Another Day has way more to offer than Wait For Sleep.

Wait for sleep

I can't believe LTL is the second least favourite song from IAW, according to this poll partial results

Welcome to the trolling. It happens very often in survivors that songs that are loved my most get tons of votes yet no one ever admits that it was them.

@Splent: I know it's a pain in the ass but it seems to be that you might have to go for the option of not posting a poll but have people vote with comments and then count them. In the past this has solved the issue of the trolling.

Pull Me Under.

Both the top few songs and the bottom few songs on this album are all really close together for me.

There may be some trolling going on, but you can hardly blame people for not posting if they vote for Learning To Live legitimately considering the "It's impossible anyone could be voting for Learning To Live!" attitude. I probably wouldn't bother to post that I voted for it if it was my least favourite.

You are right. Let's pretend trolling doesn't exist, then. Matter of fact, the posting rule is more inteded to have those who are clueless about survival rules browse the thread deep enough to realize they have to vote their least favourite song. Because I can definitely see unexperienced users stumble into another IAW poll and distractely voting for their favourite of the lot without reading the OP!

Under A Glass Moon, although it's hard to chose one.

They could simply be voting for the one they like the least.

All of them in less then half a day? (and then no other vote for the following day) This happened to no other song in this poll. But whatever...

A couple months back when we were doing the In Absentia survivor, the first day trains got like 20-30 votes in less than an hour. The guy who was running the poll decided to re-do the first round but having people post their vote instead of doing a poll. Trains got 5 votes or something that way.
And you can see that none of the people that voted LTL has posted it so I think we can safely assume it's trolling.

Wait For Sleep.

Same here. The shortest songs are usually my least favourite. Less time to shine and showcase my favourite things about DT. WFS is still a lovely song though.

Trollers trying to skew the polls $:-\$

Ħ · « **Reply #50 on:** July 16, 2012, 02:17:31 PM »

Wait For Sleep, because it is the shortest song and therefore it is the worst song.

Wait for Sleep isn't bad by any means, but it is the shortest song, and has the least to offer.

Sorry, should clarify my post

I also voted for WFS, the $:-\$ smilie was related to the discussion of the trollers and LTL

Yeah, I'm not arguing about that. But I do think that Another Day's votes are legit, which is how I read the statement that I was quoting. I just realized, though, that he could have been referring to LTL as well.

Oh well.

Wait For Sleep is excellent and imo holds up as a whole song way better than Surrounded or Another Day.

FTFM

As much as it pained me to vote for Another Day, IMO it's the weakest song on a fantastic album.

No. Just. no. This whole thing becomes boring if you do it that way. And getting upset about possible trolling means you are taking the results of this waaaaaay too seriously. These things are supposed to be fun, but if splent changes it back to no one seeing the results until the round is over, all of the fun is taken out of it.

My favourite IAW song by now. Maybe because I took it to my vocals lessons and I really got into it.
