Changed results are:
Idoglossia vs Undertow 5-4
Handful Of Nothing - Sisters 4-4  :tdwn
The Deeper Cut - Disco Queen 5-4

It's top 10 PoS song, but not top 5.

I'd say it's a top 1 PoS song.

Though I'm perfectly okay with Undertow winning.
