Y'all eliminated Yellow Moon before Getaway?

That's embarrassing.

Getaway has long overstayed its welcome. A resolutely average song on an album full of underappreciated gems

And it's still one of the best songs on this album.

Lightning Bolt is the worst song on this album after Future Days. How did it make it this far!

Ok I’m forgetting a few (most) other tracks which are tied for 2nd worst spot!

Lightning Bolt is eliminated and Getaway remains because RM is terrible.

Pendulum is probably my 4th or 5th ranked song on Lightning Bolt (possibly 6th) but it's still pretty great and a worthy winner. I think Getaway ranks second to last for me
