..... I thought I was getting used to your hot takes over all this time lol, but this one is baffling.
Yeah I know you say that a lot but.....I dunno if you can chalk it up to that and use that as an excuse for this one. As a supposed SOTY fan, calling this one just straight bad feels like trolling.
I will admit that the first I listened to this album and had a disappointing WTF moment when Terrified never got heavy like when I had seen live pre album. Over time I've come around to loving it and couldn't imagine it being any different now. My top 5 heavy Story songs are: Won Threw Ate, New War, Fate, Choose Your Fate and Pay Your Enemy. Then I'd probably place Our Time is Now next and then Virus. Still a super kickass song and making that list got me pumped haha.
Or it’s my fucking opinion, dude, give it up. Jesus. I only said anything about it after someone called me out for literally just posting my vote, so you can fuck right off with calling me a troll.
Alright you two, cmon let’s keep this civil. @FTank is allowed to have his opinion, regardless if we agree with him or not.
Of course, you've been on the internet before right? Sorry I touched a nerve with the verbiage of Troll, I honestly could have worded that better. I apologize. As I said before though in another thread, you can't except to not be called out for things you know are outlandish, whether it's your opinion or not. Don't be salty please, we are all having fun and this is coming from the guy who waged war on Beggars and Razorblades without getting upset at the back and forth.
This time I would like to vote for Apathy Fate We're Not Gonna Make It Terrified Wake Up ANGEL IN THE SWAMP Welcome to Our New World Tell Me Thoughts: 1. I like every song on this record which is still their best. 2. The toughest choice was between New World/Message. Latter has the bigger chorus, former rips harder. 3. This record was a perfect blend of Page Avenue catchiness and In the Wake heaviness and it's a damn shame too many casual fans had jumped ship already, or it could have been as big as it deserved. Cheers for listening happy new year peace
Never Let It Go The Antidote We’re Not Gonna Make It The Virus Save One Angel In The Swamp Welcome To Our New World The Black Swan
Apathy Is A Deathwish The Antidote Cannonball Terrified Wake Up Angel In The Swamp Message To The World Tell Me (P.A.C.) Man, some of these first round matchups were ROUGH! Choose Your Fate vs. The Antidote, Welcome To Our New War vs. Message To The World, and Tell Me (P.A.C.) vs. The Black Swan were so hard for me. This album’s b-sides are really good too. Save One is probably my favorite, but The Virus is right up there. I just listened to this album for the last 1+ hours while cleaning the kitchen and I have to say, it made my chore much more enjoyable!
Currently: Never Let It Go -3 Apathy Is A Death Wish-8 Choose Your Fate-4 The Antidote -7 We’re Not Gonna Make It- 8 Cannonball-3 The Virus- 2 Terrified-9 Save One -2 Wake Up-9 Angel In The Swamp-9 Pale Blue Dot-2 Welcome To Our New World -9 Message To The World-2 Tell Me(P.A.C) -6 The Black Swan-5
Love that Apathy is doing well in both rounds. Underrated for sure. I new Tell Me and Black Swan would be close, but was pulling for BS.
I'll have to get in on the next band bracket. I haven't listened enough to SOTY to give any real vote.
I didnt say anything because I know on the dream set lists we did, multiple of you put it on. It's always been my least fav on the album (minus the interlude which has 2 votes somehow) Disclaimer: Cannonball still rules and has amazing riffs and solo.
