Fuck this is gonna be tough.

 

Hit or Miss (Very easy)

Coming Home (Not quite as easy as the first matchup, but still pretty easy)

Understatement (This was tough for me! I love both songs, but I’ll give this the edge since I’ve known it for longer and it’s a more iconic song of theirs)

Situations (Another tough one - I’m fine with either outcome)

My Friends Over You (Very easy)

 

Those synths in Barbed Wire give me life

 

That guitar riff too!

Musically “Barbed Wire” is my favorite post-Coming Home NFG song by a long mile. I hope the band does some of the elements in future songs/albums.

Shame the music video was weird. Could have helped the song take off.

 

Hey I love that video lol

I know Selfless has no chance and MFOY is the better / more iconic song and will probably win the whole thing but I gotta give some love to Selfless

Hit or Miss
Coming Home
Barbed Wire
My Friends Over You

Decided to go with that on B even though Understatement has one of my favorite pop-punk moments.

 

Hit or Miss (An absolutely brutal matchup - I'll give the slightest edge to Hit or Miss just because it was one of the songs that got me into the band)

Understatement (This was a tough one too, but not quite as bad as the first matchup)

Barbed Wire (As good as King of Wishful Thinking is, I can't vote for it over an original track of theirs that I really enjoy)

My Friends Over You (I like Selfless a lot, but this is no contest)
