Final Totals: The Robot With Human Hair, Pt. 1 - 5 The Importance Of Cocaine - 2 Burning Down The Nicotine Armoire - 0 The Robot Vs. Heroin Battle Of Vietnam - 7 ---------------- Final Round: The Robot With Human Hair, Pt. 1 vs. The Robot Vs. Heroin Battle Of Vietnam
The Robot Vs. Heroin Battle Of Vietnam Both Vietnam and Nicotine Armoire are really good songs imo. Don't really care for anything else on this EP though.
Robot vs. Heroin Battle Of Vietnam is a legitimately great song. Catchy as all hell, surprisingly emotional, and has a weird and spastic energy to it.
I know I said that I’d keep the rounds open for a full day, but I’ll make an exception here... We’ll start the next album in a couple hours.

Surprise! I'm from Cuba, Everyone Has One Brain And I Told Them I Invented Times New Roman Lemon Meringue Tie Pretty easy choices for me.
Surprise I'm From Cuba - Pretty easy choice, this song is just much bigger and cooler than Back To The Future. Jon is having so much fun, and Jonny's melodies are perfect. Times New Roman - Classic song, super fun song. I love the way percussion and and guitars in the chorus, it feels like floating. And the way the cut up Jonny's vocals for that little breakdown bit was very progressive for the time it was released. Lemon Merengue Tie - This is just a perfect DGD song. It's a fan favorite for a reason. That riff is iconic, the atmosphere is beautiful, and then when that chorus hits it EXPLODES. Jonny's "I Don't Know Why, I Don't Know Why I Fight For You This Way" is one of the best choruses in all of rock. Jon is at the top of his game too. Then that bridge where Jonny yells "And I believed you're not okay" is so awesome.
Cuba Safe Backseat (This needs new lyrics written for it, but structurally and instrumentally my favorite for this album) Antlion
Turn Off The Lights, I'm Watching Back To The Future It's Safe To Say You Dig The Backseat Lemon Meringue Tie I’ve seen the criticism float around than Jonny can’t write good melodies but this album has like 600 of them
Surprise! I'm From Cuba, Everyone Has One Brain And I Told Them I Invented Times New Roman Lemon Meringue Tie Literally voter suppression.
