Apologies for the inconsistent voting; work keeps me busy. Will try to vote every round as that's only fair (and the point of these things lol). Anyways, this might be the strongest round thus far!! The Chain Gang of 1974 - “Fall Into Me” (American Idiot, #2) vs. Boston Marriage - “Idols” (wheatsquares33, #5) Really quite loved both of these; "Fall Into Me" was just a little more immediateMac Ayres - “Nothing Else” (stallie, #2) vs. Bob Moses - “The Blame” (Tom, #5) "The Blame" sounds like something I'd have on my personal chart, maybe that's why it's likely gonna be there soon now lolDawn Richard - “Bussifame” (Shooter, #2) vs. K-391 & RØRY - “Aurora” (Keatonzab, #5) "Aurora" was nice but the vocals were a bit grating to me; "Bussifame" is a BOP tho!!!Senses - “I Don't Wanna Change” (Tanooki, #2) vs. Kalie Shorr - “Escape” (bboat11, #5) "I Don't Wanna Change" was nice but "Escape" was also great. Us Tractors gotta stick together!! Taylor Swift - “tolerate it” (Tay, #2) vs. UNKLE - “Farewell (Amtrac Remix)” (Trilogy, #5) trilogy apologies lmao; but what a great pick!!! I actually loved it and it also sounds like something that would do well on my personal chart so guess what lol!! But I have to vote for my pick obviously and besides...the entire last third of the song including I made you my temple, my mural, my sky/Now I'm begging for footnotes in the story of your life is poetry that has Dickinson shakingArlo Parks - “Hurt” (wamdjones, #2) vs. Grimes - “Delete Forever” (1^∞, #5) "Delete Forever" had some nice vibes to it; "Hurt" was also very decent!!Ichiko Aoba - “Dawn In The Adan” (Sambalada, #2) vs. Spiritbox - “Constance” (lyhom, #5) I actually REALLY liked "Constance" and it sounds like the token rock song that I'd have on my personal chart if there was room! Sambalada is it crack? Is that what Ichibo puts in these songs? Where can I get some more plsTaylor Swift - “Love Story (Taylor's Version)” (GrinningLikeADevil, #2) vs. St. Vincent - “The Melting Of The Sun” (BB, #5) Something about TMOTS didn't vibe with me unfortunately, so I'll be the basic white gay and vote for the 13-year-old newborn song Library additions/future chart appearances: "Fall Into Me," "Idols," "The Blame," "Delete Forever," "Dawn In The Adan," "Constance"

The Chain Gang of 1974 - “Fall Into Me” (American Idiot, #2) vs. Boston Marriage - “Idols” (wheatsquares33, #5) ...this is an underrated band, i like everything i've heard from them...might have to chart this one
Mac Ayres - “Nothing Else” (stallie, #2) vs. Bob Moses - “The Blame” (Tom, #5) ...this song is best experienced on headphones!
Dawn Richard - “Bussifame” (Shooter, #2) vs. K-391 & RØRY - “Aurora” (Keatonzab, #5) ...close, but i'll go w/ the song that takes a bit more of a risk over the safe choice
Senses - “I Don't Wanna Change” (Tanooki, #2) vs. Kalie Shorr - “Escape” (bboat11, #5) ...another close one...i'm not a fan of country, but the instrumentation on Escape is actually pretty good...also it's the more memorable of the two
Taylor Swift - “tolerate it” (Tay, #2) vs. UNKLE - “Farewell (Amtrac Remix)” (Trilogy, #5) ...yet ANOTHER Taylor Swift song <SIGH>! ... but Farewell is another awesome headphone track!
