Match-up #40 - Poets Vs. Gift Shop
I ask you to listen to the two songs in the match-up Back to Back, and consider the lyrics of the song. Feel free to post an unbiased analysis of both songs in this thread, but please refrain from cheerleading or making predictions for your favourites.

One of the eastiest for me yet. Poets has always been a guilty pleasure for me.

I love how the studio version of Gift Shop begins...so quiet, and then it becomes so powerful.
Best song on TATH

I sat, I thought and as soon as I clicked I winced and wished I picked the other song.

Very very very hard choice.
Poets rocks and is great live. Gift Shop has that building momentum which peaks at the solo at the end.
Close one, but had to go with Gift Shop.

Giftshop just got the vote, but it almost went to a coin toss.
