I have a couple questions... In Apple Music for me it’s showing 10 songs for the Ten Years and Counting album. I don’t have Falling Down or Burning Years. Anyone know what’s up with that? And didn’t we already cover The Unheard Voice? (during the ITWOD bracket)
I’m including it again to even out the brackets. Addressing Falling and Burning. My mistake! I forgot they weren’t on the ten years. Bracket has been adjusted
Alright, thanks! I’ve actually never listened to the 10 Years versions so I wasn’t sure if I was missing songs or what

-Page Avenue (10 Years Version) -Razorblades (10 Years Version) -Until The Day I Die (10 Years Version) -Anthem Of Our Dying Day (10 Years Version) -The Heart Of Polka Is Still Beating -Divide And Conquer(10 Years Version) This was an interesting round because I would have voted differently if these were the original songs.
Sidewalks (10 Years Version) Razorblades (10 Years Version) Until the Day I Die (10 Years Version) Anthem of Our Dying Day (10 Years Version) The Heart of Polka Is Still Beating The Unheard Voice
Sidewalks Razorblades Until the Day I Die Swallow the Knife The Heart of Polka is Still Beating Divide and Conquer Razorblades or Heart of Polka better win this thing.
Yeah I was actually going to vote Page because I like it as a song better, but the solo in Sidewalks deserved a vote.
Page Avenue (10 Years Version) Razorblades (10 Years Version) Until The Day I Die (10 Years Version) Anthem Of Our Dying Day (10 Years Version) The Heart Of Polka Is Still Beating Divide And Conquer (10 Years Version) This was my first time hearing most of these songs (or at least this version of the songs)!
Sidewalks is fine, but I don’t think the 10 Years version is too drastically different from the original album version. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
What ya think? I think Hero Will Drown and Dive Right in are better than the originals. Also love the piano version of Until the Day I Die with an unexpected guitar solo bridge.
They were enjoyable, but I think I prefer the original versions in general. Still, it was pretty cool to hear a new, fresh take on the songs!
Same here. I like that other songs sound so much different. For me Sidewalks and Shallow the Knife are amazing songs but on 10 Years and Counting they seemed like easy translations without a lot of work going into them like the rest of the album.
It’s also a little odd that they didn’t do 10 Years Versions for Burning Years or Falling Down. I’m sure there’s a reason (but I don’t know it)
Ran out if time they said. I would have loved to see what Burung Years and Falling down would have sounded like.

Sidewalks (10 Years Version) Razorblades (10 Years Version) Until the Day I Die (10 Years Version) (This song should win this bracket) Anthem of Our Dying Day (10 Years Version) The Heart of Polka is Still Beating Divide and Conquer (10 Years Version) I can’t take The Unheard Voice seriously as they were signed to a major label when they wrote it.