Arlo Parks - “Hurt” (wamdjones, #2) vs. Grimes - “Delete Forever” (1^∞, #5) ...love Grimes, but this is a different sound for her, while not bad, it's not what i want from her...meanwhile, the more i listen to Arlo, the more i like her...& a Twin Peaks reference doesn't hurt either
Ichiko Aoba - “Dawn In The Adan” (Sambalada, #2) vs. Spiritbox - “Constance” (lyhom, #5) ...never heard of this ?band? until recently, but i like all of their stuff so far
Taylor Swift - “Love Story (Taylor's Version)” (GrinningLikeADevil, #2) vs. St. Vincent - “The Melting Of The Sun” (BB, #5) ...for all you complaining about Roosevelt songs (since apparently 2 = "so many"): why are there SO MANY versions of "Love Story"?!? (yes, i know, she owns the full rights to this version as opposed to the original which is owned by the record company)

The Chain Gang of 1974 - “Fall Into Me” (American Idiot, #2) (strong 7 to light 8) vs. Boston Marriage - “Idols” (wheatsquares33, #5) (decent to strong 8) Hm, I can't vote against myself here, but this one doesn't come very easy. This most recent Chain Gang album is stellar, every song I've heard from it has been really good, I feel like they've been on my charts nonstop for almost a year at this point. And hey if you like this song, MJ-12 by Heavenward, Chain Gang of 1974's grunge side project, narrowly missed my own list (I had it between that song and OMG, basically coin flipped for my #6), give it a listen.Mac Ayres - “Nothing Else” (stallie, #2) (strong 6 to light 7) vs. Bob Moses - “The Blame” (Tom, #5) (strong 6 to light 7) I like Nothing Else more than the other Mac Ayres song that was already in this tournament, iirc. Good production here. I've actually been charting the Lastlings remix of The Blame the last few months, I like it. And maybe it's just because that I'm more used to that version or because I often find Bob Moses too longwinded, but I prefer it. This is just too long for what it is. Think I'm actually going to give it to the first song here.Dawn Richard - “Bussifame” (Shooter, #2) (decent to strong 6) vs. K-391 & RØRY - “Aurora” (Keatonzab, #5) (decent to strong 7) Oh, uh, so *that's* how to pronounce the title of this song, ok. Kinda got my hopes up honestly, but even as the song is, it's a pretty cool listen. Good chorus and rapping. But uhh Aurora is very much in that realm of "nightcore-revival" that I've heard a few times in this tournament and kinda dig, so I give it to Aurora.Senses - “I Don't Wanna Change” (Tanooki, #2) (strong 7 to light 8) vs. Kalie Shorr - “Escape” (bboat11, #5) (light to decent 6) Ah more of the nightcore-y hyperpop/dance pop sound here. I liked Aurora enough to want to return to it, but I actually...kinda love this one after one listen. This I'm actually excited to come back to. Escape is a perfectly serviceable country pop song, I will not come back to it.Taylor Swift - “tolerate it” (Tay, #2) (light to decent 7) vs. UNKLE - “Farewell (Amtrac Remix)” (Trilogy, #5) (light to decent 7) Tolerate It is an evermore song. Farewell was good, I like the....chord progression? (I can't talk music theory, I think that's what I like). Great vibe to it, very cold and atmospheric and the vocal (sample?) works very well too. Does run a little too long, maybe I should give the original a listen, but this is a good discovery anyway.Arlo Parks - “Hurt” (wamdjones, #2) (decent to strong 6) vs. Grimes - “Delete Forever” (1^∞, #5) (decent to strong 8) Wow, 2 matchups this round where I actually know both songs, rare. Hurt is okay, but the song that initially left me unimpressed with Arlo Parks, Delete Forever is one of my favorite songs of 2020.Ichiko Aoba - “Dawn In The Adan” (Sambalada, #2) (decent to strong 8) vs. Spiritbox - “Constance” (lyhom, #5) (decent to strong 8) Hhhhh, I listened to Dawn in the Adan and was thinking, wow Windswept Eden is actually a lot better than I remember? And I was gonna say something about how I'm not much of an albums guy and that listening to these individual Ichiko Aoba songs make me appreciate their sound much better and I was gonna give it the vote but. Think Constance is the best discovery I've gotten in this tournament so far? This is great, this is the kinda song I'd submit into a tournament. So...I gotta give it to Constance here, but as long as Pilgrimage stays in through the next few rounds I'll be good.Taylor Swift - “Love Story (Taylor's Version)” (GrinningLikeADevil, #2) (decent to strong 7) vs. St. Vincent - “The Melting Of The Sun” (BB, #5) (decent to strong 6) I actually quite like this re-recording of Love Story, as well as the other singles I've heard from the new Fearless. I mean, I don't like them so much that I want to listen to 26 Taylor Swift songs in a row, but still, respectable endeavor and well-executed as well, far as I can tell. I like Melting of the Sun more than I did Pay Money to My Pain wait no that's a j-rock band Pay Your Way in Pain but. Idk, still don't love it really. I wanna say I can appreciate St. Vincent going in a 70s funk/glam direction for a project but...I haven't been sold on the actual sound of it at all yet.Best discoveries: Constance, I Don't Wanna Change, Aurora, Farewell

The Chain Gang of 1974 - “Fall Into Me” (American Idiot, #2) vs. Boston Marriage - “Idols” (wheatsquares33, #5) This matchup is one of those where two great songs are put against each other. The crescendo in "Fall With Me" is superb, with a powerful rendition of the chorus to cap things off. At the beginning the song pulls you in right away, it has a memorably ethereal sound, like The 1975 with more muscle. "Idols" is an indie banger, though, with a great female vocal (and slightly superior lyrics IMO), and the chorus is just as good as "Fall Into Me" if not better. I'm going to check out more by both bands, but for the sake of voting I give "Idols" a slight edge (give "Idols" more listens, it's not even at 10,000 streams on Spotify yet!).
