Updated with the results from The Perfect Element

[Nihil-Morari]

The results are looking rather good actually.

The results are looking rather good actually.

I know, they're quite alright, but I was being a little sarcastic in my initial post

Alright, for the bonus/extra/cover songs run I have the following listed at the moment:

- Never Learn to Fly (Entropia Japanese edition bonus track)
- Beyond the Mirror (OHBTCL Japanese edition bonus track)
- Time Weaver's Tale (OHBTCL Japanese edition bonus track)
- Thorn Clown (Remedy Lane Japanese edition bonus track)
- If You Wait
- Gone
- Bonus Track B
- Yellow Raven (Scorpion Cover, this one and the above three are from the Linoleum EP)
- What She Means to Me (Road Salt One, limited edition bonus track)
- Break Darling Break (Road Salt Two, limited edition bonus track)
- Of Salt (Road Salt Two, limited edition bonus track)

Please tell me if I'm missing some. Also, should I send the winning song to the consolation or finals or neither or should I even do this run at all?

[Elite]

Updated the OP with the results from Remedy Lane, as follows:

Remedy Lane

1. Beyond the Pale
2. A Trace of Blood

4. Undertow
5. Chain Sling
6. Second Love
7. Dryad of the Woods
8. This Heart of Mine (I Pledge)
9. Waking Every God
10. Ending Theme
11. Fandango
12. Of Two Beginnings
13. Remedy Lane

[Elite]

Updated the OP with the results from "BE".

Regarding the bonus tracks listing; I never got any replies for that; is anyone in for them at all, or shall I just leave it as it is? This is especially relevant for Road Salt One and Two, since their limited editions feature extra tracks, which I will not include on their respective survivors, unless people object to that.

[Scorpion]

Yeah, I'd say don't do the bonus tracks. Most people don't know them, and I doubt that they'd get very far in the finals anyway, though Lord knows that Thorn Clown would deserve to.

[Elite]

Updated with results of the Scarsick survivor!

[Elite]

Updated with the results of Road Salt One.

[Scorpion]

The song is called Road Salt, not Road Salt One (in the last part of the OP, where you list the finalists).

So, Iter Impius has been crowned as the greatest Pain of Salvation song on DTF. I'm very happy about this and about all the results for that matter. This was a great ride and I thank everybody who voted for voting!!

Then just for the hell of it, my personal PoS top 5:

1. Iter Impius
2. King of Loss
3. Rope Ends
4. Nightmist
5. Handful of Nothing

So, my favourite one won, yay!

[Scorpion]

Thanks for running this Rich! Iter Impius is indeed a worthy winner.

My Top 5:

1. People Passing By
2. Beyond the Pale
3. Idioglossia
4. King of Loss
5. Iter Impius

[Destiny Of Chaos]

1. Used
2. Her Voices
3. Undertow
4. Inside Out
5. The Perfect Element

[Crow]

1. Idioglossia
2. A Trace Of Blood
3. Iter Impius
4. Undertow
5. The Perfect Element

this probably changes every time I listen to any of their albums
or at least any of their first 5

[Elite]

You can't tell me that out of four people so far no one else has Iter Impius as his #1

[Crow]

the problem with the survivor format is that people vote their least favorite, so a song that everyone agrees is pretty good is likely to win, even if none of them think it's the best.
