Tough, tough, tough choice here. Went with No Way but I feel bad for Rival. This may need a revision.

Both are incredible songs. I get the strong urge to bob my head to and fro on a lateral plane to each of them. The guitars stand out in a big way on No Way, where as Rival seems to share the the spotlight with all of its pieces. I want to listen to Rival again immediately every time I hear it. There is so much to grab onto and ride through the song. I thought this would be difficult, and all due respect to No Way, but Rival takes the cake here.

I love me some No Way, but Rival is top 10 in my book. Both songs are criminally underrated by the band, but with Rival it's a felony, whereas No Way is more like a class X misdemeanor.

Rival keeps getting better to me, but it's still not good enough to pip No Way.

Both are excellent, but Rival is a little more excellent.
It always annoys me how Boom never plays the piano part when they play it live. What the hell, boom?

I wrote a bunch in a previous round about my love for Rival, so I don't mean to repeat it all here. Just a great use of space, texture, and a brooding aggressiveness that doesn't really explode, really, but gives you hints of something really dangerous brooding right after the song. No Way is a cool tune, but it's never really struck me as a Top 20 or a Top 30 song for me (remember, Round 4 will be the round of 32!). Rival is a top ten tune for me, so it's really no contest.