Mac Ayres - “Nothing Else” (stallie, #2) vs. Bob Moses - “The Blame” (Tom, #5) "Nothing Else" was okay, but failed to distinguish itself versus Bob Moses' unique take on EDM, which I've always liked quite a bit.
Dawn Richard - “Bussifame” (Shooter, #2) vs. K-391 & RØRY - “Aurora” (Keatonzab, #5) Basically a repeat of the above lol.
Senses - “I Don't Wanna Change” (Tanooki, #2) vs. Kalie Shorr - “Escape” (bboat11, #5) "Escape" has excellent lyrics, I'm giving it a pass to the next round on those alone.
Taylor Swift - “tolerate it” (Tay, #2) vs. UNKLE - “Farewell (Amtrac Remix)” (Trilogy, #5) My pride won't let me send two Taylor Swift songs along lol.
Arlo Parks - “Hurt” (wamdjones, #2) vs. Grimes - “Delete Forever” (1^∞, #5) I'm not going to take the low hanging fruit with "Delete Forever" so I'm just going to say that Arlo Parks' unique combination of indie pop and neo-soul takes the win. "Hurt" is a great song, it has strong potential to be one of my favorite songs so far this year.
Ichiko Aoba - “Dawn In The Adan” (Sambalada, #2) vs. Spiritbox - “Constance” (lyhom, #5) It's difficult to describe Spiritbox. They're clearing playing metal but it's different from how most other bands are playing it. I guess "alternative metal" is the best description but it doesn't feel entirely accurate. One thing's for sure, they're damn good. Ichiko's song is pleasant but it doesn't hold my attention enough.
Taylor Swift - “Love Story (Taylor's Version)” (GrinningLikeADevil, #2) vs. St. Vincent - “The Melting Of The Sun” (BB, #5) This matchup is highway robbery. Even in re-recorded form (some of the magic is indeed lost compared to the original), this is by far my favorite Taylor Swift song pre-folklore. The song is a fairy tale with a happy ending, sappy as hell, and I eat this up for some reason. Even if it's a bit weird coming from an older Taylor (although she tries to replicate her younger self and almost pulls it off), it's still a classic, and that gorgeous violin still tugs at your heartstrings. St. Vincent can't keep up with that, though "The Melting of the Sun" is a pretty good 70's jam.

The Chain Gang of 1974 - “Fall Into Me” (American Idiot, #2) vs. Boston Marriage - “Idols” (wheatsquares33, #5) Both if these songs were really good but for now, I think I resonate more with Idols. Hard to explain why but I think I've heard the 80s synthpop sound from other bands dozens of times so I'm going with the band that while not reinventing the wheel, is offering a sound I haven't heard done to death,
Mac Ayres - “Nothing Else” (stallie, #2) vs. Bob Moses - “The Blame” (Tom, #5)
Dawn Richard - “Bussifame” (Shooter, #2) vs. K-391 & RØRY - “Aurora” (Keatonzab, #5) Decent house beats generic EDM
Senses - “I Don't Wanna Change” (Tanooki, #2) vs. Kalie Shorr - “Escape” (bboat11, #5) I listened to Kalie Shorr and even though I'm not a fan, this is one of the better songs on her album. Really excellent pop country.
Taylor Swift - “tolerate it” (Tay, #2) vs. UNKLE - “Farewell (Amtrac Remix)” (Trilogy, #5) Even though tolerate it is underrated and one of my favorites from evermore, I'm gonna go with the underdog with this one. I like the groove and atmosphere of UNKLE.
