The Mountain Goats got stomped like a snake

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard win a nailbiter 8-7

hehe - I love that - average fun per minute.

I basically use that as my rating scale, with my interpretation of that of course.

Anyway, I nearly nominated Inner Cell for this tourney, so happy vote for me to King Gizz as Crumbling Castle is another fine track off that math rock record.

Heel Turn 2 actually had less average fun per minute for me for sure. I felt really white listening to it.

Crumbling Castle is a really nice track, but not mind-blowing for most of its runtime. The more intense moments are cool. Heel Turn 2 gets off to a great start until the vocals drop out around 2:38. The rest is fine, but not best track material in the absence of Darnielle's lyricism. So ultimately a tough choice, as I'm not thrilled with either. I'll go with Heel Turn 2 narrowly because the average fun per minute is slightly higher.

Heel Turn 2 is great. Crumbling Castles is my favourite from Polygondwanaland and one of their highlights from 2017. King Gizz for me of course.

I would've voted for The Mountain Goats in most other matchups, but Crumbling Castle just too good. It was the first song I remembered right off the bat when we were talking about 2010s song tourney.

Given my musical tastes I should be a big fan of The Mountain Goats, but outside of "No Children" and "The Best Ever Death Metal Band in Denton" (which are both all time favorites) their songs are pleasant but not amazing. This one has some good lyrics, and I really like the outro, but it's also not amazing to me.

On the other hand Crumbling Castle is probably my favorite King Gizzard song so I went with that.
