Go.

I wish Not For You was about 90 seconds shorter.

After all the excess fat production on Ten we got the sinew, muscle and sheer brutality of Go. I fucking loved it and still do.

I'd like to be able to vote for NFY, but I just can't when it's up against Go.

Why fight it?

Go.

Go is a 22-year old kid. Hits the weight room, sprints on the tread mill, shops at GNC nutrition and walks around with a puffed out chest.

Not For You is the 32 year old outdoorsy type, former boxer, father of two, that has been condescended to by his boss too many times. It has so much more raw aggression than its competitor.

As great as Go is, nothing in that song approaches the fervor they play with coming out of the bridge in NFY.

At least 5 of us get it.

Yea, I like Go and all, but it will always strike me as a warmup for the superior Animal.

Not For You is worn, ragged vitriol. It's the perhaps the best example (or maybe I Got Shit) of a particular type of song that, at the age of 14, I could've sworn was written specifically for me -- and its power hasn't lessened at all 21 years later.

But I'd rather be 22 again instead of 32 again.

changed vote to NFY

Indeed.

Go loses my attention at moments and it's not even a long song. Not For You grabs me by the nuts and doesn't release for almost 6 minutes. This is the easiest matchup this round.

Kaius is really selling NFY here. I may have to change my vote.

I know it's futile, but if I can change the hearts and minds of a few then it's worth it.

I'm not trying to dog on Go---it is powerful, and obviously it's fast and intense and fast...and intense...and fast.

Not For You is a steam locomotive with a 5000 ton payload coming around the mountain. The rails are shaking and nothing short of blowing up the tracks is going to stop it.

"Go" is feverish and desperate. "Not For You" just comes off as bratty to me, in comparison.

Go is way more fun to play on the guitar

NFY's whistling tea kettle FTW.
