As I see it, the natural favourite track on Pawn Hearts is A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers due to its epic nature. However, I'm curious about which of the side one tracks is preferred. So which do you prefer... Lemmings or Man-Erg? I'm also curious if this is preferred outright, or second to A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers.

My vote goes to A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers then Lemmings. Why Lemmings? Because this track sets the tone for the entire album. The first time I heard the start of Lemmings, it resonated with me and I knew I was going to be listening to an exceptional album. And I was right!

Lemmings, my favorite VDGG track.

I don't really know how to vote on this one. I definitley like Man-Erg better than Lemmings, but I do like the first half of Lighthouse Keepers at least a bit better than Man-Erg... however, the second half sort of looses it... I guess overall I would say my favourite would be Man-Erg.

The first time listening through I preferred Man-Erg above the other two, but there's no way I can't recognise the epic journey that is A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers. It just has to take the cake.
I use they/them pronouns (feel free to ask me about this!)
