Ghost of St. Valentine is one of my favs. RE: Vacancy: every song on that album sounds like a lesser version of a song already in their catalog. The similarities between The Ghost and No One Understands are insane.
TWW > Vacancy > Bayside > Shudder > Killing Time > Cult > Sirens Top 5 are some some my favorite records. Still love the other two.
Way better lyrics and production on TWW. Going to hear both live tomorrow and I’ll be on cloud 9 for all of it, but if I had to pick one of two, it’s TWW. I legit had to skip this song haha. I was all about it when it first came out.
Killing Time Bayside Shudder The Walking Wounded Cult Vacancy Sirens I haven’t spent a ton of time with the lower three, so that’s based off the few songs I know from each.
Because you've all been dying to know... Sirens Bayside Killing Time Vacancy Shudder The Walking Wounded Acoustic album (if it counts) Cult
KT S/T TWW Vacancy Cult Sirens Shudder I'd consider Bayside one of the most consistent bands out of our scene. Ranking their records really just comes down to personal preference, because all of them are good/great. I'm surprised Vacancy didn't get more love on here, I loved that record.
