Don’t Call It A Comeback- I just Love a nice quick hard hitting song sometimes. Indoor Living- neither are favorites of mine. This one hits me just a tad more. My Favorite Accident-the song that made me want to check out the band. Hits so damn hard. Boom box Generation-they opened with this song the first time I saw them. Plus it just rocks. A-Ok- never understood why Future was so beloved. Again, neither are a favorite, so I’ll vote for the underdog. Perfect Teeth-just the stronger song
Modern Chemistry Autographs & Apologies Mary Without Sound Capital H A-Ok Perfect Teeth This is awful and I regret half my picks already.
In terms of the IATM songs that are super high-energy/aggressive, "Don't Call It A Comeback" is toward the top. But I'd listen to "Modern Chemistry" before it nine times out of ten. This is a heartbreaker but "Indoor Living" is top ten MCS songs ever material. Look, I like "My Favorite Accident," it's a solid song. But I've never had the connection to it the way a lot of other fans seem to. "Mary Without Sound," though? I've always had an almost inexplicable amount of love for that song, it's just got so many little moments that I love. I love Justin's vocals on it, I love the melody, I love the moog line, I love Tony's drumming on it. Just a great tune. This one is easy, "Capital H" by a lot. I had to leave this one til the end cause woof, this is the toughest of them all. One is essential MCS, the other is tied for third place of MCS Closers. But, I mean, it just has to be "The Future Freaks Me Out," right? Great, now I'll be thinking about this all night. I actually wasn't a huge fan of "Perfect Teeth" until I heard Limbeck's cover of it. For me, that's the definitive version of the song. Makes it an easy win for "Red Dress" which I have always loved. The back-up vocals on "it HANGS! DOWN! FRONT!" and "with Stars and Stripes" make me smile.
I don't think I ever listened to this band, but I will try to participate in this. Maybe I'll find a new band I like. I might miss some rounds though if I don't have time to listen to the songs.
Don't Call it a Comeback Indoor Living Mary Without Sound Capital H A-Ok Red Dress Perfect Teeth is one of my least favorites on the album. Red Dress is one of my favorites haha.
Don’t Call It A Comeback Indoor Living My Favorite Accident Capital H The Future Freaks Me Out Red Dress The last matchup was the only hard one, although I was upset not voting for A-Ok but Future Freaks Me Out is just so special

Modern Chemistry Autographs & Apologies My Favorite Accident Capital H A-OK Perfect Teeth The only difficult one for me was 'Future...'/'A-Ok' although 'Accident'/'Mary' was also a little tricky on second thought too.
We'd be happy to have you! It would be cool to get someone's opinion who's listening with a fresh ear.
Thank you for counting @Greg! Jamming I Am the Movie now. I've actually found this one to be my go to MCS over the last month. The one-two punch of Cambridge->Shiver gets me every time.
I'll try to participate as much as I can. I will be running the Thrice bracket in parallel to this (it will start after Silverstein ends so probably next Monday. I will avoid starting it on the weekend)
Hahhaa I love them all a ton. I would call CTTM my favorite, but there's really not a song I straight up don't like on any of their albums.
Morning update Don’t Call It A Comeback - 6 Modern Chemistry - 9 Indoor Living - 13 Autographs & Apologies - 2 My Favorite Accident - 9 Mary Without Sound - 6 Boombox Generation - 1 Capital H - 14 The Future Freaks Me Out - 11 A-Ok - 4 Perfect Teeth - 12 Red Dress - 3
CTTM and Go are definitely the most well rounded as albums, while there's something about how Eiikm and MDL flow that makes them more like collections of amazing songs.
The pink variant sold out pretty quickly yesterday. There is still a black version up if anyone was still wanting a copy.
