Really?  3 out of 4 deserve to be here.  I love TWTHS, but my god how did this back in.

Steam, Dondante.  Lay Low should have been the 4th.

Lay Low was robbed.  TWTHS isn't even in the top 10 for me.

Lay Low 29 - The Dark 4
Lay Low 26 - Gideon 10
Lay Low 25 - O is the One 10
Lay Low 29 - Lowdown 9
Steam Engine 27 - Lay Low 8

The Way that he Sings 30 - Circuital 2
The Way That He Sings 25 - If All Else Fails 6
The Way That He Sings 27 - TMIGS II 5
The Way That He Sings 29 - I Will Be There When You Die 7
The Way That He Sings 19 - The Bear 18

Lay Low had an extremely tough run through the bracket. Great showing from lay low regardless of losing to the steam

1. Steam Engine

2. TWTHS

I'm surprised that TWTHS beat TMIGTS Pt 2 so easily though.  The mind boggles.

Yeah, I was kinda surprised about that too.

[Shug]

Steam Engine  drips emotion, speaks of mysteries and is an epic jam, winner!
The Way That He Sings this song really is fantastic to me.  But I'm really into catchy riffs and melodies, I just dig classic pop songcraft and this one has that in spades, I love it!

I also think Lay Low belongs in the final four, at least.  I'd not disagree if it ended up #1.

Yeah, I was kinda surprised about that too.

Ditto,  but looking back at the last Bracket Attack, TWTHS made a strong showing there too, getting to the final 8 and also being the highest placing song from AD. 

Obviously, Steam, OBH, and Dondante will always be in the the top 3 and most likely in that order.

We need a round robin tournament with TWTHS, PWW, TMIGTS Pt 2, Lay Low to see who is the true #4 song is.

Based upon the exit polls, it appears that we can declare winners for the semifinals...

Projected winners
Steam Engine
Dondante

Just as Nate Silver had projected... Wait.... Wait... This just in...

Karl Rove has stated that Ohio may swing to OBH and TWHS... 

He states there is an late counting of votes from Quaid and Cash counties... They tend to vote heavily Pre-Z.

We need to hear from the head of Elections, Ruckus to sort this out.

Good stuff here.  I'll never tire of re-living the schadenfreude of that night...

Did we take a month break on this?

Steam Engine- it feels so anticlimactic to type this.
