Segue Myles Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I will be brutally honest, Snakes And Arrows is a beautifully played stinker. But I see it has its devoted fans. On the other hand, I think Hold Your Fire is a genuine work of art, a 10/10 masterwork from a band who never truly reached this high level of artistry again (with the exception of the sulphuric fury of Vapor Trails). Go on, pick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) I'll take Snakes over Trails any day of the week (and twice on Sundays, as our friend Narps would say)...but Hold Your Fire trumps nearly all- 10/10, no questions asked.

Cyclonus X-1 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I'll go with Snakes & Arrows. I'd take Workin' Them Angels or Armor and Sword over any song on Hold Your Fire, and I think S&A has a greater number of quality tunes in general. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is second only to...erm...AFTK/Hems/MP...either that or it shares the top spot with them...good grief I couldn't pick just one... And Vapor Trails rules buddy! My fifth 10/10, but not quite a number one contender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocket ignites Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 They're probably closer when I think about it, but I have to give the nod to S&A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Dad Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Am a huge fan of both, but Snakes is in the upper percentile for me. HYF somewhere in the middle, but Lock and Key may be my favorite song on both albums. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zer Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I've started to really like Snakes & Arrows and especially albums second half, so I voted it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disk98 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Hold Your Fire is fantastic. Just beautiful. Snakes…meh…it's okay, I guess. But HYF is definitely the winner here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satchmothesnowdog Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 HYF is a really beautiful sounding piece of work and I really think they poured everything into it. Snakes...meh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
