Song By Song Battle: Presto vs. Counterparts

Recommended Posts

Mixing it up a bit by pitting two albums that aren't consecutive, but I did that for a reason. The documented hate for Roll The Bones & Test For Echo on this forum would make for a depressing and predictable result. The fact that Roll The Bones has 10 songs also makes it a little more challenging. I will pit it against another 10 song album soon, though. Anyway...

 

 

Show Don't Tell > Animate

Chain Lightning > Stick It Out

The Pass > Cut to the Chase

War Paint < Nobody's Hero

Scars < Between Sun & Moon

Presto > Alien Shore

Superconductor > The Speed of Love

Anagram (For Mongo) < Double Agent

Red Tide > Leave That Thing Alone

Hand Over Fist ≤ Cold Fire

Available Light < Everyday Glory

 

Win for Presto by the closest of margins, 6 - 5. Very close battle at #10. I really like Hand Over Fist, but in the end decided on Cold Fire. As much as I love Alien Shore (it's my 3rd favourite on Counterparts) nothing on either of these albums is beating out Presto (song) which is my favourite song out of all the ones on offer here.

Real hard one here and i agree with most of your choices but would probably change Hand Over Fist over Cold Fire.Of course the production on Counterparts wins hands down over the thin Presto sound.

I really hate Stick It Out. Based on this criteria counterparts wins. Which is good, because it's the better album and I love Between Sun and Moon.

Surprising for me as I prefer Counterparts overall. It just shows how important the matchups are.

 

I do like both albums though so no probs in that regard.

I'll do the battle for you soon, but expect really disheartening results!

 

RtB vs T4E? Lol

 

 

Na... I'll do Counterparts vs. Test For Echo, but I think you'll be pretty unhappy. They only like Driven here.

Counterparts wins 7 to 4. A couple of really tough matchups in this one though.
