Ten has an easy round 1, but this gets very difficult almost immediate afterwards


Vote to eliminate Master/Slave - a nice mood piece but not a real song on an album stacked with great ones

Garden - I've always felt they are reaching for something with this they don't quote. I think the quiet/loud dynamic doesn't fully work. The chorus goes for rafter shaking catharsis when it should remain introspective

Deep - for all its crashing intensity, it's just outclassed by the ridiculous quality of the rest of Ten. Loved getting it at Camden last year. Still kills

To head off questions - Release is not here because it won last year's March Madness and has a bye to the Winners Tournament
