“Death Or Glory” is flat, by the numbers, and kind of boring by comparison. Especially the chorus. It‘s one of the songs I’m most likely to skip on that album.
WTRRD is much more interesting rhythmically and dynamically, IMO.

Yeah, but at least Dream of Mirrors was recorded in Bruce's prime and still a lower melody than River. Also, half as long. Also, the vocal is integral to the power of the opening, whereas Bruce sounds like he's just smushing words on top of cool riff in River.

'Til Tomorrow
“Mother Of Mercy” is easily the worst post-reunion song, IMO. That cut & paste chorus is unforgivable.

Shadows, Tears, TFF, El Dorado, Mother of Mercy and Coming Home. I am very not final in this and will probably change a lot in the next round...

I agree, but everything from that photoshopped last chorus to the end of the song is so terrible. I'd add this outro to the list of moments where Bruce really didn't need to sing.

Disagree about the outro. His vocals work very well for dramatics there.

Songs I only heard after the game began:
Shadows Of The Valley
Tears Of A Clown
The Man Of Sorrows
Coming Home
The Alchemist
Isle Of Avalon
Starblind
The Talisman
The Man Who Would Be King
Where The Wild Wind Blows
I don't know how I never listened to so much of The Final Frontier before! Now I see why people were voting for Satellite 15 – it's good, but the rest of the album blows it out of the water.

Eliminated after Round 1:

The Man Who Would Be King - 16
Voted for If Eternity Should Fail, The Great Unknown, The Red & The Black, Satellite 15...The Final Frontier, El Dorado and The Alchemist.
And all deserved to die.
The Great Unknown - it's fine, but nothing special.
The Red & the Black - I'm glad it made it through the first round, and while it has some great instrumentals, the actual lyrics are not very good.
Shadows of the Valley - yawn, one of the more fillery-filler pieces since Powerslave.
Satellite 15.... The Final Frontier - I would not vote for the second half if it wasn't keyed to the first.
Where The Wild Wind Blows - Possibly the worst Steve epic.
