Unacclaimed VI: Heats, Week 7

Post by Bang Jan »

The way this game works is that you will be given two sets of four songs, your job is to rank each of the sets from best to worst. First place gets 4 points, second gets 3 etc.

The song with the most points in each set will advance to the semi-finals. If there is a tie for points, then the song with more first place votes will advance. If they are tied on first place votes as well, there will be a sudden death tiebreak. Also the six highest scoring non-winners in the heat stage (based off point per voter and then percentage of first place votes) will also advance to the semi-finals.

Feel free to ask any questions, deadline is next Wednesday at 15:00 UTC.

Steven Wilson's music has always sounded to me as if a near-AI has been fed every prog album ever made and is trying to prove it is a real AI by creating the best prog album ever - and failing because that is what it sounds like. 'Luminol' definitely challenges that perception and would normally deserve to win it's group in this game, but 'Sebastian' is what this game is all about; a great and unexpected find.

Have to chime with the consensus on Sebastian- it and Cashing In are my strongest 4th and 3rd-places yet, they would have been group winners in other weeks:
