Monster and Hi-Fi dominating this tournament does not make me very happy

the real big test is seeing what's left next round, when there aren't really any songs that drew two easy matches in a row

I love both albums, but I definetely agree. Especially when there are so few songs left from Reckoning, Green, Fables and Up.

since I will not be able to put up matches tonight or tomorrow, and since we have most of our votes in and the closest matches are 3 off, I am ending this round a bit early and moving on.
