Big Wave vs. Let Me Sleep vs. Evacuation

Big Wave is fucking great and anyone who disagrees should roll down the window and drive by the coast on a muthafukkin hot day.

One of these three fairly undeserving songs is getting a free pass to the second round.

Dislike Evacuation. I do like let me sleep, but I'll give Big Wave the vote just for its energy.

2 of my babies. Big Wave and Evacuation.

Tough call

I am also struggling

It’s really a choice between the two different bridges of Evacuation and the outro of Big Wave.

“There was a solemn man…” just has something so special about it, so it gets my vote

yep. I'd vote this for best bridge in the catalogue.


*edit - maybe #2 to Pilate

Yea, Evacuation has a different sexy swagger that really gets me. Both songs are great guitar tracks but im going Evacuation.

Big Wave's outro vs. Evacuation's bridge.

Big Wave wins today.

Matt’s kick drum matching up with the descending guitar lick still gets me excited all these years later

"Evacuation" is an absolutely titanic PJ song for me -- the introduction of Matt into the songwriting fold added a layer to their artistry I had no idea I was wanting, and every new PJ album I anticipate what he's going to come up with. A wonderful song. I dig both of the others but they're minor pleasures by comparison.

Super tough.

Going with Big Wave for now.

Evacuation is pretty cool. Big Wave not so much.

Not a popular opinion but I dislike evacuation!

back in the day evacuation was revilied around here

I'm not a fan of Evacuation either.

Lucky draw for these three in that one of them will actually win a round.

I like all three of these. But Big Wave is my favorite among them. But I have zero problem with Evacuation winning.

Woof, Big Wave and Evacuation are too of my least favourite songs, so Let Me Sleep by default.
