Day One: Vigil is eliminated by the majority of votes, and I suppose that's the last round where the result was obvious. Let's see what happens in Round 3.

The deadline for this round is 48 hours.

At this point, this becomes way more exciting and also way more difficult for me. I was choosing between a few songs, but seeing how Voices consistently got a vote in the previous rounds, I'm going with that one.

Actually Sign is the only song I don't like, the others are all good in one way or another. Vigil and Playground just ended below them because they're fine as they are for the story but don't really do much for me on their own.

the three songs i'd like to see go out first are Mystery. Memories, and Disclosure tbh. they're all good, i just like the rest more
going with Memories for now I guess

[MirrorMask]

Hope

[Elite]

Yeah. it's gotta be one of those disc 1 tracks, but I'm not sure yet which one. I'm between Hope, Memories, Mystery and Childhood.

[Kwyjibo]

Now let the slaughter begin.

Hope

[Evermind]

I'm looking at your votes, guys, and I'm like "nope", "no way" and "but this song is so good!". They all are so damn good.

[Crow]

Oh yeah hope can go too that's totally fine

Heck I might have voted that if I remembered it existed

[jingle.boy]

Sign is the least best of the rest.  I'll never forget mrs.jingle proclaiming that Bovia sounds like "a cat in heat" one time that I was listening to this.

[MirrorMask]

I went through the lyrics (I remember all the songs, but not on command all the 20 titles), and I was like "Mh, I can vote for this... nah, this part is good... this part also... wow, this song is so cool... what, I'm already at the end of the album?"

Guess I'm already in difficult choices mode.

[jingle.boy]

I think we're all going to feel that way for the next 15 rounds.

Guess I'm already in difficult choices mode.

Yeah.

I'm just going to say that again, except that awful last part where Arjen and Marcela trade lines, Sign is bloody awesome. All Heather's, Marcela's and James' parts before that are wonderful, in my opinion.

Damn this really is not an easy choice. I was just relistening to the album to make a ranking, and I was still waiting for a bad song to come on when the album ended. 

I'm also going with sign.

[jakepriest]

Thank you guys. I was worried I would have to vote for it forever.

[MirrorMask]

Screw you all.
