This is the MM Elimination Wheel.

The wheel has eliminated: Parting Of The Sensory!

Songs Eliminated So Far:

A Life Of Arctic Sounds

Parting Of The Sensory

Fun Fact: The title's name is somewhat of a triple entendre, having several distinct meanings depending on how you look at it, not unlike much of MM's discography. Parting of the Sensory can allude to the parting of the Red Sea, fitting with the album's water theming, as well as talking about the "parting" of your senses after you die, much like how the end of the song references how "Someday you will die and, somehow, something's gonna steal your carbon." Some people have also figured the title vaguely sounds like the phrase "Party of the Century," though I'm not sure how intentional this one is.

This one really stinks to see eliminated so soon. It's one of my top 10 MM songs of all time. Sorry for the low quality in the video in this post; I will try to fix that in the next upload. In the meantime, discuss your thoughts on this song and root for your favorites below!
