Another case where I'd have voted for a sizable chunk of the eliminated songs over either one of these.

MFS, I guess.

Help Help is one of my favorite Riot Act tunes. Pretty easy to pick it here.

MFS is a strong song, but Help Help takes this fairly easily.

This is one of those matches that highlights just how much more compelling even the mid-tier debris from their middle years is to me than even the best material from "Lightning Bolt." Easy vote for "Help Help."

I think MFS has some really interesting parts, and cool music, but it's no Help Help.

Help Help is not meh. It's maybe the second best song on Riot Act.

I'm a pretty big fan of both of these but I don't think I can deny that Help Help is the better song of the two.

2 rather average tracks. One is the best song on an album, the other is one of the worst songs on its album. I admire the space that HHelp occupies it has never done it for me.

MFS as I can listen to it.

Lightning Bolt's best is still better than Riot Act's worst.
