Paper Walls is definitely a top 3 album by them. The Takedown, Cut Me Mick, and Paper Walls are just a few of their bangers. I’ll tune in!
I love Paper Walls but I don’t understand why they dropped Bombers from the album on Spotify. It was an excellent album closer and one of my favorite songs by them.
I think The Takedown is my favorite YC song of all time. I will definitely be watching this and I am stoked.
I think it was a bonus track wasn’t it? It had been on Spotify and then one day when I went to play it for like the 5th day in a row it had dropped off :(
The first four tracks are just 11/10, balls to the wall bangers. The whole record is fantastic and my personal YC favorite, but those stand apart. That they didn’t get big again after this collection of songs is a huge label failure.
The failure here was Yellowcard not following up Ocean Avenue with this album instead of all the time spent on Lights and Sounds. Don’t get me wrong I thought at the time LS was ok but I was really disappointed on first listen (now I love it). This would have probably kept them pretty big if it was the OA follow up.
