It's a shame for all the votes that came in after the poll closed, but that's how it happened. I can't make exceptions for this round, because that would be unfair. Polls last one day, tough luck if you're too late (and in this case, sad for Bound by Gravity).

My vote goes to Earthrise. Again.

The Architect

Very good chorus and second verse and I warmed up to the Initiate reprise in the end, but that leaves like 10 minutes of the song I don't like.

That's actually funny because I also don't like 1985 too much. Initiate, Lapse, Earthrise and The Endless Knot are the only ones I like here I guess.

progheads who find effective ballads boring are really funny  :P

Y'all vote somebody out way too early and there was a vocal minority who hated deathless as well

Saying this Host will probably be the first song I vote on Vector besides the obvious one

Except Deathless is great and Bound by Gravity is, well, not. :lol Somebody was a shame to lose early, yeah. I'm like the biggest ballads fan here, to be honest.

The obvious one being Nil by Mouth, I hope.

Bound By Gravity and Deathless are both great, Host however not so much so yea that should go early next album.

Lapse for now and it would seem that would leave us with the proper top 4 IMO

No, clear  :lol
Nil by Mouth is probably right after Host though but Nil by Mouth at least has some solid grooves, Host bores me

You people are crazy, Host is literally the best song on Vector.

Anyway, The Architect again.

Deathless is the best song on Visions and Bound by Gravity is the best song on Affinity but nah, Host is disappointing as heck

My point exactly.  It was a timing issue.  Keep the poll open for an extra day and results change.  Maybe for the better.

Or get your votes in on time. From the beginnin of the Survivor I’ve done one-day rounds with a break on Saturday and Sunday. It’s not as if that’s an impossibly weird schedule. Yes, it’s a shame that BBG is out, but it’s also the way the game’s played. Keeping the polls open for longer, especially considering I don’t do the weekend days already to ensure more votes, would only make this whole Survivor last way too long.
