grrrrrr... you cant compare songs! every single song ever written is dfrnt to another.

my PERSONAL OPINION says Not Afraid is better because ive heard it fully and in 4 versions for over a year now. its maybe my favourite OLP song. i LOVE Vampires as i listen to it more and more.

but asking to compare them, is just wrong


Settle. Down.

This thread is a matter of opinion. Simple question: Which do you like better? Not a big deal. Not too hard to handle...

im settled... u didnt read where i said i had??

ur only comparing them coz they're the newest stuff we've heard... no1 ever tries to compare 'Starseed' to 'If You Beleive'... or 'Blister' to 'Hope'. because they're 2 dfrnt songs and irrelevant to each other.

i, as a fan of music dont comppare songs. take each one as they come

and this actually wasnt about opinion... he goes "ok i kno ur all thinking it, which is best?" when thats clearly asking for a comparison

Just leave.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

hey hey.....we know its unfinished.........our opinions can change when we hear the album........but until then let's not police conversation about the band. I only hate when spam takes over..........any band discussion is just fine. And that's my policy.

Actually, we had a massive series of polls choosing the favourite song out of all of them. So yes, we have compared different songs.

And, this clearly is about opinion. Preferance between two songs is, after all, a personal preferance.

I still don't see what the big deal is...

So Vampires is definitely on the new CD? It would seem so, if they are playing a demo from it.
I just wanna get out,

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.

I actually really really like this song. Shame that we won't get the new cd until the new year... that kinda sucks, but it's good to hear something new.
