Welcome to the last leg of Ayreon/Arjen Lucassen Survivor and thank you for your patience. This should be wrapped up in a month (maybe allow a week more in case I'm not there on some weekends to create the threads, but overall, a month). League format, 15 rounds, songs will face each other in the matchups; the song with most victories after 15 rounds wins the whole thing. For predictions, Top 5 is what matters.

You can vote up to 8 songs, please vote only once in each match-up. Don't forget you have to vote for the winner of each match-up.

With that, let's begin our Round 1.

The deadline for this round is 48 hours.
This first band is Soen very cool swingy jazz fusion kinda stuff.

For me it's top seeds except Liquid Eternity, which I think I prefer to a lot of songs in there. As I said before, Jorn/Floor moment in the second half is probably the most epic thing Arjen has ever written.

Too bad the best Guilt Machine song didn't make it to finals

I'm the only one voting Trauma and 24 Hours.  I again wonder when 01011001 became so universally loved?

Always top seed except for Liquid Eternity
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!

I just think Age of Shadows is one of his best songs, not a huge fan of the album overall.

And there aren't many songs I would not pick over Trauma, so it's not necessarily praise towards The Sixth Extinction :lol

Well, The Sixth Extinction is also his best song, so there's that too.

Age of Shadows, Beneath the Waves, and The Sixth Extinction are all great yeah

Wouldn't miss most of the rest of the album though, ranges solid to embarrassing