Arlo Parks - “Hurt” (wamdjones, #2) vs. Grimes - “Delete Forever” (1^∞, #5) It frustrates me that I like and respect Arlo Parks more than I actually enjoy her music. Not that it's bad, the lyrics are especially well-written and it is well composed. Maybe it's her vocals but something about the whole bedroom pop x jazz fusion also hasn't clicked with me yet. Gonna go with the safe pick of the song that was one my favorite songs list for last year.
Ichiko Aoba - “Dawn In The Adan” (Sambalada, #2) vs. Spiritbox - “Constance” (lyhom, #5) So I hear Spiritbox is a decent band but right now, all I'm hearing if what if Selena Gomez fronted an indie rock band.
Taylor Swift - “Love Story (Taylor's Version)” (GrinningLikeADevil, #2) vs. St. Vincent - “The Melting Of The Sun” (BB, #5) Even though I'm not wild on Melting as other St. Vincent stans are, I'll give it a vote for now since Love Story doesn't really change my lukewarm reception of the original, especially since Love Story isn't even the best song from Fearless.

The Chain Gang of 1974 - “Fall Into Me” (American Idiot, #2) vs. Boston Marriage - “Idols” (wheatsquares33, #5) "Fall Into Me" was really nice! Nice synthpop jam. "Idols" was really nice too, but "Fall Into Me" just caught my attention more.
Mac Ayres - “Nothing Else” (stallie, #2) vs. Bob Moses - “The Blame” (Tom, #5) "Nothing Else" was nice and chill but Bob Moses is good as always.
Dawn Richard - “Bussifame” (Shooter, #2) vs. K-391 & RØRY - “Aurora” (Keatonzab, #5) I read "Bussifame" as "Bussy Fame" not "Bust it for me" I'm screaming lol. It was a bop though + the beat and the outro were nice. I liked "Aurora" too but "Bussifame" had more aspects that I liked.
Senses - “I Don't Wanna Change” (Tanooki, #2) vs. Kalie Shorr - “Escape” (bboat11, #5) "I Don't Wanna Change" was decent, I guess it just wasn't for me... On the other hand, "Escape" is amazing. It was my #3 in recordyear's indie country RD which was full of great songs. The lyrics are just stunning.
Taylor Swift - “tolerate it” (Tay, #2) vs. UNKLE - “Farewell (Amtrac Remix)” (Trilogy, #5) I don't think I would "tolerate it" would be in my top picks from evermore (after all I did rank it near the bottom in the evermore RD) but after all it is an evermore track. I love it. I got some Bob Moses vibes from "Farewell" but it can't win against Taylor for me.
Arlo Parks - “Hurt” (wamdjones, #2) vs. Grimes - “Delete Forever” (1^∞, #5) "Hurt" wasn't among my favorites on Collapsed In Sunbeams but it's still good. I know "Delete Forever" isn't everyone's favorite but I do enjoy it quite a bit.
Ichiko Aoba - “Dawn In The Adan” (Sambalada, #2) vs. Spiritbox - “Constance” (lyhom, #5) I feel like I'm just repeating myself when it comes to Ichiko Aoba's songs but it's really pretty. "Constance" was nice too but again supporting the non-English song here~
Taylor Swift - “Love Story (Taylor's Version)” (GrinningLikeADevil, #2) vs. St. Vincent - “The Melting Of The Sun” (BB, #5) Idk how I feel about "Love Story" being here but also some of the Fearless songs are bops so I might submit them for STM? lol. But will I still vote for it? Yes I genuinely adore the song. "The Melting of the Sun" is great too, between this, "Pay Your Way In Pain", and having listened to Masseduction in full the other day and liking it, I'm excited for St. Vincent's new album.

The Chain Gang of 1974 - “Fall Into Me” (American Idiot, #2) vs. Boston Marriage - “Idols” (wheatsquares33, #5) Fall Into Me is solid. Remind me of the 1975 at times. I like the vocals of Idols slightly more though.
Mac Ayres - “Nothing Else” (stallie, #2) vs. Bob Moses - “The Blame” (Tom, #5) Both slightly better than the previous two songs in this set. I am surprised I am not annoyed at the piano loop in Nothing Else. Bob Moses may feel samey to me (at least judging from songs heard from these games), but I enjoy the mood setting.
Dawn Richard - “Bussifame” (Shooter, #2) vs. K-391 & RØRY - “Aurora” (Keatonzab, #5) That's a weird pronunciation of title for Bussifame. It feels like fashion walk show music, which is cool, except the outro which is too long for a bridge to the supposed next song in the album. The vocals and basic trap music in Aurora are bad.
