UM "You Pick 2" Tier List

Not that one vote matters, but I’ve only listened to like 2 studio songs and rely on my Nugs/Spotify experiences.

Pretty cool sounding name. I’ll give it an A.

Being “notey” just means its prog, man. That’s when UM is at their strength, their more progressive tunes are more often than not the better ones. When they say stuff like “trim the fat”, it just means simplifying their playing… just seems like they dumb down the effort in the name of making it “accessible”. Which is fine for a few songs but as we’ve said many times don’t abandon what got you to this point

I can’t believe there are so many B votes for Water. Honestly it’s insane that the vote profile for Water is almost identical to Wappy, which is such a boring song.

Water is super close to an A for me but it’s one of the handful of songs where I genuinely dislike the Bayliss vocals…I think it’s a cool composition but slightly disjointed…if it’s was purely instrumental it’d be an A for sure

Yeah I’m trying to imagine “studio” perfected versions of the compositions with no ad-libs

Agree hard with this. Still got an A from me though

Same here

It’s probably a top 5er for me. Was my 100th request

There have been a handful of songs that I wasn’t familiar enough to vote on without relistening. This hivemind mentality had me revisit water. Better than I remembered, but still enough sections that I didn’t like that kept it at a B for me.

Water is one of my favs since 2004. One of my fav moments was just being on a head full at red rocks 2016 and there being a dope creepy speak up jam that just dropped into water and I lost it.

Wellwishers is easily my favorite of the post Mantis batch of songs and one of my favorite overall post Mantis UM songs. Love that song so much

WMM and Wife Soup are 2 of my favorite songs. WMM is probably #1 or at least it used to be

Just going back to do some vote logging and I’m going to excise the F vote here. FidlamBen appears to only have placed this one vote. I don’t much care about how often someone votes, but this seems like vote placed in bad faith.

Damn even fans of the Leafs can’t make it past one round.
