You let The Province compete against The Road Of Bones? Those are probably two of my five favourite IQ songs of all! You are a monster

A Missile v From the Outside In

The draw giveth...

I just noticed they are exactly identical on vote differential and votes gained-conceded. The only difference (and it's the most important one) is the points totals. So The Province needs to win if it wants to overtake TROB at the top of the table.

A Missile v From the Outside In

 

Yeah, Rob vs Province is close, but Province definitely gets the vote. Only track I'd vote over that would be Seventh House

[jammindude]

Ya...I thought ROB vs TP would be more difficult, but it wasn't actually.   The Province is honestly my all time #1, and I cannot understand why it is so often overlooked in their live shows.  I don't think it's been performed since Frequency first came out.   And the only pro-shot show I've seen from that era (a pre-Frequency show that introduced some of the songs for the first time) didn't include it.

[Evermind]

Yeah no, just came back home and had to vote in this just to pitch another vote for The Road of Bones.

A Missile v From the Outside In

[romdrums]

Man, I wish Constellations was doing better in this tournament.  Easily one of the best tracks on The Road of Bones.

[Fritzinger]

Ya...I thought ROB vs TP would be more difficult, but it wasn't actually.   The Province is honestly my all time #1, and I cannot understand why it is so often overlooked in their live shows.  I don't think it's been performed since Frequency first came out.   And the only pro-shot show I've seen from that era (a pre-Frequency show that introduced some of the songs for the first time) didn't include it.

Thank you. The Province is in my opinion the greatest IQ song of all.

[RoeDent]

Goodness me, this thing suddenly got more active. More voters than we've had for any other round in the main event. Fantastic to see! If you're new, welcome aboard!
