[Mosh]

This last pair... look at the score.

I know..6 votes too many for Blaze.

 

[Night Prowler]

I know..6 votes too many for Blaze.

 

[Forostar]

I am especially in awe because we're talking about Blaze's most Maidenish song (and one of his very best). Excellent performance as well.

The song that should win the whole game. A Change of Seasons.

 

[RTC]

Damien is alright, but that middle bit is unbelievably pretentious.

 

[SixesAlltheway]

Dante
Sabbath
Forty Six
Creeping Death
Lateralus
Seasons

 

[Mosh]

Damien is alright, but that middle bit is unbelievably pretentious.

Never thought I'd see an Iced Earth song labeled as pretentious. For me they're anything but.

 

[Forostar]

That middle bit makes the song so much stronger. Love the tension there.

 

[Ariana]

Stare at the Sun and Damien losing.

 

[Mosh]

I hated to vote against Damien, that's one of my favorite songs. But Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is god tier.

Will be really interesting if Stare At the Sun gets eliminated in its first round.

 

[Brigantium]

Dante, Damien, Forty-Six, Metropolis, Silicon, Stranger

 

[Forostar]

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath starts cool, but after a couple of minutes I have heard most of it. The end is not that enthralling either.

 

[SixesAlltheway]

Because Bruce says so.

 

[RTC]

Never thought I'd see an Iced Earth song labeled as pretentious. For me they're anything but.

Overall they aren't, so that part really gets on my nerves as a result.

 

[Mosh]

What do you find pretentious about that part?

 

[RTC]

Kind of a mixture of the lyrics and the way they're stated. It's trying extremely hard to be poignant and thought provoking, when it's really not.
