Can't Keep vs. Marker in the Sand

Can't Keep has quietly become my second favorite song on Riot Act. Marker is good, but I'll never stop thinking it would have been great if it was on any other record. The ST sound cuts its legs out from underneath

Jesus... This one of fucking brutal. These are both top tier. Damn... I have to think about it.

Cant Keep is on another level. The whole band is amazing there and to think they reworked that song from a uke demo...amazing song.

Marker should have been a great song and its not.

If that's the logic/reasoning we're using I'll have to change my vote from Wreckage to Come Back.

For the love of Thor, do not do that

Both good songs. Can't Keep is better though.

MITS but it was close.

I think I'm leaning that way too.

A bit like Dissident, the instrumental bridge does a lot of the heavy lifting for me.

Can't Keep is good, but it's also just another Ed song, yanno?

Sometimes I wonder if the users in the forum are literally deaf.
