Montauk - 6 Blame it on Bad Luck - 3 Don’t Call Me Peanut - 2 They Looked Like Strong Hands - 7 Peanut has a lot of work to do if a comeback is in order!
Montauk vs. Blame It on Bad Luck One of the easiest for me. I said before I can't really relate to too many Bayside lyrics - well Bad Luck is pretty much the biggest exception to that. It hits home in the strongest way for me. And I love it musically. The pulsating beat of the chorus pairs absolutely perfectly with the lyrics in my opinion. Brilliant songwriting. Don’t Call Me Peanut vs. They Looked Like Strong Hands Tough matchup here, but my praises of Peanut from the last round still give it the edge for me. it's just the perfect acoustic Bayside song. I think what danielm123 said about the album comes into play here too. The album works perfectly all together. Each song works very well into the next, and I think that has come into play for me this round. Strong Hands into Montaulk works perfectly, and I think it makes both songs better. So when left on their own, I don't think they have enough to beat the other two.
Nonetheless, I would love for everyone who has an interest in voting here to have a chance to do so! If you (or anyone else) ever need more time, let me know and I will accommodate.

This has me listening to s/t today and I’m definitely thinking I will listen to their whole catalog at work today. Not mad about it at all.
Blame It on Bad Luck (this was tough! these songs are about even for me) They Looked Like Strong Hands
I love Strong Hands as much as the next guy, but this is almost painful watching Peanut get massacred the way it is.
