"Won't Back Down" or "Not Afraid"?

Postby forgot_about_matt » Jun 7th, '10, 02:49

This is all the Recovery we're getting for about a week, so which do you prefer?

Both serve the purpose, but I'm addicted to "Won't Back Down".

I won't be seeing the video for a while. I don't have a computer (every post I've ever made here is from my Droid) and I refuse to watch it on my phone.

Not Afraid. WBD doesn't have much replay value for me.

Won't Back Down has better lyrics, flow, metaphors (too many though). But it just doesn't even make sense. He's just throwing random metaphors out and they don't piece together to form anything on the topic of "not backing down".

Not Afraid's beat is plain awful and his lyrics aren't anything special in it.. But I really enjoy the bridge for some reason.

Both have their downfalls. But Won't Back Down is better and Not Afraid is better to listen to and has much more replay value.

They both completely different. Not Afraid is emotional, like Beautiful. Won't Back Down is like We Made You.

On not afraid I though the beat was awful, the hook was abysmal, the bridge was horrible. The rapping in the verses was ok but I just couldn't really get past that other stuff. I just never really got on board with the track. I though Won't Back Down was exciting, I prefer that track.

Both tracks are good lyrically but I like the "Wont back down" beat alot better, Em always sounds good always tracks with Guitars in them, plus Boi1da's beat for Not Afraid is really boring and sounds like almost every other beat he makes, I really dont like that guy much........
