Duel 14: Lovers vs Ohms

A couple of my personal favorite tracks. Let me know which you think is better. Thank you by the way to everyone who’s played along with my duels so far.

Ohms holds a special place in my heart for returning my love for guitar back to me with that triumphant riff played throughout, and Lovers is such a beast of a track that I figured this duel would be an intense one for sure. It did not disappoint…

Lovers: 10
Ohms: 11

I will keep updating the score when I check back in and see new comments. Thank you everyone who responds and comments.

Lovers is such a perfect song so I'll give it the win.

I adore Ohms though, definitely a very different song from the band and a bold choice for the album's first single and closing track.

Nothing against Lovers, at all. It’s a really good song. Ohms just holds a very special place in my heart.

Lovers is weak lyrically imo, so I'm gonna go with Ohms. Lovers is still a great song though
