    You people. :angry:

    ;)

    I'm voting more for the meaning of the song rather than the sound of it here. Pendulum sounds nicer, but I like the lyrics of Getaway a lot more. Lyrics win this time. Although I still like how Getaway sounds. It's pretty good. Not great, but good. Pendulum is cooler just for the ah ah ahs, but that isn't enough to win.

    I think MYM deserved it. Oh well.

    Pendulum is the most original song they've written since Binaural, IMO.
    Very cool song, great opener.
    Getaway rocks, but it just isn't as adventurous.

    I do think these are definitely the 2 best songs from the album.
    I love MYM but it's somewhat formulaic and Infallible is a little poppy for upper tier greatness.

    Pendulum live > Getaway live is how I made my decision even though Pendulum was played way to much in 2013/2014.

    Mym and lb are two of their best live/studio songs in a long time.  I m in disbelief that both got voted off. This group really likes the anti crowd songs.  
    First inside job and now this; there is finally a reason to be thankful  that there is not an 11th album.

    Worst final ever. To be expected from this album.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    Poppycock! 

    Two great songs.
    If either was on an album prior to Binaural people would kill/die for them!
    Pendulum would fit right in on No Code, there are a couple songs (great songs of course) that it could replace and make a more cohesive album.
    Getaway, MYM, or LB could supplant Glorified G to make one of the greatest albums ever even greater.

    Never thought this two would make it to the final.
    The first time I heard Pendulum I admit I hated it, but then it started to grow in me. Like someone said, it´s different, and even better live in my opinion

    Surprised about Getaway in the finals.   I think it is a better song than Pendulum but Pendulum is a little more interesting than Getaway.  I thought MYM should have won.

    I got burned out on Pendulum live, but I do like it.

    Wow. My top two on the album made the finals. This hasn't happened since Vitalogy (well, maybe Riot Act).

    Now if I could only make up my mind on which one to choose.

    I love both of these, but Getaway is the only LB song that is still part of the music on my phone.
    “Do not postpone happiness”
    (Jeff Tweedy, Sydney 2007)

    “Put yer good money on the sunrise”
    (Tim Rogers)
