Speed of Sound vs. Around the Bend

Post by **stip** » Fri March 26, 2021 12:11 am

I like both of these songs about the same. Giving it to Speed of Sound. I think it's a bit more interesting, I like the lyrics more, and it's on Backspacer, though Around the Bend is the better performance

Close but I prefer Around the Bend which closes a wild album on an unpredictable note.

Both of these are good to my ears, but I didn't hesitate. Around the Bend.

I still go back and forth with how I feel about Speed of Sound musically. However, I know I really love it lyrically, and that's enough to get it by Around the Bend for me.

Around the Bend but not a slight against Speed of Sound. I love Speed of Sound more than most here.

Can’t choose. Ugh. Both good.

Around the Bend's one of No Code's lesser songs for me, but it's better than Speed of Sound and it's an incredible performance (and production).

How the fuck did Speed of Sound get out of Round 1?

Isn’t this round 2?
