TesseracT Survivor - Main Thread

[jakepriest]

Hello again guys! After the successful Periphery survivor, I figured I'd run a survivor in the same vein.

The survivor will consist of three album survivors followed by consolations and finals. The two top songs will head straight to finals and the third and fourth to consolations. The three top songs of consolations will join the others in the finals.

The main question I have for you participants is whether we or not should consider Concealing Fate one track or spread it into the six parts like it's on the album? I'd rather consider it one song, and a few of the tracks are really short anyway so they would probably go out early.

Participating! And I'd say count it as one song.

[Crow]

if you consider all the parts of concealing fate one song, you'll also have to consider altered state to be a four-song album

consistency

(in case it wasn't clear, i say consider them separate because tbh concealing fate has never registered as a "song" in my mind, just a suite

[BlackInk]

I don't agree with this. I consider CF one song, but not the sections of Altered State.

[jakepriest]

I'm pretty torn for Altered State. Of Matter and Of Energy could be considered songs imo, but the abrupt breaks between songs in Of Mind and Of Reality just kinda ruin the "song" feeling there. Also it wouldn't be much of a survivor with four songs on an album.

I'm thinking about running Arjen Lucassen complete Survivor in 2017 if no one does it before me and The Theory of Everything just screws everything up.

Well I don't think you can do much but really spread it into the four parts there.  Something like "A Reason To Live" makes no sense by itself. It's 46 seconds long for christ's sake.

[Train of Naught]

I should start a Napalm Death survivor and make tons of accounts to let You Suffer win the whole thing

ONE survivor results:
1. Concealing Fate
2. Eden
3. Lament
4. April
5. Nascent
6. Sunrise
7. Hollow

Concealing Fate is the winner of the album survivor. I'd say we got this album pretty right, especially the top four. I would personally switch up CF and Eden but this way works too to be honest. Updated the main thread with the results.

[BlackInk]

Switch Nascent and Sunrise and it's my exact rankings, so I'm happy.

[jakepriest]

Well I totally forgot to update this. Whoops.

[jakepriest]

Well I'm tired of waiting and at this point I just want to get this over with. Sorry to everyone who is following this survivor, I really did not expect that it would go down this way when we had 8+ people interested in the survivor.

CONSOLATIONS RESULTS
1. April
2. Cages
3. - 6. Of Mind - Nocturne
Of Matter - Proxy
Dystopia
Cages

I will begin the finals tommorow and hope that we won't have to eliminate four songs every round.

3. Of Matter - Retrospect
4. Hexes
5. Tourniquet
6. Of Matter - Resist

Funny that Eden won while Concealing Fate beat it in the main survivor. The same thing happened with Racecar and Letter Experiment in the Periphery survivor. 
Anyway, thanks again for being along for the ride everyone. I'm gonna miss voting everyday, so let's hope someone starts a new survivor I can actually participate in.
