Well that was easy. Paperthin Hymn: 12 Time and Confusion: 3 Paperthin Hymn takes the NTFP bracket! Cities will be up a little later today. As for b-sides, i believe they’re all on Long Songs, so i was just going to cap it at Fin unless there are any objections.
The 8 Bit version of Glass to Arson is the best song on Lost Songs and it would probably win the whole bracket honestly.
NEVER TAKE BRACKETS PERSONAL: THE ANBERLIN BRACKET TOURNAMENT Good evening everyone and welcome to Chorus's next iteration of the discography bracket challenges. It is my pleasure to host a bracket for yet another of my all time favorite bands and I’m excited to see how this shakes out. Quick review: these are randomly generated brackets (no seeding!) to determine a winner for each album, which will then face off in a Champions bracket to decide the best overall Anberlin song! Rules: 1. Voting over a 10-24 hour period, depending on closeness and how busy i am that day lolz. 2. You must vote on every match in a round; ill only vote in the event of a tie. I am, however, generous with giving my opinions. 3. Please discuss your choices; don’t give the anti-bracketers ammo! 4. Byes may be necessary. These are randomly generated; I do not pick them. 5. Counted votes are signified by me 'liking' your post; no vote changes. Choose wisely! A word from the wise: People change in the brackets. Oh find the best song if you can. But be very wary, you might just lose yourself along the way. ANBERLIN FACE OFF: CITIES ----- Round 1 1) Inevitable Vs. Dismantle. Repair. 2) (Début) Vs. Alexithymia 3) (*Fin) Vs. Godspeed 4) Reclusion Vs. The Unwinding Cable Car Round 2 Winner of 1 Vs Hello, Alone Winner of 2 Vs. There Is No Mathematics To Love And Loss Winner of 3 Vs. Adelaide Winner of 4 Vs. A Whisper & A Clamor Oy. Good luck and Godspeed.
Holy shit. All the heavy hitters being in this round with the weaker tracks getting a bye makes this super hard. -Dismantle. Repair. -Alexithymia -Godspeed (WTF with this match up! For me it came down to which one I jam the most) -Reclusion
Dismantle Alexi Godspeed Cable Car If you all knock out Cable Car this early for RECLUSION I'm going to be fuckin heated
1. Dismantle. Repair. 2. Alexithymia 3. (*Fin) 4. The Unwinding Cable Car I think if you fuckers actually vote out (*Fin) (the best song in Anberlin's discography) in the first round of Cities, I'll have an aneurysm. haha
Godspeed is great, don't get me wrong. But it's still probably only in the middle of Cities ranking wise. Crazily, the 4 I voted for + Reclusion (which I had a brief internal war about voting for or against) I would consider the top 5 on the album. So next round is going to be easy if all my votes win.
Godspeed was the first Anberlin song I ever heard 10 years ago and was what made me fall in love with this band. Can't vote against it Reclusion is Great Value Godspeed
I tried ranking the songs but the top 8 were too difficult. Reclusion’s my favorite but both acoustic songs are flawless. Hello alone and dismantle repair also remind me a lot of each other and I can’t pick one. My only problem with Fin is I think good closers have a weird advantage in the brackets. They’re always different, usually lyrically heavy, and if it’s good I feel like they almost have an automatic run to the finals, so in other brackets I think my mindset is sometimes “we know the closer is great, let the other song advance” lol
Reclusion is a great song and I wish they had more like it. I saw them open with it once and it ruled. Godspeed is an amazing song too, soooo much energy. I would have voted Fin over another other song really but Godspeed is a staple in a ton of my playlists.
Dismantle. Repair Alexithymia NOPE The Unwinding Cable Car I will not vote for one of my all time favorite album openers against one of my all time favorite album closers on my all time favorite album of all time. It's barbaric.
