NAIS is perfect. Even the demo with Jeff doing vocals is really good.

"NAIS" is a worthy adversary, but it's gotta be "Sleight of Hand."

Shit. It's Sleight of Hand, with certainty while at the same time being very close. Sleight of Hand the band's most successful and far reaching undertaking beyond the sound of what they're usually capable of. In Vitalogy, the band wanted to be experimental, but sort of demarcated it's bonkers side with its songwriter's side (it's very clear what the "WEIRD" Vitalogy tracks are). Sleight of Hand legitimately molds some of their more out-there leanings with their talent as straightforward songwriters, and it hits the mark exactly. This is the one song of theirs it's just hard to imagine them writing, because it feels so outside their zone, but they completely make it their own.

Goddamnit Stip! Stop doing this! It's not fair.

I'm voting for Sleight of Hand. Because it's the slightly better song. But man it hurts like hell to not voting for NAIS. Both are just pure sonic bliss.

I hate this round.

2017, the year RM march madness blew its load too early. The finals won't compare to these matchups.

Yes, but Tremor Christ would end up saying, "No mas."
