I love this Myst. I saw it live and have loved it ever since. I agree with Principal. It's too bad that it's in this region. It deserves a better fate.

I love both of these. When I first heard Wysteria, I had to replay the ending several times and let the vibes sink in. So good! I also love this Myst and the whole band jamming all the way through. So much sustained joy!
Is JOTY the peak at the end or the whole journey? This matchup is a fun example of both!

Agree with Avelarris, just not a big fan of of either of these jams. But I'll vote Wysty.

A really good Myst (that I had somewhere in the middle of my bracket), versus a great Wysteria (that I had as my number three or four jam). It's too bad it's in this region with Boise Rosewood and Milwaukee Madhuvan. All three could be "Final Four Jams"... if the seeding had worked out differently.

I think this Wysteria is going to the Final Four. This Myst is no slouch though, my highest ranked of the year and definitely deserves every vote it gets

Cool couple themes in the Wysteria for sure (love some dark double guitar work), but I enjoy the upbeat fully explored Myst ride more - it's so joyous and a cooldown vibe jam is always a nice plus!
I really find myself appreciating these chill little 3-5 minute outro jams more and more each time I come across one in this tournament. They really nailed those this past year.

Didn't vote for either of these in the first round, so I had to relisten and reevaluate. Its a pretty close toss up here. I do like the steady driving and measure jam of the the Myst, but I also really like the scuzzy Gizz-like jam on wysteria. Wysteria also sticks the landing better. It gets my vote, despite being egregiously overseeded

Sorry for the sour grapes, but this lower half of the region is very meh to me

I hate having to vote against this Myst, which I love very much, but Wysteria should have been a #1 seed. It's an incredible piece of music.

Into the Myth, one of my favorite songs, should end here. Too monotonous.
This WL is great. Appropriately ranked. Had a dark section and lots of change ups. Got my vote.

My heart really wants to vote this Myst as I love the jam but cant let attendance bias override how epic that Wysteria is. Lane got my vote

The fact that this Myst is a 7 seed and the Philly Myst is a 3 seed perplexes me. This Myst deserved better. But it matters not as this Wysteria is a master class in maximizing 20 minutes worth of Goose. Outstanding version and it moves on.

Kemba Wysteria could win the whole thing and I wouldn't be mad. Truly elite 2025 Goose
Gilford Myst is a delight. Best Myst of the year and worth a listen or three today. But it sadly does not deserve to move on to the sweet 16

Wysteria. I love this Myst but this Wysteria is awesome and has a chance to go very far in the bracket.

Wysteria clears
I love an upbeat dance jam (and this one is fantastic) but not even a Sublime tease can save it from getting destroyed by the improvisational masterpiece it's up against here.

Toying with dimensions, is a sticky business. Who did it better between these two: Fall Wyst or Summer Myst? With choices like these...
