Song of the Moment: Getaway

[mkay0]

Looking forward to this song live

Totally agreed. I think this could easily be the best Lightning Bolt song when we hear it live.

Best opener since last exit

I really had to think about this. And I love Sometimes and Brain of J, but I'm still thinking about it...

I had to put some time into it too

[BurtReynolds]

This song has held up for me much better than I expected. MYM didn't really hold up for me. Its ok, but Getaway is great.

Its not better than Cant Keep or Brain of J, but is much better than Breakerfall and whatever opened those other two albums.

[Norah]

but is much better than Breakerfall

No, just no.

[BurtReynolds]

but is much better than Breakerfall

No, just no.

Breakerfall is the Backspacer of the middle era, Chud. just accept it.

You shut your whore mouth. Breakerfall is a fantastic song.

[evenslow]

This easily leaves Breakerfall in the dust.

Not close to Last Exit but not much is.

Brain of J is about the level where it sits for me right now.

[Norah]

All three of those songs are leaps and bounds better than Getaway.

[evenslow]

I think we should keep arguing about it for pages on end. We'll get to the answer.

[evenslow]

Oh wait, I found it, the correct answer:

Last Exit
Go
Can't Keep
Brain of J
Getaway
Sometimes
Once
Breakerfall
Gonna See My Friend
Life Wasted

I'd only put getaway ahead of sometimes and breakerfall, but that's not a knock on getaway. A lot of stiff competition in the ol' one slot.

Spot on. This is certainly a badass opener, no doubt. Playing it on a loop.

[warehouse]

i think the fact its even being considered w/ songs like last exit and brain of j shows how great it is. those songs are classics, and this song hasnt even come out yet.

i still think the best opener is sometimes, but i feel like that and cant keep should be ranked by themselves.

Album on repeat, and this kicks on after FD piano shiite.... it's a little like

[MDSkinner]

I love this one. I have only listened to the whole album one time through but this is the one that I am finding myself wanting to listen to on repeat more than any other.

The lyrics are interesting to me. Where MYM is more angry and "those people need to change" this one is more live and let live. Interesting to go from this in Getaway to that in MYM on the album.

Great song, I look forward to hearing some live version of it.

Really interested in seeing how the fan consensus on this song changes over time, if at all.
