Division 4 Round 3av: Mind Your Manners vs. Infallible

I thin Infallible is a great song, and they've got nothing like it. I think the full on pop chorus was a bold choice in what was otherwise a martial, intimidating song. But Mind Your Manners is just skirting my top 10. Excellent lyrics, Eddie finds the sweet spot where all his fast songs should be, strong solo, cool call and response outro, and one of my favorite choruses in the catalog.

This one is a little tougher, only because the decision kinda hurts, not because it's all together difficult to make. Both great. Want both to advance. But it has to be Infallible.

Losing to MYM isn't a bad thing, though. I can live with that should it shake out that way.

This reminds me that Lightning Bolt is a better album than I give it credit for. Both songs are great, but I feel like Infallible holds up better a year out.

Infallible is fucking awful. Mind Your Manners is ok I guess.

Infallible, but I don't really care.

Agree with the first part, but I think MYM could be the best song on LB (which isn't saying a lot).

I liked MYM at first. Now I think it's kinda embarassing (like most of LB). "Infallible", on the other hand, is one of the few decent songs on the album.

Never liked MYM except for the opening seven seconds or so.

Infallible frustrates me as a really really good song is in there somewhere but only glimpsing through.

Infallible.

They should have sold Infallible to Christina Aguilera or Rob Thomas.

Hate "Infallible" so much.

"Mind Your Manners" is still about my least favorite song in Pearl Jam's discography. "Infallible" makes questionable use of what could have been a novel aesthetic for the band, but even so my preference for it over the petulant, moronic "MYM" is unequivocal.

Infallible is so fucking goooooooooooooooooooooooooooood!

How is it that every matchup is within one vote right now? :shock:

Infallible, mainly becaue they did something quite different to 'normal' PJ.

I do love the MYM outro though...

This thread is gonna get locked just when it's getting interesting

Either way, Infallible is the better song.

Voting is going to end in a few hours but I'll leave this thread open

just bumping so this stays above the locked threads.

If I was a better mod I'd just move this to the mind your manners thread.
