Nothing as it Seems vs Insignificance

predictable, and not the Dance v Stevie final it should have been. but both very good songs. pretty much tied for me. illl need to ponder my vote

Just like when I bought and listened to the single before the album came out, Insignificance is the no-brainer, here.

NAIS is great, and yet this isn't close for me.

I’m annoyed NAIS beat SOH but it’s still way better than Insignificance. Easy vote.

Insignificance.

Insignificance.

“Finish him!”

Both songs advance to the quarter finals regardless

Putting NAIS through a slow death seems cruel.

I don't know how to decide this. Two of their best MC songs, let alone out of all their albums.

If I'm in the mood for something with atmosphere, a moody darkness then NAIS is perfect, Mike taking all his classic rock, blues and shredding experience and transmuting into perfect leads, add in weird yet evocative lyrics and that fantastic bridge and it's just an incredible song.

On the other hand, if I want something with higher energy that's both a lament for those who suffer during war as well as a call to stopping that insanity, you've got Insignificance. The riff feels a bit more complicated than other Eddie penned tunes (it's not really) yet somehow simple on the ears. Relative to other songs Eddie's written, Insignificance's riff feels like an orchestra piece. Regardless, it rocks, with yet another fantastic bridge and an abrupt ending that fits the theme.

This whole tournament flew by, as it's at the MC Finals and I thought I'd participate more than I have.

I just don't know.

Except that they're both examples of how great an album Binaural is.

Insignificance wins 16-14.
