Sleight of Hand vs. Rats

Post by **stip** » Thu April 08, 2021 12:05 am

God, really? With the exception of In the Moonlight I like every single song in all of round 4 more than either of these. By a lot.

Oh wait, no, there is No Way and Take the Long Way too. I only like those a little more, but at least they had the decency to be up against incredible songs

Sleight of Hand gets better and better. Rats died in April 1994.

Voting for Rats, though I agree with the second half of LMS's post

All the songs Rats beat to get here are fine at best, but this could have been Cold Confession or Yellow Ledbetter. This is why we can't have nice things.

Listened to Vs. yesterday. I'd be voting Rats regardless, but that has me extra certain.

Rats is nice, but it's more fun as a space to listen to some good playing from the band than as a song (and Ed's metaphor loses steam by about the third line and there's four minutes to go). Sleight of Hand is one of the band's finest songs, so it's an easy vote for the latter.

I'd love to see "Sleight of Hand" roll into the finals. It probably won't happen, but I'm never gonna vote against it.

Sleight of Hand is probably the song that this year's MM has most improved for me, but I'm gonna vote Rats as I'm pissed at all the dumb bums around here who voted out Dance in the last round.

Take that dumb bums.

Think this might be it, but still great for SOH advancing past this round.

Sleight of Hand is great, but this is an easy vote for Rats, one of the Pearl Jam songs I enjoy the very most.
