...Is a Real Bracket Bracket • Page 5

Woe
Alive with the glory of love

I want to know your plans
It's a metaphor

Chia-Like, I Shall Grow
Wow, I Can Get Sexual Too

 

"I Want to Know Your Plans" is a wondeful ballad, but please god do not let "Chia-Like" go like this

 

Woe
Alive With the Glory of Love
The Futile
I Want to Know Your Plans
Wow, I Can Get Sexual Too

 

Woe
Yellow Cat (Slash) Red Cat
Spidersong
I Want to Know Your Plans
It's a Metaphor, Fool

 

Woe
Yellow Cat (Slash) Red Cat
Spidersong
I Want to Know Your Plans
Wow, I Can Get Sexual Too

 

Woe
Alive With the Glory of Love
The Futile
I Want To Know Your Plans (that was actually a really hard one and I think I'll always question either decision I make)
It's A Metaphor, Fool

 

I knew I'd hate this round.

 

Belt (toughest choice)
Alive With the Glory of Love
The Futile
I Want to Know Your Plans
Wow, I Can Get Sexual Too

 

Woe
Yellow Cat (Slash) Red Cat
The Futile
I Want to Know Your Plans
Wow, I Can Get Sexual Too

 

If Alive With the Glory of Love doesn’t win the bracket, this is stupid. I can understand fatigue with the song, but it’s just great. One time at a show in Boston where Max didn’t play it, there was a full-train singalong (minus a few normal people who must’ve had no idea what the fuck was going on) of the song, and it was easily top ten greatest moments of my life. A hundred people coming together on a train to sing some random-ass non-radio song without preparation was just awesome.

 

That is cool.

But I'm still rooting for YC/RC (even though I know it won't win)

 

I'll be fine with Alive, Woe or Plans winning for IARB.

 

Belt is much much better than Woe.

My thoughts about this round:

I don’t like Woe nearly as much as most people

Yellow cat is one of my favorite songs of all time

Not voting for Chia-like hurts but Plans makes me cry nearly every time I listen to it

 

Belt
Alive With the Glory of Love
The Futile
Chia-Like, I Shall Grow
It's a Metaphor, Fool

It was sad to vote against IWTKYP but it wasn’t a hard choice. The Futile I’ve always had a soft spot for ever since they opened with it the first time I saw them. Belt vs Woe is brutal, both amazing songs.

 

Woe
Yellow Cat/Red Cat
Spidersong
Chia-Like, I Shall Grow
It's A Metaphor, Fool

Belt vs Woe is the only tough one for me, but Woe juuuust takes the cake

 

Chia-Like and IWTKYP are my two favourites from that album so I kinda got anxiety about it..... (Belt reference right there!)

 

Interrupting to announce four new albums by Max and his family: Help The Bemis Family Release 4 Free Bemis Family Albums

 

Whoops, a little late tallying this one.

...Is a Real Boy Round Three:

Woe vs.Yellow Cat (Slash) Red Cat
Spidersong (coin flip) vs.it's a Metaphor, Fool

And since it's wildly popular, the winner of the next two rounds will face "I Want to Know Your Plans" in the finals.

 

Yellow Cat (Slash) Red Cat
Spidersong

That last one is tough, but the Spidersong outro ("I am cool, too cool to call you...") might be my favorite moment on the whole album.

 

Woe
