It's Rough on Rats - Jack White

What a jam. No Name felt like a callback to The White Stripes groove, and few (if any) songs exemplify it better than It's Rough on Rats. How it's the lowest rated song on the album is a complete mystery to me. It gets my nod.

Never mind what I asked in my previous message here. I figured it out, but I do have another question. Can EP releases be added to our charts or is it only full albums that are allowed?

God bless you always!!!

Holly

Any release that is at least 5 tracks longs or at least 20 minutes long can be added, whether it's an album, an EP, or something else.

Thank you. Mason has four EPs and they have five and six songs, but as of right now, I don't know how long each EP is.

God bless you and him always!!!

Holly

You don't need to know how long they are in that case; if they have 5 or more songs, they're eligible no matter what.

I'm an album lover so first my favorite tracks from my two favorite albums of the year:

The Golden Halo from The Cloud Nothings from the album Final Summer
This is a live performance of the song on a KEXP show:

Hangman from Wand from the album Vertigo:

Link

And then maybe a bit more familiar for most people:

Bending Hectic from The Smile from the album Wall Of Eyes:

Link

As I learn we can still swap could I put these four in the following order (so my new one goes the first):
1. Chrome Mess by The Hard Quartet
2. Bending Hectic by The Smile
3. Hangman by Wand
4. and if you need one more: The Gold Halo by Cloud Nothings

Alright, y'all got another day to get your votes in for the play-ins. And while I shouldn't be doing this at this stage, if anybody wants to do a last minute song swap before we get the proper tournament rolling, go ahead and just say so in this thread or otherwise i'll get the brackets organized by tomorrow.

Thank you Cestuneblague

t's great you're organising this and I hope some people help you out.

I'm quite unorganised and I suspect I'd be more of a hindrance than a help in this endeavour.

And again if anybody is willing I'm actually asking for a co-captain or even two to help make sure the matches run/close on time, if you're interested just post here or shoot me a PM.

If we're doing 4ths

Espresso - Sabrina Carpenter

Most people here are probably sick to death of it but it's such a bop, Espresso deserves a nomination imo.

I might be in the bubblegum-pop-adverse-BEA minority, but I agree. What a bop.

Well thank you kindly everybody, we actually have gone a couple songs over so we will actually get the ball rolling and have a brief play-in, again Early-Bird and all so the last four songs will be in the play-in matches.

Hell yeah from me too. These two would've been in my top 10, probably (although Big Thief's version of Vampire Empire >>)
