The Coin Has A Say Petal Really tough matchups this round! Map Change is a great song and a great closing track for (the regular edition of) Low Teens, but I have to go with The Coin Has A Say. I love everything about that song - Keith's lyrics, Jordan's solo at the 1:15 mark, the last half minute or so of the song...it's all awesome. Just As Real...is one of my favorites on the album and as I previously mentioned it has my favorite riff on the album, but Petal is just on another level entirely (in my opinion). It's some of (if not THE) most personal lyrics that Keith has written. My favorite part of the song is from 2:05 to 2:25 - "If I have to walk alone I'm giving up, I can't stay here knowing love is not enough"
Coin Petal Madonn that was the toughest round. I love Map Change but I still contend that Coin is a top 5 ETID song, maybe top 3, and that Map Change is top 15, maybe top 10. Just as Real is Rip City but Petal's lyrics put in a category all its own. Not mentioned to far: Steve's bass riff over the "what have I done part".
LOW TEENS ROUND 3 SO FAR: The Coin Has A Say - 9 Map Change - 5 Petal - 14 Just As Real But Not As Brightly Lit - Ø
Fuck I don't want Just As Real to get shut out but Map Change Petal No matter what choice you make for any of these songs, it's rough
We now have a tie and a clean sweep. Edit: about to see IT in like 4 minutes so here's the current totals before it starts. LOW TEENS ROUND 3 SO FAR: The Coin Has A Say - 9 Map Change - 9 Petal - 18 Just As Real But Not As Brightly Lit - :/
The Coin Has A Say Just As Real But Not As Brightly Lit (that's not a sympathy vote either. next to coin, it's my favorite song on the album.)
Map vs. Petal will be a much more divisive/interesting choice than Coin vs Petal. Vote Map/Petal 2017
