Bang Bang VS Revolution Radio

[Christian's Inferno!]

Vote for your favourite song. Don't vote unless you've heard both songs

[jordanlolss]

I love Bang Bang, but the melody of Revrad stole my heart right away.

[Christian's Inferno!]

I'm surprised this poll is so one-sided. I did expect Bang Bang to be winning but not by this much

[Steven Seagull]

Revolution Radio and it's not even close.

[Maddie86]

too soon to say for me. I liked bang bang at first, then I liked it more and more with each listen. only listened to revrad twice, i'm listening to the new Against Me right now and then I'll listen to rev a few more times later

[stories and songs]

Can I just say both? I love both. I think RevRad is a little easier to listen to—the chorus is so much fun. But they're BOTH so much fun. Gah. I don't know man. This album is going to be bang bangin'. 

[gd86arg]

For me RevRad is better, love it <3

[Heather.]

Revolution Radio has a catchier melody.  I'm not totally impressed by the lyrics in either song, but RR makes a bit more sense to me, so I'm going with that.

I think Billie needs new words and imagery though.  We get it, we should put our hands up and testify.  "Obsolete" is his new favorite word I think, since 99 Revolutions.

[Maid Meringue]

Bang Bang has better lyrics, Revrad has better mixed vocals.

[Virtuous Xman]

That's really hard for me to decide one or the other.  I need the album and then I can technically rank the songs from favorite to least.

[zeldachick14]

Glad most people agree that bang bang is better.

You sure do like playing devil's advocate, don't you?  

I don't like how the chorus fits into RevRad, to be honest. It reminds me of how I feel about Iron Maiden's "Montségur"--great song slightly marred by an out-of-place-sounding chorus. That's just my take. I really like both, though.

This is a pet peeve of mine regarding GD lyrics. Billie way overuses certain words; I agree.

[Misterglasshalfempty]

Too soon to say really. When I first heard Bang Bang I didn't really like it, but it has grown on me since then. Revolution Radio I liked right away, and has a much, much better melody, but maybe I'll grow tired of it faster than Bang Bang. But right now, Revolution Radio is a absolute favorite.

I'd say the lyrics are still pretty good, yeah there's some cheese, but he gets his points across very well if you pay attention to the lyrics and the methaphors. Metaphors have been a staple of Bilie's song writing since well... forever! Btw I'm not saying you're not paying attention, I understand if you just don't like the lyrics.

[HAPPY ZOMBIE UNICORN]

Yesterday I would have said Bang Bang, I still believe that song is just a perfect lead single, the single we needed one month ago, full of freshness and energy, amazing lyrics and catchy-punkish music. But now that I had many listenings of RR in sequence after BB i voted for the new one (even if probably I still think BB is a better song), because it's an excellent melodic anthem, because facing Bang Bang wasn't an easy job, and 'cause now I'm even more excited for the new album  

[EastCaitNowhere]

I prefer Bang Bang, to me it has that more pissed off feel, and I like the fact that its so fast rather than the slightly slower tempo of Rev Rad, I love them both though.

Same here! RevRad is so catchy and it sounds so much like GD. Not that Bang Bang doesn't sound like GD, but RevRad just feels more familiar to me. It somehow reminds me of other GD songs, but still it's got something very unique. Oh I love both

[UNICORN VOMIT]

Bang bang is kickass 

[XXXNoOneKnowsXXX]

Bang Bang but Revolution Radio is very good too. Can't wait for 7th October.

No "Lullaby" is the new favourite 

I definitely prefer Bang Bang. The lyrics in the second verse of Revolution Radio make me cringe. Also frankly I'm sick of testifying Billie 

[Platypus2000]

On first listen I would've said Bang Bang but RevRad is miles better with repeated listens and having it loud as fuck. Love both of the songs though, sad that RevRad isn't getting as much love

[sassafrasroots_]

I love both, revrad is definitely catchier but I prefer the bang bang lyrically. I voted bang bang purely for the fact that when listening to the two, that's the one that gets me most excited about hearing the other new stuff  though I do love both!

[dangreenday]

Both 10/10 Songs But RevRad takes it by a tiny bit

[It's Splash Time]

I think part of the reason I currently prefer Bang Bang (and have listened to it more often) is because it was the first single of the new era, automatically making it more exciting. RevRad is really good too, but it took me a while to get into it.

[stories and songs]

RevRad is now slightly edging out Bang Bang for me. It's all I want to listen to. Might be just because it's the newer song, but I just absolutely love it.
