Wishlist vs. Breakerfall

Post by **stip** » Thu March 25, 2021 12:15 am

I forgot Wishlist was in this round. Maybe my favorite song on Yield, and definitely my second favorite of the round after Small Town.

Breakerfall is pretty good. Easily my favorite of the four song run that starts off Binaural. It's nothing that haven't done elsewhere, and better, but it's a fun song. It is a case where I think Binaural's production works against, as opposed to for, the song though

I adore Breakerfall. It has it all for me and comes close to 5*. Wishlist does not.

This is a tough matchup for me but remembering how Breakerfall sounded live during the Binaural tour is what put it over the edge for me.

I like Breakerfall in isolation, but lyrically/thematically it's never felt like the right opener for Binaural.

Wishlist is a great song that I may tend to overlook or underrate at times, but I shouldn't.

Agree that I love how it sounds in those 2000 shows. Works better as a concert opener than album opener for me.

No it's a great opener for Binaural too.

Wishlist is a snoozer. Easy vote for breakerfall.

Breakerfall has been a favorite since the first time I turned on Binaural.

Breakerfall is cool as hell, but Wishlist moves me more

Breakerfall and Wishlist are both great in different ways. I can see Breakerfall going for miles and miles and miles. Oh yeah.

Tough one.

I think if I ever got to legit cover a PJ song in front of a crowd I’d go with Breakerfall.

Totally agree. I’ve loved Breakerfall from day 1 and it easily gets my vote here.

This is tough. Basically a toss up. But I'm going with Wishlist.

Wishlist was a favorite once, then it kinda faded into obscurity while Breakerfall is still a top 5 song to me. Also, the very first song i heard live!!

I just love it.

Wishlist is overrated, Breakerfall is a great start to Binaural.

I used to really hate on Wishlist but I've actually really come around on it the past few years. I prefer Breakerfall though, but this was surprisingly close for me.

This one is really close. I like both songs quite a lot, but I'm leaning "Wishlist" right now. I won't be mad either way it goes.
