Noah and The Whale vs Cake


10th Match
Last Night On Earth vs. Showroom of Compassion
Rules and blahs 
ok so there will be ten songs and they will be split into 5 for noah and 5 for cake which means that the top song by noah will battle the top song by cake and this continues until all 5 songs are used by each band and the winner of the round gets one point the winner of the most rounds winns those points and moves on to next round
Round 1:
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.: This song is the only reason i know how to spell that phrase, the guitar is cool and so is the violin. "L I F E G O E S O N" that chorus is just superb.

vs.

Mustache Man: Typical Cake sound and its totally bringing back the 90's sound. This songs horns are just so hip and the bass is very smooth the vocals are great as expected and the guitar solo man.

Round 2: 
Life is Life: Im not what i should say since they have a very electonic layer of sound here. The chorus is good though which is hard to actually picture.

vs.

Sick of You: The bass is grand, and the very road ready old highway feel. This songs feel makes you want to get into a car and drive into the desert just for the thrill.

Round 3:
Tonights the Kind of Night: the very country like vocals and low vocals make this a hard to listen song. The backing vocals get into the mix and the song improves by that much.

vs.

Long Time: This is my Favorite song on the album because the feel is just that awesome. They do it your self type of sound and thick yet incredibly thin sound gets you and grasps your feet.

Round 4: 
Wild Thing: The desolate feel doesn't really add much more than a sadder mood. the thin sound doesnt help either it adds the sadness and it doesn't get better fast.

vs. 

Federal Funding: I'm wondering if this is a response to the crap that happened during the bank bailouts. "You'll recieve the federal the federal funding you can have a hefty grand" these words really grip you and cause you to think.

Round 5:
Waiting for my chance to come: This is an upbeat song its a lot happier than the other hit songs. This song is a combination of awesome western feel and the violins and guitar emphisize this but this bands isn't american.

vs.

Got to Move: Slower Jam but it sounds like theres something he needs to say and were here to listen. The song really moves you and the lyrics give you a message.


Verdict:
Round 1: Noah and the Whale
Round 2: Cake
Round 3: Cake
Round 4: Cake
Round 5: Noah and the Whale

Noah and The Whale: 2
Cake: 3

Why: Must i Explain? ok Cake didn't make a Fashion Nugget or Pressure Chief but they did respond to the Question will they stay in the same sound? Will they have those glorious horns? and they did they had that. But Noah had lacked the happy uber aura of bliss they had in the Peaceful...me Down and especially in the song 5 years time they crushed my expectations and they stomped on em with dirty shoes.
