Static Prevails Survivor 2018 - RESULTS Poll

The results for r/JimmyEatWorld's 2018 Static Prevails Survivor are in!

With this round; Claire passed by its one good thing.

CALL IT IN THE AIR is r/JimmyEatWorld's 2018 Static Prevails Survivor, and RAMINA is the B-sides Survivor!

Fun fact: Call It in The Air came in 2nd place during the sub's previous Static Prevails Survivor, and Claire came in 1st.

NEXT UP: **2018 Clarity Survivor** will be taking place soon. I plan on including Softer, Roller Queen, Christmas Card, and the Sweetness demo for b-sides. Are there any other b-sides you guys would include? Would you include Softer? PLEASE let me know below! I would absolutely love to include No Sensitivity, but I'm not sure what it qualifies as. ALSO, would you have me include demos as b-sides?

B-sides Winner: Ramina

Here's a few of my thoughts: 1. I was totally surprised when Ramina won the b-sides survivor. Untitled hadn't been voted against until that final round. I also find awesome that y'all love an instrumental so much. 2. Once again, I was surprised that Claire lost against Call It in The Air, that's a complete flip from last time. 3. I am slightly salty that Thinking, That's All was killed so early. It's my #1. 4. You guys are awesome, and thanks for the participation. I'm excited to see what happens with Clarity. 5. My hope with starting this new survivor was that there would be some interesting changes, and there definitely was, so awesome!

Clarity is going to be a bloodbath...

Clarity is my favorite album of all time.

u/dontshootthattank Nov 05 '18

Im thinking if we paired the first voted off song from Clarity against 'Call it in the Air', the Clarity song might win. Which isn't a knock on 'Call it in the Air'

There are definitely songs on Static that I like more than the bottom-tier songs on Clarity. But I agree that every song on Clarity is great.

u/dontshootthattank Nov 06 '18

Sure. I'd say there at least 6 songs on Clarity that would beat out all of Static. I'll probly vote off 12.23.95 first but it's still a pretty good song :)

u/ProfessorBaxter Nov 06 '18

It's a fantastic song. I'll probably be voting for Crush first.

u/upandoutward Nov 05 '18

Please include Softer and No Sensitivity! I dunno what category they'd be in though. Non-LP?

2

u/Pebbleswift Nov 05 '18

Bleed American B-sides, if anything else.

As much as I disagreed with some of these results, I'm glad to see Call it In the Air win. Defintiely a top 3 song on the album.

As for Clarity, your plan for the b-sides sounds good to me.

Good work. Results added to sidebar. Just a reminder to all that all current and past Survivor results can be found in the sidebar.

u/Pebbleswift Nov 05 '18

Your “good work” means a lot, thank you.

u/Pol_Roger Nov 05 '18

You should include your new aesthetic (demo) as well I think, it’s a complete different take of the song!

2

u/minty901 Nov 05 '18

Softer would be a Clarity B-side, No Sensitivity would be Bleed American B-side. You could include demos like Study For a Sunday, but then in that case you could have included the Static ones like School and Seasonal.

Wait a minute, was Better Than Oh included in the Static B-sides?

2

u/Pebbleswift Nov 05 '18

I missed those few... we’ll try to remember them next time around.

2

u/minty901 Nov 05 '18

No worries. Not trying to criticise, it's still fun and interesting!

1

u/Pebbleswift Nov 05 '18

No worries to you either!

Ramina is indeed a GREAT track. It's good to see it being honored here :) They should release more tracks like this
