Dance of the Clairvoyants vs. Sleight of Hand

this is an interesting match. Two songs about the experience of being totally alienated by modern life. But SoH surrenders to it, and Dance pushes through.

Easy vote for Dance. SoH never did much for me, even at the peak of my Binaural love (which I once had as high as like 3 in my rankings).

two of the most overrated songs in the bands catalogue. The first because it was the first good thing they put out in over a decade and fans put it on a pedestal. The second because … well … I have no idea why.

Yikes... two 5 star, top tier songs. This is tough. Part of me wants to see Dance win just to have something fresh go further in the tournament. But, if I'm being totally honest with myself, it's Sleight of Hand. That song is a top 5 in the catalog, I think. As much as it hurts... gotta go Sleight.

The good news is, I'll be happy no matter which wins!

Why not sad because one of them has to lose?

this is a matchup where, if it needs a tiebreaker vote change, i’d have no problem switching my vote.

SoH. The way it totally engulfs the listener is second to none.

Both of these are such good songs that each sit within a unique space in the band's catalogue.

That said, it's Sleight of Hand.
