1.   In the Presence of Enemies vs. Disappear
2.   The Great Debate vs. The Count of Tuscany
3.   Breaking All Illusions vs. Pull Me Under
4.   Trial of Tears vs. Learning to Live
5.   Blind Faith vs. The Glass Prison
6.   Finally Free vs. In the Name of God
7.   Home vs. The Mirror
8.  A Change of Seasons vs. Fatal Tragedy
9.   Under a Glass Moon vs. Space-Dye Vest
10.   Octavarium vs. Hell’s Kitchen
11.   Beyond This Life vs. Stream of Consciousness
12.   Scarred vs. Overture 1928

14.   Take the Time vs. Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence
15.   The Spirit Carries On vs. Bridges in the Sky
16.   Metropolis vs. Illumination Theory

Pretty straightforward for me again. All of my top 10 DT songs are in this division - Illumination Theory was the only one I didn't vote for here, as it's up against Metropolis!
Whoaaaahh, ohhh, ohhhhh. Whoaaaahh, ohhhhh, ohhhhhh. Waaah, ahhh, haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaowwwwww

Match 5 was a tough one. I mean, I knew immediately that 'The Glass Prison' would get the vote, but it was too bad 'Blind Faith' needed to lose for it to win.

DoC, you used the exact term I was just going to use here. The big boys.

1.   In the Presence of Enemies vs. Disappear
2.   The Great Debate vs. The Count of Tuscany
3.   Breaking All Illusions vs. Pull Me Under
4.   Trial of Tears vs. Learning to Live
5.   Blind Faith vs. The Glass Prison
6.   Finally Free vs. In the Name of God
7.  Home vs. The Mirror
8.  A Change of Seasons vs. Fatal Tragedy
9.   Under a Glass Moon vs. Space-Dye Vest
10.   Octavarium vs. Hell’s Kitchen
11.   Beyond This Life vs. Stream of Consciousness
12.   Scarred vs. Overture 1928
13.   Voices vs. Lines in the Sand
14.   Take the Time vs. Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence
15.   The Spirit Carries On vs. Bridges in the Sky
16.   Metropolis vs. Illumination Theory

It will be fascinating to see how Breaking All Illusions does this year, after its spectacular progress to the Tournament Semi-Finals last time out. Although this year, of course, every week will be contests with songs close to it in the rankings, so it'll probably be harder to get a 20-0 season.

Also, I've realised that with the Division setup this year, only three sets of matchups will be needed (starting Monday-Wednesday), compared with the five lots we had last year (Week #A-D, then Match of the Week).

I liked it better where voting was spread throughout the week. Maybe I'll experiment with splitting up the Division 1 matches over two days.

1. ITPOE by a long shot.  Disappear is too depressing for me
2. The Great Debate, but it's close
3. BAI by a mile
4. Learning to Live by a HAIR
5. Blind Faith, but it's close
6. ITNOG, but FF is still a great song
7. The Mirror definitely
8. Fatal Tragedy
9. Space Dye Vest, close one
10. Octavarium, not even close
11. Beyond This Life by a good amount
12. Scarred by a million miles
13. Voices by a googol amount of miles
14. 6D, but TTT is still great
15. BITS definitely
16. IT, by a hair

1.   In the Presence of Enemies
2.   The Count of Tuscany
3.   Breaking All Illusions
4.   Learning to Live
5.   Blind Faith
6.   In the Name of God
7.   Home
8.   A Change of Seasons
9.   Space-Dye Vest
10.   Octavarium
11.   Stream of Consciousness
12.   Scarred
13.   Lines in the Sand
14.   Take the Time
15.   The Spirit Carries On
16.   Metropolis

Toughest one for me was Under a Glass Moon vs. Space Dye Vest. Both easily belong in my top 20 DT songs, but SDV has more emotional value for me so it wins out by a hair.

12. Overture 1928
13. Lines in the Sand
14. Take the Time
15. Bridges in the Sky
16. Metropolis

Other than Take the Time vs Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence and Bridges in the Sky vs The Spirit Carries On, these were pretty easy decisions to make for me.

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.
