The overture 'cause it's hard to vote six songs as once so I might as well go for the instrumental
The X Aspect (nice but plain)
Heaven's Cove
Begin Again (probably the least remarkable song on this)
Walking Shadow
Hymn
I use my sig to pimp some bands from Italy! Check out Elvenking (Power / Folk metal), Folkstone (Rock / Medieval metal), Arcana Opera (Gothic/Noir/Heavy metal) and the beautiful voice of Elisa!

Honestly, I think this format is dumb and not within the spirit of Survivor although I understand the reason, it just makes no actual sense considering this is DT and we are breaking down this album so you can't vote individual songs.

would you really prefer a month-long survivor where we spend 5 days voting out the nomad tracks

If there is more concern regarding this, perhaps I can change how I handle the results. Maybe after this round, now that the NOMACs tracks are out, I only eliminate songs who have x-number of votes, where in x is equal to or greater than half the number of voters. For example, last round, we had 26 (I think?) voters, so any song with 13 or more votes would be eliminated. Granted I did not do that for the first round considering "2285 Entr'acte" and "Whispers On The Wind" had 8 and 9 votes each, respectively, but I think from here on out, that would be a good compromise for multi-elimination, but keeping the number of songs going out to a reasonable number. It'll make the survivor a few rounds longer, but I won't be offing 6, 5, 4, 3, and 2 songs over the next 5 rounds. At most, it'll probably be 3 songs going out, depending on how the voting goes. And if no single song gets more than half of the number of voters' votes, then the one song with the most votes would go out.

How does this sound? Fair compromise? I'll still retain the ability to vote for multiple songs over the next few rounds (diminishing each total by one per round), but will handle the eliminations at a round-by-round basis.

It's not my survivor so you don't have to accomodate me.  I missed the last round and when I saw pick 6 tracks just recently, I was like "oh makes sense, everyone will pick nomac tracks and we don't have to deal with them" to then realize we are now grouping so many songs together to elminate.  Being a DT fan board, it just felt wrong.  That's my feeling.  It's up to you guys and mostly The Letter M to decide. 

would you really prefer a month-long survivor where we spend 5 days voting out the nomad tracks

What does it matter (I understand it matters a lot to The Letter M though)?  I thought this survivor would last a year (given the pace of other survivors here) but it's almost over  :lol But honestly, my answer is YES.

Interesting that quite a few people are voting Our New World already. That's one of the few really good songs on the album imo.

Fortunately for me, the album is full of very good songs, and a few are excellent.. Neither of these is that, but they're all good enough, except BCYHM, which is the only one I almost can't stand.. If the Brother melody would've been better, I think this album, in spite of the long it is, would be up there in my top three or four.. Anyways, it's not that far either; just behind 5 masterpieces..

When Your Time Has Come..

Brother, Can You Hear Me?..

The Road to Revolution..

Hymn of a Thousand Voices..

Our New World..

Astonishing..

Also, I have no problem with this survivor format as long as we go back to voting for one song per round when we get down to, say, fifteen to twenty songs.
