Yeah it maybe my favourite Ghost track
I hate If You Have Ghost.
There, I said it. OKish cover of a terrible song.

Looks like Satan's Eyes, Deus Culpa, and Idolatrine are going to be killed...
I can't get excited about their covers. They're not bad, but they don't bring much new to them.

I will also vote by later tonight.
The second album took a few listens but it’s starting to click. It’s definitely more adventurous than the first album, which goes a long way for me, but not everything works. I’d say the debut is more consistent as a whole, but the best moments on Infestissumam outshine most of the debut (I think Ritual is my favorite song in the game so far though). Gouleh is pretty incredible and I’m surprised it has votes. It has great atmosphere and dynamics.
One thing I really don’t like about Infestissumam is the production. It’s more polished sure but it’s also very loud and not in a good way. Very hot master and the sound is muddy.

I beg to differ. I think Infestissumam has the best production of all Ghost albums.

Yeah I was surprised too, definitely my favourite track on that album.
I've had Infestissumam in the car for the last few days. I'll stand by my votes, feel sorry for Monstrance Clock and Jigolo as they are good tracks and don't deserve votes but they aren't as good as the other tracks that I didn't vote for. But the other 3 I voted for Body and Blood, Idolatrine and Depth of Satan's Eyes aren't great.
I wasn't going to vote for the instrumentals/mood setting tracks as I think they all serve a purpose and achieve their aims. And Mantra Mori is great.

Well, it's certainly the loudest. I agree with @Mosh: in terms of sound quality, it is a distant fourth behind the other three albums.
So, when is the next round?

The poll is set to close in 7 hours, so probably tomorrow.So, when is the next round?

Elizabeth (I seriously don't understand how I'm the only one voting for this...)
Infestissumam (which is far better than the intro track on the debut, but still an intro track)
Depth of Satan's Eyes (easily the weakest album track)
La Mantra Mori (this song is literally the same thing over and over, what am I missing?)
The second album is honestly only marginally better than the first. I rate it one point higher (76/100 vs. 75/100). Both of these albums suffer from filler and disjointed production, be it for different reasons. I find the votes for Idolatrine very bizarre, I think it's one of Ghost's most unique and interesting tunes.

On one hand, it’s surprising. I figured with a major label behind them and a larger budget the sound would at least be more polished. Then again, I’m used to Raskulinecz making bad sounding albums for huge bands.Well, it's certainly the loudest. I agree with @Mosh: in terms of sound quality, it is a distant fourth behind the other three albums.

Maybe my favorite track on that album! At worst it's a close second behind Ritual. That's why this Survivor game should be interesting -- a wide variance on personal tastes for this band. There is no "Hallowed" that is guaranteed to win.
While we are at it, if I had projected which songs I thought would be the only ones without a single vote against, I very much doubt I would have predicted Genesis or Ad Aspera...
