different numbers of songs - since I am trying to keep things paced so that finals gappen at same time it means early rounds have some differentiation

i get why ATW has so many votes. The chorus does fall a little flat and recalls past glories in a way that doesnt flatter, but i love those verses so much

The chorus limping in on ATW is one of the most disappointing moments in the catalogue.

I can't believe Unthought Known is still in this.

Speed of Sound, Amongst the Waves, and Gonna See My Friend are eliminated.

GSMF is the most underrated opener in PJ's catalog

Got Some and Unthought Known - Unthought Known has some incredible moments but it plateaus without the sense of constant build of a song like Lightning Bolt, which is the song this wants to be. Got Some and Johnny Guitar are close. Like them both, but JG is trying something newish for them, and gets my vote. Love Got Some's music, but it's one of Eddie's weaker lyrics and performances

I somehow concur with Stip on song choice. However UK I believe is more successful than LB even though it falls short of what it intends (if I could truly know that).

Closing this out early: The Fixer and Force of Nature are eliminated because RM is terrible.

The best songs are out :( Voting to eliminate Unthought Known, which has the highest peaks of these three songs, but Johnny Guitar and Got Some are better front to back listens

I’ve had it out for Johnny Guitar - I have tried to vote it off the island every round.
