Thank you <3 your sacrifice has gone to a good cause.
rubie
Hearts/Wires OBVIOUSLY
I voted Rubicon for the simple reason I like H/W's lyrics better.

But they don't even say how to face the crowd.
I don't understand how people keep complaining the album isn't heavy enough and then proceed to vote off all of the heaviest songs....I don't have this problem with the album personally, but It makes you people seem a little nutty to me.
personally, I do prefer the heavier side of deftones if i must choose, but i fancy a good mellow song over a weak heavy song anytime of the day. for instance,hw is way better than the song gore - it's not all about heaviness vs softness. also, the album gore is pretty good regardless
Voted for Hearts/Wires : so so so so so overrated.

Personally i strongly agree and believe this is one of their stongest albums as of late.....just confused by that being the main complaint I've heard about this album and then people vote in an entirely different manner.

I do agree with this though...besides the intro..the song itself it isn't the best on the album by a long shot. Out of the two Rubicon should be the winner.
Both songs are horribly overrated. This poll lost me when AH got knocked out. Neither of these songs deserves anything.
I like Hearts/Wires but my 2nd favourite was eliminated in the last round. Rubicon is my favourite.

Rubicon overrated?
IMO the two overrated songs are H/W and PB, everyone's talking about them and Cantrell's solo on Bride which actually screwed the song completely.
Rubicon is the best song of the Sergio era. Let's be real here.. They all come together on this one. And steph hits me like he used to back in the day.
I think they really gather everything together on Rubicon. The intro that makes it sounds like it's going to be more epic sounding song, then the immediate shift in tone with the tenser sounding verse, then the way it opens up with the chorus and that lead guitar line and then it gets even bigger as it goes on. Fucking love it.
Acid is gone... Rubicon all the way...
Neither of these songs are that great.
Now that H/W has 17 votes and Rubicon has 18, would it be fair if I switch the options so that H/W had 18 votes and Rubicon had 17? Because I accidentally voted for Rubicon instead of H/W.
would it be fair if i squirted steamy hot cum down your throat?

ha I know I know I am lame. I actually really didn't like Rubicon at first, but it kind of grew on me. It kind of reminds me of a slightly better goon squad. Anybody else feel that way?
no
Hearts/Wires is not the best song on this album. I know it doesnt really matter, but this poll is so wrong.

It's my favourite on the album. Seems a lot of people feel the same way. Rubicon is a close second for me too. With the exception of Acid Hologram sticking around so long, this poll worked out pretty closely to how I feel about the album.
Voting for Rubicon, it grew on me a lot and I get why people like it. I just think if I had to choose one of these songs to introduce Deftones to someone I would never pick Rubicon. H/W is just more representative of what Deftones does. Both of these songs are a bit overrated though and I wish H/W had a more expanded ending.
Both are great songs, but I'm voting for Rubicon for two reasons:
- Hearts/Wires has the better structure. As Rubicon goes on, it feels like it keeps repeating itself.
- I identify with the lyrics of H/W more.
The lyrics from H/W are definitely more compelling. I especially liked the line "no vision or dreams about you came true for me" because it reminds me of how DE and KNY both had these strong dream themes. "You arrive in my dreams beside me every night" etc. it feels like he's realizing that they're just dreams and some pessimism is coming out towards the whole mystique of the dream world he created.

This is kind of my thinking. None of my friends really listen to Deftones so if I were to play a song off the new album to them it would be H/W.

I don't think this poll really determines peoples' favorite song, so much as it determines the least disliked song. They're not exactly the same thing.
A true direct poll would be better for determining the average favorite song.

no
Boy is my face red hahaha. I meant the lyrics not the actual songs sound.
Can't we just skip all the rest of the albums since most have been done already and do a discography elimination? Yeah, chances are WP will win, but I'd like to see what falls 1-7.
ohhhhh thats a great idea
Oh, man. I just tied everything up. 28/28. I was hoping for Acid Hologram, but I guess Hearts/Wires is fine with me.
Fuck you!
Voted H/W.
30 to 30?

This brawl's unstoppable J.R.
looks like h/w is gonna come in 2nd. i definitely think it's the best on the album. in fact, i'd listen to arguments that it's the best song they've made since WP. it starts out with a freakin Stephen guitar solo for starters(a small solo, but a solo it is indeed. the most traditional guitar solo on any deftones album, since they can't take credit for Jerry's solo. goon squad has a weird one, but this one is a more typical solo. big suprise because i was sure the Cantrell solo would be the only one on the album) then it doesn't hit the full wall of sound until 2:40, so it takes it's time. dark themed, like Stephen got the silence of the lambs buffalo bill idea in his mind about it, & it freaked him out. i kinda see it as something like that, trapping an ex in someplace, with barbwire, locks, etc, & she's gotta either find a way out, or she's dead. i dunno, it's really well writen too, just a phenomenal song
when people stop voting for the songs they want and instead just try to keep the poll tied for eternity
33/33
What will we do if they have the same number of votes when the poll closes?

we'll have to hang ourselves, so says the rule book
It's interesting to vote cause it's more than likely most people's favorite songs on the record are gone by now. That being said I'm voting rubicon out
Voted out Rubicon. My order:
Geometric Headdress
Acid Hologram
Hearts/Wires
Prayers/Triangles
Gore
(L)MIRL
Rubicon
Doomed User
Xenon
Phantom Bride
PI
Tougher than I thought..
It's finally not tied, I honestly expected Rubicon would win.
I expected this to not even really be close. To me Rubicon is by far the best on the record. I also think LMIRL smokes Hearts Wires.
39/39
the poll closes in 3 hours
Wow has this ever happened? If one of them wins by one it seems kind of shitty.
So, the poll just closed and none of the songs won.
We have to make a second final round
Sock puppet account cheaters.
H/W won, but they couldn't handle it, so they made new accounts in order to vote more.
They didn't want to make it obvious, so they left it a tie.
Shameful.

No, the people that are using multiple accounts are taking it too serious. I am just pointing it out.
