White Lies vs Cold War Kids


Ritual vs. Mines is yours
White Lies is up first then Cold War Kidsand this repeats until the top five songs by both of them have all battled its cold then white, cold then white, cold then white... Five times total of 10 songs and 5 pts. Let's GO.


Round 1:
3. Bigger than Us: Pulsing, Deep Voice, Catchy lyrics, Similarity to The Editors.
Sounds More Alternative than Indie Rock. 

vs.

2. Louder than Ever: The Voice is amazing, emotional, and speak about guitar. They always deliver great songs.


Round 2:
2. Strangers: Plucking, Bass, Horns, Lovely Deep vocals. The guitars are sharply strumming.

vs.

1. Mines is Yours: It starts off slow but it keeps growing, then the catchy whoahs start. The song starts to get thicker and more instruments are added.

Round 3:
1. Is love: Pounding drums start and continue on. The strange scattering sound goes on the background as he sings.

vs.

3. Royal Blue: The guitar is too amazing, the piano is great and his vocals are equally great.

Round 4:
6. Holy Ghost: Drive and sharp picking. Great deep voice and nice lyrics.

vs.

4. Finally Begin: Soft guitar, quick smooth vocals. Great percussion and very well placed hooks.

Round 5: 
4. Peace and Quiet: Softer than the other songs, thinner sound, less elements. This goes away once the vocals start and it still is thin but the elements get together and form a sort of burial.

vs.

6. Skip the Charades: Chill, packed in with nice percussion, nice vocals. Thinner sound, and the music is repetitive.

Evaluation:


16 song addition

16 song addition


Round winner:
Round 1: Cold War Kids
Round 2: Cold War Kids
Round 3: Cold War Kids
Round 4: Cold War Kids
Round 5: White Lies


Cold War Kids: 4 pts.
White Lies: 1 pt.


To tell you the truth i was leaning to Cold War Kids from the start, White Lies they're great but the sophomore album lacked and ask any White Lies fan the debut was a lot better. Mine is Yours was a good album despite it being shadowed by Robbers & Cowards and Loyalty is Loyalty. They both are great albums and i mean this in all respect to White Lies I'd rather buy Mines is Yours.
