I'll come back to write more later, but right now Setting Sun is the 'this is incredible' phase, and Upper Hand is still in discovery. Vote for setting sun

Right now I would probably vote Setting Sun over anything else in the past 20 years

These are currently my two favorite songs on the album... Fuck....

Going Upper Hand for now. Might change a few times though.

Seconded. I think it's still my favorite on Dark Matter. It's still 50/50 whether I tear up when I listen to it. I made the mistake (best kind) of listening to it on the plane. You know how something about high altitudes makes you very emotional? Yeah I think maybe I worried a few people.

I cannot fathom how anyone can not be moved by the second half of Setting Sun. I just can't.

This is not a fair matchup!

I think Upper Hand is my favourite on the album so far.

Truly the first time in the MM tournament I want to yell “tie”!

These songs are placed on the album so perfectly. Setting Sun is such a great closer to this fantastic album.

Setting Sun has the upper hand.

On the first few listens Upper Hand was the best song on the album. Been giving the album a rest for a couple of days now, to keep that fresh feeling. But I'm surprised Upper Hand isn't receiving more lov.

More like Upper Bland

Just kidding, I really like it. But not as much as Setting Sun, that's for sure.

Upper Hand; I mentioned in the other thread but it, along with Wreckage, are neck-and-neck for best song on the record.
