Yeah I really enjoyed the production on Ghost Town but then comes the voices... yeah thank u next

Then again, Courtney Barnett's track comes across as solid but inanimate background music, but it's fine enough to listen to without me eventually wanting to throw my headphones in the fire, so a tepid vote of approval here.

I feel there are some striking similarities between the two songs, namely that they're charming, somewhat lazy dirges that feature some clunky lyrics and lack the necessary dynamism to make me really care about them. Both pale into comparison to similar songs in their respective artists' back catalogues, but both are pleasant and likeable. I actually like all the vocals on show in this matchup. Vote to 'Ghost Town' because it's more in my wheelhouse, but coulda gone either way, albeit without a whole lot of enthusiasm.

Unlike Gowi, I don't get more excited by a more miserable toned voice.

It was noted that Ghost Town has 4 vocalists, all bad, and that's a fair assessment. But the least among them is less annoying than Courtney. This woman couldn't carry a tune in a bucket.

I really want to vote for both songs here. I can hardly believe I am voting for Kanye over Courtney (who I just saw live a couple of weeks ago) but this is the only song off Ye I thought was excellent and it just beats out Hopefullessness. Although there's three other songs from Courtney's album that would have got my vote over Ghost Town.

Ghost Town may not be bad. But this is in my opinion the song of the year 2018 the most overestimate on BEA. It is easy to prefer Courney Barnett here. Hopefulessness gets my vote.

Ghost Town. Probably my favourite pick off Ye... almost wish it was on Kids See Ghosts.

Every time I think about Ghosttown I remember that "I put my hand on a stove to see if I still feeeel" line, and I think that surely I imagined it because surely it's too ridiculous to have actually been there. But every time I hear the song it's still there, over and over and over.

Vote to Courtney.

In terms of production and lyrics, Ghost Town is one of the best songs on Ye. But the vocals are... not good. Four artists on the track and none of them sound good.

Hopefulessness is my pick.