Senses - “I Don't Wanna Change” (Tanooki, #2) vs. Kalie Shorr - “Escape” (bboat11, #5) I Don't Wanna Change is Grimes making trap music. I hope it doesn't happen though. I have talked about Escape in my personal rankdown already. Let's just say Kalie Shorr is at least a good lyricist.
Taylor Swift - “tolerate it” (Tay, #2) vs. UNKLE - “Farewell (Amtrac Remix)” (Trilogy, #5) I think it's a good try for Taylor Swift to use uncommon time signatures to give uneasy feeling, but it didn't pay much. Farewell is a bit too long, but 4:38 is such a nice moment. (There are 10 artists credited for this...wow.)
Arlo Parks - “Hurt” (wamdjones, #2) vs. Grimes - “Delete Forever” (1^∞, #5) Hurt, like most of other Arlo Parks songs, is fine. Still slightly surprised Grimes made a folk-adjacent song in Miss Anthropocene tbh. The melody is fine though. I'd vote for more ambitious song.
Ichiko Aoba - “Dawn In The Adan” (Sambalada, #2) vs. Spiritbox - “Constance” (lyhom, #5) Dawn In The Adan is weakest Ichiko Aoba song I have heard so far but it's still pretty gorgeous. Would like to vote for Constance as well. Is it just me or the vocal sounds like Carly Pearce? Pretty dense metal too.
Taylor Swift - “Love Story (Taylor's Version)” (GrinningLikeADevil, #2) vs. St. Vincent - “The Melting Of The Sun” (BB, #5) Love Story is still a very catchy country pop song, but I wished only From The Vault songs are allowed. I am somewhat disappointed in instant grats from St. Vincent's album. (But I don"t really like instant grat songs except for Los Ageless from Masseduction and I end up liking album tracks a lot more so who knows?) The Melting of the Sun, while a good retro song, is a bit too reserved in album version. If SNL version is considered, this would be more decisive.

The Chain Gang of 1974 - “Fall Into Me” (American Idiot, #2) vs. Boston Marriage - “Idols” (wheatsquares33, #5) - Great synths in “Fall Into Me”, love the vibe of the song.”Idols” is also pretty solid! Didn’t stick with me *as* much as “Fall” though it is still nice.
Mac Ayres - “Nothing Else” (stallie, #2) vs. Bob Moses - “The Blame” (Tom, #5) - It’s hard for me to vote against Mac Ayres, he’s got all the vibes! “The Blame” has a cool vibe, though not sure if I like it as much as Bob’s other songs.
Dawn Richard - “Bussifame” (Shooter, #2) vs. K-391 & RØRY - “Aurora” (Keatonzab, #5) - I’ll admit I wasn’t sure what to expect with “Bussifame, but this was a really nice discovery! Love the production especially. “Aurora” is pretty catchy tbh! Definitely a fun song.
Senses - “I Don't Wanna Change” (Tanooki, #2) vs. Kalie Shorr - “Escape” (bboat11, #5) - Both of these are solid, though I think I’m feeling “Escape” just a bit more.
Taylor Swift - “tolerate it” (Tay, #2) vs. UNKLE - “Farewell (Amtrac Remix)” (Trilogy, #5) - Love the chill vibes of both of these. “tolerate it” is in my top half on Evermore, I appreciate the song quite a bit. I’m going to give my vote to the discovery here as I’m really vibing with “Farewell”.
Arlo Parks - “Hurt” (wamdjones, #2) vs. Grimes - “Delete Forever” (1^∞, #5) - I’m so conflicted on this one. Arlo just continues to impress with every song I hear from her. “Delete Forever” isn’t exactly my favorite Grimes song, but it is still really nice.
Ichiko Aoba - “Dawn In The Adan” (Sambalada, #2) vs. Spiritbox - “Constance” (lyhom, #5) - I believe in Ichiko Aoba supremacy. (Ok but actually “Constance” is really cool too, love the guitarwork especially).
Taylor Swift - “Love Story (Taylor's Version)” (GrinningLikeADevil, #2) vs. St. Vincent - “The Melting Of The Sun” (BB, #5) - Taylor’s version of Love Story does a nice job of staying similar to the original, but still adding her own flare to it. “The Melting Of The Sun” is amazing though, St. Vincent is one of my favorite artists. Stays true to her sound, though it still feels different from what I’m used to from her.
