Well, this is another obvious round, but I'm very excited about the rounds that will follow. It's going to be really interesting.

Day Thirteen easily. All the songs left are 9/10 or 10/10 after this one goes out.

Wow. I think it's one of the best slow songs. For absurd, James' part is the least good one, the melody at the beginning is hauntingly beautiful and when Marcela Bovio comes in, it's just wonderful.

[jakepriest]

I like slower songs, but this one is just borderline boring to me. I don't skip it when I'm listening to the album, but I just don't feel the emotion it's supposed to evoke I guess.

[Evermind]

I love Sign. If it wasn't for the last section that goes "Can you see, I swear it's true", which I find to be mood-killing and generally not enjoyable, this song would've been in my Top 5 from the album.

After that it will get brutal.

Might as well do this thing since I had to put in the effort to actually rank this thing from top to bottom since I found it hard to go by heart on this one:

19. Vigil
20. Playground

My predictions are not identical to my personal top 3 either, mostly went with what I think is the most popular, which was pretty much just as hard

This was already pretty hard to be honest, I really like Vigil but it just has less to offer in its short runtime, even though there are parts in other songs I like less
