A coma stole my name.
Yeah, I'll vote for Mekong Delta again. I don't plan on voting for Porcupine Tree again after everyone told me to listen to this one song sound of theirs and there was this acoustic guitar happy-go-lucky breakdown complete with clapping in it and it was awful. I mean I laughed at how bad it was. Think the song had 'Train' in the title.

Pentagram - I was sure we're back to the crap toaster black metal. Meh and I don't like the low quality production either. Gojira is good.
Opeth - as much as I like Opeth, this one is not as strong as the later releases. There are some fantastic songs here (April Ethereal, When...), but they're not on the level of the other, better highlights (like Ghost of Perdition and Deliverance).
So just because I don't really care for this relatively weaker Opeth losing, and because Surfing is really fucking good, I'm going with Satriani. I might vote for Opeth any other day though.
Fight - didn't really care for this. It was even a bit annoying to be honest, even though I like Halford. Not the day for this, I guess... I really want Tales gone (both albums), but I'll sadly vote for BG.
Tiamat - very likeable, seriously reminds me of Mastodon. I guess I didn't hear too much of this style other than Mastodon. Cool album, gets the vote.

I hope Faith No More comes up against the worst Iron Maiden album and loses. Many albums can beat it, but that would be funny.

Well, Virtual XI is still in the game for the moment, so you never know...

I’d say that was the universe making a statement about Maiden’s worst album.

I'd vote for Killers against TRT but not VXI.
Do you want the full spoilers for who is up in the FNM stream? There's no Iron Maiden.

Please no. Or at least spoiler tags.
I don't even look at the previews of the next round #nerd
Sure, if there's a demand we can put it in spoiler tags.

Gojira defeats Pentagram, and that's it for the Americans. We'll see how Gojira does against Canadians next, with Annihalator.
Opeth falls short against Joe Satriani, and Opeth is still around all over the place.
Blind Guardian beats Fight, knocking the band out of the GMAC. It'll be Scorpions next.
And last, Faith No More beats Tiamat, sadly. It'll be FNM vs. GNR next.
