The Song Vs Song Game

[Moonlight_Graham]

Symbolistic White Walls easy

 

LOTGA pretty acoustics:

 

Fearless vs She's Got a New Disquise

[Audio of Being]

Fearless

 

Battle of String Arrangements:

 

While We Hunting Rabbits vs Empty's Theme Park

[RileyLewis]

Super tough one. I will have to go with Hunting Rabbits, because I know it so much better. But that could change in time, as Empty's is really amazing.

 

Ok, how about songs that involve being asleep/waking up/closing your eyes.

 

The Workers Sing a Song of Mass Production vs In A World Called Catastrophe.

[MarketTomato]

Workers no doubt. ;) (I remember him playing it for the first time live in Saskatoon a few years back which was just stellar)

 

Failing the Rorschach Test vs. Under The Influence

[Audio of Being]

Under The Influence.

 

That song has one of my favorite lyrics. "If I roast marshmallows over the bodies, do you think God will still find their souls."

 

In a World Called Catastrophe vs. Lullaby for a New World Order.

[RileyLewis]

Catastrophe

 

Battle of the good music video songs:

 

Weapon vs Alert Status Red

[Audio of Being]

Weapon.

 

Songs that are meh:

 

Rico Vs. Song For A Girl

[Computer]

Neither

 

Agoraphobe or Raining Blood

[Goldring]

Agoraphobe

 

X marks the spot

 

Generation X-Wing vs. Future is X-Rated

Edited September 28, 2009 by Goldring

[Devil On Rollerskates]

As a Star Wars fan, I'll say Generation X-Wing.

 

Shortest song vs. longest song: I'm Not Safer Than A Bank vs. Champions Of Nothing (pretty sure it's longer than Empty's Theme Park)

 

I'd have chosen Raining Blood, Matt Good covering Slayer would be...interesting. ;)

[Manchalivin]

A Single Explosion

 

Now, a battle of shitty songs:

 

Middle Class Gangsters vs The Devil's In Your Details

You suck! ;) Both of those are quite good.

[Devil On Rollerskates]

Both of those are quite good.

 

I agree.

 

Now let's stay focused: Shortest song vs. longest song: I'm Not Safer Than A Bank vs. Champions Of Nothing

Edited September 28, 2009 by Devil On Rollerskates

[Manchalivin]

I'm not really a fan of Champions of Nothing but it doesn't seem right to pick the other one so Champions of Nothing it is.

 

Lullaby For The New World Order Vs. Bright End of Nowhere

[Audio of Being]

Bright End of Nowhere

 

Violent Matchup:

 

Boy and His Machine Gun vs. Born To Kill

[Moonlight_Graham]

i can't choose, they both kind of stink. But i'll go with Born to Kill

 

the underrated Underdogs songs:

 

My Out of Style Is Coming Back vs The Inescapable Us

[Audio of Being]

My Out of Style...

 

Underrated Beautiful Midnight Songs:

 

Let

[RileyLewis]

I love Born To Kill!

 

Going All The Way

 

How about some stranger ones (but excellent):

 

Flight Recorder From Viking 7 vs Life Beyond the Minimum Safe Distance

[Devil On Rollerskates]

This is a tough one. The last three songs on Loser Anthems are IMO among Matt's best songs. I'll say Life Beyond, but I could change my mind in a minute.

 

The battle for "Born" Supremacy: Born Losers vs. Born To Kill

[MarketTomato]

Born to Kill. (The epic dissonant strings and overall chaos just kills me).

 

Battle of Numbered Songs: Invasion 1 vs. Flashdance II

[RileyLewis]

Flashdance II!

 

Ok, how about two really sad, depressing songs (that are two of my top 5):

 

Running For Home vs Fated

[bishopx]

Damn that's a tough one, they are two pretty awesome songs. I would have to say Fated, even though I would rather call a tie.

 

 

 

Battle of two of the most rocking songs on Avalanche: Near Fantastica Vs. Double Life

 

One song enter, one song leave

[Audio of Being]

Near Fantastica

 

Singles Battle:

 

Hello Time Bomb vs Load Me Up

[Goldring]

I always thought these songs sounded somewhat similar

 

Hello Time Bomb "dirty enough, I've got me a love at is so bad, it's so bad" - awesome lyric

 

flashy colour songs

 

Symbolistic White Walls vs. Alert Status Red

[Audio of Being]

Alert Status Red

 

Underrated White Light Songs:

 

Empty Road vs Ex-Pats.

[Manchalivin]

Kind of a hard one but I'll pick Ex-Pats.

 

Acoustic/Non-Acoustic:

 

Generation X-Wing (Raygun) Vs. Generation X-Wing (Rooms)
