Yikes. I don't really care for either of these. I'll go with Getaway. That one is way more fun, catchy and memorable. Lightning Bolt is probably my second least favorite song on LB.

Getaway was an early favorite, but I've tired on it. A fun, winking nod to pop on the verses can't save the rest of the song, which sounds fairly tired and insipid in comparison. Lightning Bolt has redeemed itself live for me; I like what KD said about the song. As the centerpiece of a record it can't hope to sustain itself, but as a fun raveup nestled in a set, it's pretty good, and some of the lyrics are pretty good as well.
