WTF how I wasn't aware of this split? I've heard the songs in youtube and are fucking amazing, the vinyl is already sold out though.
Think it was for a coheadlining tour (thus the dates on the sleeve) that ultimately got cancelled and turned into a smaller acoustic tour (I don't remember the full details). There's a pink variant and a purple variant that were to be sold by each band on the tour and the dark green one was done later IIRC. They're about $20-25 on Discogs usually. I think there's also an NFG/Yellowcard split 7" from a tour they did together too if you haven't seen that one either.

probably Better Off Dead. maybe Sucker. Vegas would round out my top 3. whole album is great though and in my top 3 for their discography.
Better Off Dead and Sucker are my top two, as well. Third is a safe pick but gotta be Hit or Miss for the nostalgia alone. That song was on constant repeat for me way back when.
Hit or Miss since it’s on the release but since I’m not as crazy about the album version I’d probably say today my favorite would be Better of Dead. It’s been every other song at some point in time.
ballad for the lost romantics i cant believe its been 14 years since i saw them play this record for its 10 year anniversary lol
I take back my comment in wanting “Part of Your World” to be heavier because live it definitely comes across that way. I will also not be grumpy when they bust out “Let It Go” on certain tours. I think it works for this tour because there so many kids attending and it’s an easy song for them to recognize.
Anaheim definitely had a lot of kids in the crowd - if you’re going to play two Disney covers, not a bad place to do it. That was a blast.
