Cold Little Heart defied the critics' odds at least- it was merely the 6th most acclaimed track in the quarter finals (out of the pre-2018 selections, only Says is ranked lower on AM by dint of being bubbling) and all but two of its opponents (Fists of Fury and What's It Gonna Be) feature higher on the top 10,000. Maybe not my favourite in the game but it earnt its victory!

Thanks BleuPanda, this tourney's given me more EOD list dilemmas! Congrats also to Jackson and Rob!

Thanks for this, BluePanda! Great winner!

Also, I won the prediction leaderboards? I didn't even think I was doing well on that regard.
