I guess it's either you hate or love 99%.

[rebellious_L]

I guess it's either you hate or love 99%.

 

I don't hate it, I just don't think that it is as high quality as the other songs in this list. I loved it at first, probably my favourite from Hospital Music. Over time it sorta lost its lustre and now I think of it as just an average song (relative to the Matt Good catalogue).

 

I just wrote some huge thing and deleted it in the spirit of avoiding my essay, and in the process I have decided that I have to fix a problem that I created by excluding round 4 losers from any chance of getting voted back into round 5. The way it currently stands, Apparitions is set to be in the top 10, while Born to Kill, the song that originally eliminated it from the competition, will finish amongst this bottom half of the top 20. To correct this, the song that receives the most points in this round (as it stands that is Prime Time Deliverance) will go against Apparitions in a single battle round starting this Thursday. If Apparitions defeats PTD, then it rightfully deserves the spot, and if PTD wins it makes up for the unsatisfactory way in which it was eliminated (which was in a tie). Also, for the top 10 I would like to have a better tie-breaking procedure than the one currently used so if anyone has any ideas that would be great (currently the last vote is canceled so that the song that initially had the highest number of votes gets the win).

 

Anyways... back to my homework.
