Title: Rush Survivor 2020 - Snakes & Arrows - FINAL ROUND!!!
Post by: The Letter M on June 02, 2020, 07:34:30 PM

Snakes & Arrows
Armor & Sword
The Main Monkey Business

Round 10's Tie-Breaker's Results:
Far Cry 8 (61.5%)
The Main Monkey Business 5 (38.5%)

03. Far Cry
04. Malignant Narcissism
05. Spindrift
06. Workin' Them Angels
07. Hope
08. Faithless
09. The Way The Wind Blows
10. Bravest Face
11. The Larger Bowl
      We Hold On
13. Good News First

Posting this one up a bit early, but given the spread of the votes, I doubt TMMB will catch up to FC as we haven't had more than 14 votes in any given round lately, so Far Cry moves on to the Consolation Rounds.

After this album survivor, I think I'll run a Feedback (Exhibition) Survivor!

Armor by a landslide

Agreed.  When did A&S become a favorite of this album.  I can't even remember the melody or lyrics off the top of my head.

This might be the most laughable final round of any album so far.  TMMB is a serviceable instrumental, but it's nowhere near the best or second best song on this album.

Armor & Sword for the win.

I gave up on ranking the songs halfway through.

1. Armor & sword
2. Far cry
3. Faithless
4. Spindrift

5. Bravest face
6. Good news first
7. Workin' them angels

Everything else in no particular order. I've had a hard time connecting with a good chunk of the album for years now.

Armor & Sword for the win.

And, imo. I would reverse that position.  I'm not sure A&S would even be in my top 5 for this album.
