Another really tight race between four songs in the middle, but "Home" pulled ahead by ONE vote over "Breaking All Illusions". The two songs from Awake also received a fair number of votes as well!

Time to break the illusion that Breaking All Illusions would win.

I want to vote for ACoS, but as I'm alarmed at the number of BAI votes last round, I'm going for my second-least-favorite, Voices.

The way it's looking, it'll be a tight race between "Breaking All Illusions" and "Voices" this round. I don't expect either to make it to the Final Four, though.

Between BAI and Scarred for me, I'm going with BAI to hopefully save Voices.

Pleasantly surprised that Home went out this early. Gives me a bit more freedom.

Breaking All Illusions is beautiful…but it’s the least best of this bunch. After this it’s going to be extremely difficult.

It has to reach its rightful third place!

...but it seems you guys have other plans.

Getting a little tougher now.  It's all killer, no filler.

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Voices deserves to get at least the Top 5 in this survivor.

I'm honestly surprised it's made it this far. Last time I ran this Survivor in 2017, "Voices" placed 3rd in the Awake Survivor ("Scarred" and "The Mirror" took 1st and 2nd respectively), and even though it went to Consolation, it barely missed it by placing 3rd there as well (losing to "Fatal Tragedy" and "Take The Time").

So if "Voices" does go out soon, it's already doing miles better than it did 5 years ago.

Voices is 100% depressing and just a drag to get through. Hate the samples which were rampant on that album. Over the years the song has slid down big time in my rankings and would struggle to crack the top 75.

Aw man…the samples were one of my favorite parts of early DT!

I remember when the live version of Eve with the samples was all we had!

Yeah, I don’t hate ALL the samples, just some are overdone.

That was really all we needed.

Regarding Dream Team's point, I initially found Voices a bit of a slog, but it eventually clicked for me.  The samples were always hit or miss.
