Yeah. Even weirder that The Point of No Return is in but Aquarium is out. I like the latter way more.

Deathless being eliminated is a travesty, in my opinion.

It will take me a bit to work out the tiebreakers. Regardless, we will begin the album tournaments no later than Monday.

[RoeDent]

At least there's a clear break in the relevant groups of songs. No one tied for 16th or 24th. We know the 16 Championship songs and the 8 Consolation songs.

This might well be the first League where no song finished at 1.000.

[Evermind]

Falling Back to Earth was so close!
