I enjoy doing track-by-track polls pitting new albums against prior albums by artists I like, but due to the double-disc format of Miranda Lambert's new CD, it's basically impossible to pit it against Platinum in that manner. However, the two discs of the album -- The Nerve and The Heart -- each have 12 songs so what I can do is pit those two together, so... that's what I decided to do. Vote for your favorite in each match-up (i.e. track 1 of the first disc vs. track 1 of the second... and so on)! List for easy copy-pasting: 01. Runnin' Just in Case vs. Tin Man 02. Highway Vagabond vs. Good Ol' Days 03. Ugly Lights vs. Things That Break 04. You Wouldn't Know Me vs. For the Birds 05. We Should Be Friends vs. Well-Rested 06. Pink Sunglasses vs. Tomboy 07. Getaway Driver vs. To Learn Her 08. Vice vs. Keeper of the Flame 09. Smoking Jacket vs. Bad Boy 10. Pushin' Time vs. Six Degrees of Separation 11. Covered Wagon vs. Dear Old Sun 12. Use My Heart vs. I've Got Wheels Overall: The Nerve vs. The Heart

Love both sides but this was really lopsided just because of which songs went up against each other.
01. Runnin' Just in Case vs. Tin Man 02. Highway Vagabond vs. Good Ol' Days 03. Ugly Lights vs. Things That Break 04. You Wouldn't Know Me vs. For the Birds 05. We Should Be Friends vs. Well-Rested 06. Pink Sunglasses vs. Tomboy 07. Getaway Driver vs. To Learn Her 08. Vice vs. Keeper of the Flame 09. Smoking Jacket vs. Bad Boy 10.

Most of these match-ups were fairly easy despite love for all of the songs on this album. I got really lucky with the ordering on this album because there were only a couple contests that I felt bad for, like wanting to be able to vote for "Tin Man" because it's beautiful but I just like the vocal and melody of "Runnin' Just in Case" a bit too much. Overall, based on the tracklisting, I prefer The Nerve side a fair bit more, but I still love the other half just as much. :)
