Round 3 was a little weird as the move to the Weakest Link forum saw voting dip. Sean has graciously offered to move them when the polls finish so we will move back to the main forum.
Eliminated Round 1:
Lionized
The Wherewithal
We'll Go Too
Eliminated Round 2:
Eldorado
Eliminated Round 3:
Fifty Mission Cap
Looking for a Place to Happen
Wheat Kings
As before, vote for the song you believe to be the weakest on Fully Completely and after 48 hours, we will remove the two songs that have the most votes. As before, a song must have at least 10% of the vote in order to be removed otherwise it will carry forward into the following round.
Voting will end Friday at 11:14am Eastern.
Happy voting!
Shane

To this point I have to say I'm happy with the results as those are my five favourite songs on the album.
Courage is a top three Hip song for me, so no go there. And Fully Completely and Pigeon Camera are my clear second favourites on the album.
So, process of elimination came down to Meridian VS Locked. Went with Meridian just because I find the guitars less interesting. Johnny's work on Locked is pretty great (although the high hat is recorded a bit thin) and Lemme Ouuuut seals it. My only complaint with Locked is the fade out on the guitar solo...it's a weird way to end the song.
My vote went to The Hundredth Meridian, where the great plains begin.

Meridian for me.
Its a different beast live but as album track its the weakest of the bunch.
more a credit to the rest of the songs as opposed to a knock on it, because it is still flat out righteous.

With whats left, its a toss up for me between Meridian and Pigeon Camera, went with Meridian. Such a tough choice though, every vote I feel dirtier and dirtier....

Little surprised at so many comments on Meridian. For me, it's still my fave on the album.
Never been overly enamored with Fully Completely, so this is a pretty easy choice for me.

This is like picking my favourite cat.
Pigeon Camera is in my top 3, so I hope it lasts.

Saddened to see Fully Completely with so many votes. It's such a beast of a song -- Paul's sluggish plodding chords, Gord S's stoic and prominent bass, Gord D's poetic and lyrical ode to the "les filles du roi," and Rob's dreamy sounding guitar colouring it all in. Then Johnny picks up the tempo around the 2 minute mark...and blasts the whole thing into the stratosphere. As I said, a beast. There are songs on this album that I've grown tired of hearing, but this is not one. Always a treat to hear...and always a live favourite of mine.

Fully Completely is my favourite album and locked is my favourite song, so this voting tally so far makes me happy, but...pigeon camera is not #2. It's just...not.

At the Hundredth Meridian ... it's a great song. but just was never my thing. the song is massive live. but not as massive as Fully live. I absolutely love when they play Fully live.
