And good it is!

Only two rounds, and the "usual suspects" are already all there at the top of Division 1.

Decided that we also have time to run a league for the album's. So those polls will open. On Thursday. Will last 13 weeks which will allow for each album for face off against each other. Top 8 at season's end will make the playoffs.

Two of TBP's losses make sense, but to lose to New Millennium is incomprehensible.  Two of Ravenskill's losses came at the hand of other TA tracks, but its third loss is a no brainer, as are all of ABL's losses.

I guess nobody can be surprised at the top 4.

The "problem" with the top division is that it's so ridiculously packed with awesome songs that every match seems a difficult choice, and every consecutive defeat an anomaly  :D

I’m assuming the top 8 albums will be:

1: Images and Words
2: Scenes From a Memory
3: Awake
4: Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence
5: A Dramatic Turn of Events
6: Distance Over Time
7: Train of Thought
8: Falling Into Infinity or Octavarium depending on the matchups they draw

What are the red and green fonts signifying?  It's way too early for any song to have clinched a top 16 spot or be eliminated, isn't it?  What is the "Outsiders Club"?

The fonts are for trending.... if the season ended today sort of thing. Even then, the top 4 songs won't necessarily be promoted unless they advance to the final 4 of the tournament.

Outsider's Club is basically every DT song not in the 3 Divisions. If this done regularly, those songs can vie in a league, tournament, survivor etc to promote 4 up to Division 3.

I know this is the heavyweight championship, but it's kinda weird to see Illumination Theory at the very bottom.

No surprises for the top 5 so far. Take the Time is still going undefeated but it's evident that its victories are always contested and never a landslide like for the other four giants.

The top 3 and the last one remain the same. Six Degrees takes the 4th spot and I wouldn't be surprised if it would remain there...

I'm honestly amazed and impressed that Images and Words managed to concede as many as 4 votes to The Astonishing.

Right??  My guess would be a couple of those votes were motivated by:  "I know I&W will win, so I voted for TA just to avoid a shutout" (or something like that).

I was one of those four voters. I simply enjoy The Astonishing as an album much more than I enjoy Images and Words. If I considered Take the Time and Under A Glass Moon to be as good as the rest of the songs on Images and Words, I'd have voted for that album instead.

I just dont enjoy I&W as much as most of the rest. I love all their music, but I choose it the least. It really is different than all the rest and I like how they became a bit edgier after. I listen to TA much more often, but it's not my favorite either.

It bugs me, and not in a young Nefaryus way, to see Forsaken and Ravenskill still tied to the bottom!

The one that's out of whack for me is Constant Motion.  1-3-1?  I know most folks like ITPOE, but Constant Motion is, for me, the best song on SC by miles.
