Love Was Still Around Cure For The Enemy Viking Death March Dead Silence Hanging By a Thread Runnin' Across The Tracks
Tears into Wine is a banger but I'm staggered by the lack of love for Turn Your Back (though I will confess the second version they did with Anti-Flag is just *better*)
Still want to give it another thorough listen or two to get a better idea of each individual matchup, but man this album is soo much better than III. I'm so glad they were able to rebound nicely like this.
Love Was Still Around Cure for the Enemy Viking Death March Don’t Count on the Wicked Stand Up and Run Runnin’ Across the Tracks
Crooked Minds Cure For The Enemy Man Alive! (This one was tough) Don't Count On The Wicked (Another tough one) Hanging By a Thread Runnin' Across The Tracks (Could really go either way on this one)
This was my first time hearing a lot of these songs, but I think it's definitely a big step up from III!
Crooked Minds Cure For The Enemy Viking Death March Dead Silence Stand Up And Run Swallowed Up By The Ocean Great album.

First time jamming the album and it's pretty good! Also love the album art, probably their best. -Crooked Minds -Cure For The Enemy -Viking Death March -Dead Silence (this was pretty tough actually) -Hanging By a Thread (another hard one. I like how well they pulled off a softer type song with Stand, but Hanging is a lot of fun) -Runnin' Across The Tracks

Unrelated to the bracket, but I bought my dad the Hits cd for part of his Father’s Day gift. I don’t normally buy greatest hits albums, but I thought it’d be a good starting point for him since he’s only familiar with a few of their songs. (I also don’t buy cds normally, but he hasn’t really embraced the digital era yet haha)
