2023 March Madness Survivor: Gigaton Finals

[stip]

Round 5 - choose 1 songs to ELIMINATE. Voting open until 8pm EST 3/19

[stip]

This is probably my only easy round, with the caveat that I like 3 of these 4 songs, and even Take the Long Way is a perfectly fine lowpoint

Take the Long Way
Never Destination
Retrograde
Alright

[JuanHamm]

This is actually one of the hardest albums for me. It's a very consistent album.

Never Destination for sure. I'll have to think about the rest.

[LetMeSleep]

SBWM
Never Destination
Comes The Goes
River Cross

Who Ever Said is damn lucky to survive. Ed is the weakest link songwriting wise for me.

[bada]

I don't know this album well enough half the songs I don't remember what they sound like. Abstain.

[Anders]

Retrograde, River Cross, Alright, Comes Then Goes

[Mike]

QE
Alright
Retrograde
7 O Clock

[Anders]

Buckle Up is a serious candidate for the best song on the album. Of the songs with 9-10 votes currently, it’s by far the best.

[stip]

i prefer river cross but it is great

[Farmer John]

River Cross
Retrograde
Superblood Wolfmoon
Who Ever Said

[Jorge]

I don't know this album well enough half the songs I don't remember what they sound like. Abstain.

Some sound like The Who. Some sound like Bruce Springsteen. One sounds a lot like Talking Heads

[Coach]

This is a very top heavy album, most of the songs eliminated are on the back end for me.

[Jaeti]

I don't know this album well enough half the songs I don't remember what they sound like. Abstain.

Some sound like The Who. Some sound like Bruce Springsteen. One sounds a lot like Talking Heads

And they're all good-to-great-to-spectacular.

[Leatherhead]

I don't know this album well enough half the songs I don't remember what they sound like. Abstain.

Some sound like The Who. Some sound like Bruce Springsteen. One sounds a lot like Talking Heads

Somebody show me a Talking Heads song that actually sounds a lot like DOTC.

I think it's not necessarily the song that sounds like Talking Heads. It's more the inflection Ed uses when singing some parts of DOTC that are David Byrne-esque.

[Jorge]

It's like a Weird Al, "Dare to Be Stupid" thing. A stylistic pastiche

[Anders]

Speaking In Tongues-era Talking Heads. Both the groove and Ed’s performance. Not sure which song is most similar.

[tragabigzanda]

The vocal round at the end is lifted right out of Born Under Punches, while Mike’s guitar seems to be inspired by the guitar on America Is Waiting (admittedly from a Byrne/Eno side project)
