This album survivor has too much close results and it probably won't reflect our overall opinions, we would need more voters for this one. We risked a 4 way tie, but Disco Queen get one vote more than the others and it's out.

It's a good thing I don't care about this album, because this survivor is bonkers.

Huh, what do you know? Two in a row!

The world is looking bright.

Anyways, it's a toughie now. All songs here are just fantastic. There is literally no weak link here....Gosh. So hard, it's like TA all over again lol.

And that's why this is one of my favorite album of theirs. So freaking consistent. Even Disco Queen is amazing but I had to vote.

Title track.

wtf Disco Queen is far better than 6th place.

Flame

If Scarsick goes out, then we're left with the perfect Top 5.

Cannot believe Disco Queen is out. That middle section is among the best PoS moments of all time.

Kingdom Of Loss

Evermind · « **Reply #9 on:** March 09, 2017, 08:16:59 AM »

This survivor is already a disaster, but if this round ends with the result I see right now in the poll, this is going to be so facepalm-worthy.

Spitfall

Elite · « **Reply #10 on:** March 09, 2017, 08:24:26 AM »

Yeah, apparently people are so divided on this album that it really takes only 3 votes to oust the best song by far. I'd gladly change my vote to basically anything else if that would save it.

I would have done it the two previous rounds. This is one of the situations where I would like that everyone votes for their least favourite, otherwise everything is totally random.

Serah Farron · « **Reply #12 on:** March 09, 2017, 12:10:07 PM »

Just binged this album like I did with TA. Gonna have to vote so Spitfall.

Serah Farron · « **Reply #13 on:** March 09, 2017, 12:12:42 PM »

NOOO, not Flame!

Adami · « **Reply #14 on:** March 09, 2017, 12:21:43 PM »

Yea, if Flame goes out, I'm done until Road Salt. This is just insane.

potentially the worst survivor in dtf history

Prepare yourself to Spitfall in consolations

Who else voted for Flame to the Moth?

Elite · « **Reply #17 on:** March 09, 2017, 02:18:44 PM »

Spitfall in Consolations is more than fine, but Flame to the Moth is really the only song that stands out and is thus by far the best track on the album.

I think instead that Flame To The Moth and MMMM are the songs of the album that stands out less. All the others are distinctive when I think to them in the context of their discography, not necessarily because they are good (for example America, interesting song but I rarely listen to it). The distinctive thing of Flame To The Moth to me is Daniel's attempt to screaming in the chorus, but in my opinion the result is bad and brings down the song a bit. The rest of the song is good but nothing special or memorable.

Kwyjibo · « **Reply #19 on:** March 09, 2017, 11:31:53 PM »

Obviously opinions differ but for me the album starts dragging on side 2, mainly because of Modern Mary, Idiocracy and Flame. All of them aren't really bad but nothing special for me.

And this

Have either of you ever heard the version on On the Two Deaths? It makes the song so much better.

Kwyjibo · « **Reply #21 on:** March 10, 2017, 02:08:32 AM »

Sure I have, but I still don't love it.

And we're voting the studio version, do we?

But I can understand your frustration, most of the time you people vote off my favorite songs early and I'm asking myself if no-one has taste in music anymore, besides me, that is.

No.. I heard the live version of Handful Of Nothing and it's spectacular, I will hear Flame To The Moth too.
