AMDB9 4693 Posted April 14, 2016 We need more votes!! Maybe people like @alisbe or @Nie could vote? Or perhaps @anthamic wouldn't mind dropping the ii off his vote?? ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Adversary 1039 Posted April 15, 2016 Maybe @anthamic could change his vote to Always in my head so we can get rid of these pesky Newplay songs quickly and get down to the real competition? :P Also people like @beastwars and @prospekt46 could join the conversation?

AMDB9 4693 Posted April 15, 2016 Please keep in mind that this is not an oldplay vs newplay elimination game, but one in which we eliminate based on how well each song does of opening its respective album :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I ran away 12777 Posted April 15, 2016 oldplay vs newplay elimination game, Now you just gave me a terrific elimination game idea. There will be blood... :wink3: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Adversary 1039 Posted April 15, 2016 Please keep in mind that this is not an oldplay vs newplay elimination game, but one in which we eliminate based on how well each song does of opening its respective album :) Of course but it still stands to reason that people who prefer the older material would think Politik is a much better opener than A Head Full Of Dreams, for example.

prospekt46 489 Posted April 15, 2016 I don't know how these things work but I will do this: Best to Worst Politik Life in Technicolor, I don't count ii as the same song because LiT has part of the Jon Hopkins sample that comes back in The Escapist to tie the album together. LiT ii is a single in my mind. Always in My Head Square One Don't Panic MX/HLH AHFOD Worst Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prospekt46 489 Posted April 15, 2016 It's funny that some of these songs could be arranged differently if they were being assessed on their individual qualities but as album openers they fall into place another way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMDB9 4693 Posted April 15, 2016 I don't know how these things work You vote for the song you want to be eliminated...so I'm assuming thats a vote for AHFOD? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
