Connect the Dots

Even though I will be voting it next, I should say I kinda like Web of Lies.

Dots or Web aren't really bad songs but notb quite up to par compared to the rest of the album.

And I like Dots a little bit better so it's Web Of Lies.
Must've been Kwyji sending all the wrong songs.   ;D

Connect the Dots, Web of Lies is wonderful

Can we just not even count Web of Lies or Connect the dots?  We all know those will be 1 & 2 at going out.

That's a word salad - and take it from me, I know word salad

Yeah, I often feel like that on survivors with intro/interlude/generally hated tracks. :lol

Although they are both clearly the first to go, I must say I definitely prefer Connect the Dots to Web of Lies, mainly because I do love the chorus of Connect.

Well, among other things, these rounds give people time to relisten to the album. I don't think we're in a hurry anyway, so a few days won't hurt the competition in any way.

Web of Lies has a lot of Simone.

Not really all that finger-licking good.

If this ends in a tie, do we really need to bother with a tie-breaker?

Yes.

Or, we ask the as of now only single person that didn't vote those two songs to break the tie.

If it's really necessary, I'll swap my vote to the other :')

I voted Web of Lies, even though Connect the Dots would be next. The only merit Connect the Dots has over Web of Lies is that it's legitimately funny how bad the lyrics are. They made me laugh the first time I heard that song. I remember thinking 'this guy can't be serious..'
Hey dude slow the fuck down so we can finish together at the same time.  :biggrin:

I think that was the whole point, to show a plain, average guy's thinking. You can't portray your everyday dumb Joe with Shakespeare level of lyrics. For me the song works.

The chorus is pretty fun, indeed. I'm listening to the album again today (first time in a long while) and the song was alright, even though its placement on the album feels a little weird with regards to the story. That song (as well as Web of Lies) is completely disconnected from the rest, or so it seems. The Truth is In Here and E=mc2 suffer from the same problem.

This guy gets it.

I get your point Mirror, but it's still an album that people want to listen to.  I don't think that anyone should sacrifice musical/lyrical quality for the sake of staying in the story.
