This is an easy round. Never Destination and Take the Long Way are minor songs. 7 Oclock is really good, and I love the ambition and the Springsteenesque verses, but the chorus never quite comes together. It's fine on its own, but this does feel like a Frankensong a little bit, and the ones that remain are all a bit better

the first 4 songs on this album are untouchable. i like 'comes than goes' more than the rest of the back half. easy votes here

God I love this chorus. If the past three years are any indication, there's no phrase I'll sing more for the rest of my life than "Floodlight dreams go drifting past..."

It probably pops into my head at least once a day.

Never Destination and Take the Long Way are the easy votes. I'm reluctantly also voting out SBWF, despite its greatness.

You don’t have to you know

SBWF is one of the lesser songs on the album. A bit annoying.

Tracks 1–4, Seven O'Clock, and Comes Then Goes might all be 5-star songs for me. If SBWF was currently on the bubble, I might vote for CTG instead.

You don’t have to vote for 3.

this may be the easiest vote of the entire tournament

never destination
take the long way
comes then goes (such a terribly boring slog)

Closing this early. Never Destination, Take the Long Way, and Comes Than Goes are eliminated. I thought CTG would have lasted a little longer

Quick Escape and 7'Oclock, though QE is the best of these live and all are great.
