Severed Hand. An above average song over an average song. Another case where stronger songs should be here (Cold Confession, Comatose, and maybe Marker).

Both good songs but one I want to hear. Army Reserve has some great mood and movement. The Outro seems underwhelming but is the perfect lead in to Come Back.

Everytime I queue up Army Reserve to see if I really hate it as much as I think I do, I think "oh yeah, this is that song that I hate."

Army Reserve. The music is strong enough to outweigh the unfortunate vocals and melody
Severed Hand is better than Life Wasted, but not by much.

I've always felt like the chorus of Army Reserve belongs in a different song. I quite like the verses.

I really enjoy both of these songs. But SH gets the edge.

This is the only difficult match this round.

Army Reserve is my favorite Foo Fighters song featuring Toby Keith! Definitely should have beat CC.
Severed Hand.

The closest one in this round. And army reserve still takes this by some margin.

Severed Hand is better than I tend to give it credit for, and the album version has a lot better groove than I remember. But Mike's solo somehow manages to be both boring and obnoxious at the same time, and I can't overlook that.
I don't like the way Eddie sounds on Army Reserve, but it's a more interesting song, so it gets my vote.

This is how I feel, too. The verses are wonderful but then the chorus happens. I don't think they make the measure change work very well. Vote for Severed Hand.

Severed Hand for me.
Army Reserve has a cool jam, and some of that spacey / atmosphere rock going on, which I typically love, but the song falls a little flat for me. Overall though it's a solid number, but I think I like Severed Hand better.

Yeah, the chorus is abysmal. But the general feel of the music and the strong verses make it a song that I really do enjoy hearing.
Not very good live, though

I like the chorus - it has that "Riot Act"-esque subtle tension to it, and some good lyrics.
"Severed Hand" is okay but doesn't amount to much more than a riff. "Army Reserve" is an easy vote for me here.

See KD gets it, I don't know why no one else does.
