I know. Most castles built these days don't actually need such extravagant security measures.

That means you've missed exactly 3 total rounds since that's all that's transpired in your absence. I had finished their whole discography through the end of Watershed by the second week of January then probably set a DTF survivor record for procrastination by having a hiatus of more than 5 months between albums since I was desperate to be familiar enough with Heritage so I could actually vote competently in its survivor.

I'd try listening to it here and there but it was such a daunting task when I didn't yet like it that much that I usually had to be nicely buzzed to be in the right mood but then I wouldn't have much of defined memory as to which songs I actually liked or disliked when I woke up the next day.

Finally, I listened to it once more during round 1 or 2 of this survivor and it finally clicked to a point where I can have at least a tiny bit of certainty in my choices.
