Iron Maiden Survivor 2016 - The X Factor - Round 2
« on: May 09, 2016, 11:26:23 PM »
Round 1 Tiebreaker Results:

Look for the Truth - 14 votes - 73.7%
The Unbeliever - 5 votes - 26.3%


Eliminated:
1.
2.

3.
4.

5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.
11. Look for the Truth


Look for the Truth is easily eliminated in a tiebreaker with The Unbeliever, and is the first song to go out from this album.

____________

Well, I'm fine losing Look for the Truth. I really like it, but it's one of the lower ones on the album. Embarrassingly, I still haven't given this one a good listen... Been busy with finals, had to listen to Fear of the Dark, have to listen to St. Anger... I'll hopefully get to it before this round expires, and probably go for 2 AM or Man on the Edge. But one word of advice to my fellow The Unbeliever lovers: Notice that the same number of people voted for The Unbeliever in the main round as in the tiebreaker. That suggests that there are only 5 people who really dislike this song, so if at least one other song gets 5 votes, The Unbeliever is probably safe.
And if spirit's a sign,
Then it's only a matter of time

You really should be familiar with an album before you go voting IMO, especially an album like this.

Lord of the Flies.
Everyone else, except Wolfking is wrong.

Oh, I suppose I wasn't clear! I love this album! According to iTunes I've listened to it over 40 times. I just mean I haven't given it a good listen within the past few weeks, and it's been so long since bothered to come up with a definitive ranking for it, that I really have no idea which ones are my least favorites (because I love them all so much).

No worries! Top 5 for me as well. Maybe as high as #3.

Ah, wow! Maybe wouldn't go quite that far, but I love it. Awesome to see that this album has other fans. Hopefully it will eventually get the recognition it deserves.

Nah, I'm pretty sure it never will, but I'm fine with that.

It's good, but the others are just fantastic. All of them.

Still going after The Unbeliever, sorry. As simple as it is I like the melodies on 2 A.M. ...
I use my sig to pimp some bands from Italy! Check out Elvenking (Power / Folk metal), Folkstone (Rock / Medieval metal), Arcana Opera (Gothic/Noir/Heavy metal) and the beautiful voice of Elisa!

The Unbeliever

I am fine if 2AM gets the votes, but Lord of the Flies and Man on the Edge are better than this
