For me it's that I simply don't agree that Brand New Start is a great song. It's an alright song with an amazing guitar solo, but if it wasn't for that guitar solo I'd almost certainly skip the song almost every time I listen to the album.

It's just never done anything for me, musically or lyrically. :bored

I actually like all of the songs a lot, but Ghost Of Days Gone By is one of the greatest AB songs for me.

Sometimes I wish I could see what is so special about Ghosts (the same applies to Open Your Eyes).
But I have the feeling that one day I'll be a fan of that song. I really enjoyed the acoustic performances and the live version with the orchestra surprised me a lot too.

Glad to see Ghost doing so well. It seems like it's finally won over a big part of the fan base. That song has resonated with me from day one.

It's fine. I've always liked it.

Bleed It Dry is next level.

Ghosts is ok but it’s just middle of the pack for me, and the solo on Bleed It Dry is incredible but the rest of the song is just too choppy for my taste. Brand New Start is just so elegant and beautiful from start to finish. I’m super sad that it’s going to get beat.

Ghost gets my vote, as it did last time. That song is classic AB in my mind, it has aged tremendously well.

You know, I didn't think with Open Your Eyes, Brand New Start, and Bleed it Dry in the line-up, I didn't think Ghost of Days Gone By would win this five years ago. Time does change perspectives.

I like Ghosts, I lIke Bleed It Dry. But Brand New Start has one of the best clean verse riffs, one of the best big sing along choruses, Mark's most well-composed solo of all time imo, etc.

Sir, I must then ask... do you ever cry for the ghost of days gone by?

Winner: Ghost Of Days Gone By

... which is the second battle out of three so far that has seen a different winner than last time. Brand New Start won the Last Hero battle, but only comes in third in this edition, with Bleed It Dry only losing the battle by a single vote.
