Arguably the two best songs

Unarguably the two best visualizers

Voting for Stevie. But these are both excellent, moving songs - cathartic in a way Pearl Jam had not written a song in a long while

One of the best DM tracks Vs one of the worst.

Setting Sun by the widest margin.

Setting Sun. I like Stevie a lot, but the real final was last round.

Not a knock on WFS, which I do like quite a bit. But, this is an easy vote for Setting Sun. Instant classic in my opinion. Just an amazing tune.

Actually, this is wrong. I thought last round was Upper Hand vs Setting Sun...

Not a great final, even if I am very happy with the new album.

Vote for Setting Sun.

A perfectly acceptable final. Easy vote for Setting Sun.

Setting Sun is an instant, 5-star classic that comes up juuuust short in this matchup.

I'd vote for other DM songs above Setting Sun but it's definitely a rung (or three) above Stevie.

Setting Sun here. One of their best album closers for sure.

How I feel, although they are really both transcendent sacred motherfuckers

There is not a single bad song on this album, but I feel Waiting for Stevie is overrated. Much prefer Upper Hand.

Both of these are huge songs and instant classics…

I can’t choose!

Ok, I chose setting sun. But I still love you WFS.

Ok stip. Time for some of your magic.

Of the two, I'd go with Stevie, I really do love the bass/guitar riff throughout the song. But I don't think either of these would crack my top 5-6 on the album.

Setting Sun is my favourite on the album. WFS is somewhere in the middle of the pack.
