Hello all, here's the home thread for the first ever Pattern-Seeking Animals Survivor! Even though the band has only been around for about 3-4 years, they've already released three studio albums, and have quickly become one of my favorite bands in recent years! John Boegehold has stated this his intent with the band was to release an new album about every year, so I suspect I'll be revisiting this Survivor every other year or so, but to start, we've got their first three albums, which feature just 25 songs.
As usual, the 1st and 2nd place songs on each album will automatically advance to the Finals, but just to shake things up a bit, and since the first and third albums have a few more songs than their second, the third place songs on their debut and third albums will also advance, making for 8 total automatically advancing to the Finals.
As for Consolation, I'll take the 4th and 5th songs from P-SA and OPT, plus the 3rd song from PT, for a 5-song Consolation Survivor. If that seems a bit complicated....oops? Just trying to make this one last a bit longer before I buckle in for the big Genesis Survivor (which will probably go into next year). This will give us a nice round 10-song Finals (which is more than a third of their curren total songs, but hey, it'll look nice when all is said and done).
I'll probably take my time on this one and run each album by itself at a time. Barring any ties, this will be a 35-round Survivor, so about 70 days, which means it'll last til about September 5th (Labor Day). I hope to see at least a handful of fans here voting in this one!
