Anberlin Band • Page 49

We currently have a tie!

Breaking: 6
Disappear: 10

Feel Good Drag: 8
The Resistance: 8

 

If you have to break the tie I feel for you having that on your shoulders.

I think Resistance is a better song but we don't have the NTFP version of Feel Goo D Drag in the running anymore so I wouldn't be mad if that one won.

 

I think we should do a bracket of all the songs that won the brackets

 

Don't wanna be that guy, but..

Disappear
Feel Good Drag

 

Yea as i said during the NTFP bracket it feels weird having the inferior one progress but it is still a damn good song.

Yep, that’s what we do. There will be a wild card round as well with the runners up


We have a temporary tie breaker:

Breaking: 6
Disappear: 11

The Resistance: 8
Feel Good Drag: 9

 

sorry, I meant in a broader sense. Like Thrice winner vs. Anberlin winner vs. Yellowcard vs. Gaslight, etc.

 

Ooh my bad. I would be so down for that, it may actually have been proposed. Perhaps for March madness haha what say you, @BTDandFeelingThis

 

Disappear
Feel Good Drag

*Love The Resistance but FGD is a top 5 Anberlin for me

 

It is Inferior for sure. Shorter last chorus and no scream

That new intro they added to it rocks. If there was a way to put the intro for the NS version onto the NTFP one, it'd be perfect haha.

 

I’d so be down for that


Though as father of brackets I declare the winner of Brand New automatically fucks off because that band is gross now

 

I'm cool with that haha

 

Good. I’d have to try and recount who won every bracket I ran.

Blink-182: Feeling This

Taking Back Sunday: One-Eighty By Summer

My Chemical Romance: Famous Last Words

Linkin Park: Faint

Off the top of my head.

 

Jimmy Eat World: 23

Thrice: The Earth Will Shake

Motion City Soundtrack: Even If It Kills Me

Gaslight: The Backseat

Alkaline Trio: All On Black

Relient K: When I Go Down

 

Story Of The Year: TBD

 

Every Time I Die: Petal
Silverstein: Smile In Your Sleep (I think?)

 

And YC will be done today or tomorrow

 

I'm calling it now "Is This My Fate". Now back to the grave for me.

 

We might just have a Copeland bracket before then, too (I'm hoping)!

 

Couldn’t remember if it was this or call It Karma but now that i think about it, pretty sure it was SIYS. Ugh so many better songs I’d want new listeners/voters to hear. Still great though

 

I’m partial to the New Surrender version because of the intro and that sweet ass pinch harmonic in the solo.

 

Years ago I combined the intro and I think what are you referencing in the solo into the NTFP version. I think I did a poor job at making it sound like the same song though.... lol

 

NS version is awesome. Don't get the "inferior" comments at all.

 

I still love this version BTW. I just feel like out of differences, the cons outway the pros.

 

I think that, for the most part, the differences to the versions are very insignificant. I never really understood the backlash people had to them re-recording and re-releasing it. It’s the most successful thing they ever did.

Having said that, personally I prefer the original because I associate with the group of songs from NTFP, so it’s never felt like a NS song to me.

But, when it comes to the actual recordings, I don’t really see much of a difference beyond the intro and the scream.

 

Agreed on the bold points for sure. I didn't hear of a ton of backlash but that is dumb, even from someone who loves the NTFP version more.
