Division 4 Round 4bc: Parachutes vs. Pendulum

If Pendulum was a little bit more muted/distant, and Eddie was down in the mix a bit I might have voted for it. Both great songs that are done a disservice by their production, but Pendulum is the kind of song that is going to rely more on the atmosphere it creates, and so it feels the impact of that a bit more.

Parachutes.

Parachutes is a thing of beauty.

Parachutes better win this round, good lord.

I like Parachutes just fine at this point, but I have trouble jumping on that bandwagon.

Pedulum

Parachutes is just a nice tune. Very little criticism can be reasonably laid on it.

Pendulum is nice, but it's a trick of a song, a piece of music that does something well, but nothing else beyond that.

I really don't get all the love Parachutes gets. It sounds horrible on the record. Is there a good live version I should check out?

Pendulum easily gets my vote.

I'm kind of surprised by the results so far. RM finally getting something right.

Parachutes is so much better.

This is way too close. Only a 3/2 ratio? This should be like 10/1 or something.

Tough match up, two of PJ's better newish tunes. I think Parachutes edges out Pendulum though.

parachutes, while not a particularly great song, should be viewed favorably simply because its sound distinguishes it from the plodding, mid-tempo white noise of the avocado album

while pendulum is part of the plodding, mid-tempo white noise of lightning bolt
