The Changing Of Times used to be the only release of theirs I had on vinyl until the Rebirth tour. At least a couple years of just that lol
I just tried to listen to some of TCOT and yeah, it’s just not good imo. I kind of like When The Sun Sleeps, but really only kind of.
here for it but probably won't really participate until after TCOT, i don't even remember a lot of that record at this point and have no desire to revisit
Just a reminder to all that we'll start this up tomorrow morning! If you haven't listened to The Changing of Times in a bit and plan on participating, now would be a good time to listen :)
Ok, let's get this started! A few quick notes/reminders before we start: 1) Brackets are made with a random bracket generator - if you don't like the matchups, don't blame me! 2) We'll start with The Changing Of Times and move forward - the order that we do the brackets in will be what is listed in the first post. 3) In order for your votes to count, you must vote for every matchup in a given round. It is not required to vote for every round in a particular bracket. 4) Each round will be open a minimum of 24 hours, regardless of vote totals. Weekend rounds may last a little longer. I know some brackets in the past have had a "run rule" but I'd like this to be a somewhat more relaxed schedule and I don't want people to feel like they have to be checking this thread constantly for fear of missing out on a round. If anyone has questions throughout, please ask! Now on to 2002's The Changing Of Times! Round One: Letting Go Of Tonight vs. Angel Below A Message For Adrienne vs. 814 Stops Today -------------------------- Round Two: Match 1 Winner vs. Short Of Daybreak The Best Of Me vs. Alone In December Match 2 Winner vs. Never Meant To Break Your Heart The Changing Of Times vs. When The Sun Sleeps Round One begins now!
None of these songs are ones that stand out much to me. I'll go for... Angel Below A Message For Adrienne 814 Stops Today always felt like a lame way to end the album, particularly after Alone In December. So the second match up really feels like an easy choice. I've gone for Angel Below because I like the synth on it. It makes the song a bit more interesting. In terms of this album, I think it is hampered by some of the more incoherent screaming. If you were to play me a song, I genuinely couldn't really tell you which song is which outside When The Sun Sleeps and Alone In December.
Early Totals: Letting Go Of Tonight - 0 Angel Below - 2 A Message For Adrienne - 2 814 Stops Today - 0
Angel Below Message It's unfortunate that "When The Sun Sleeps" will run away with this, because "Angel Below" might be the best song on the record.
Current Totals: Letting Go Of Tonight - 1 Angel Below - 3 A Message For Adrienne - 4 814 Stops Today - 0
Angel Below A Message For Adrienne Angel Below more of a complete song than Letting Go Of Tonight. More memorable parts A Message For Adrienne might be my favorite song on the record. That opening riff is so heavy. Pretty easy going up against 814
Current Totals: Letting Go Of Tonight - 1 Angel Below - 5 A Message For Adrienne - 6 814 Stops Today - 0
hey if you could tag me as well that would be cool! I'll be checking back periodically but I don't wanna miss out on that TOCS bracket when it comes up
Letting Go of Tonight A Message for Adrienne A few years ago I would’ve picked Angel Below but it hasn’t really held up well for me even though it does have some pretty cool riffs. The bells are just too corny.
someone @ me when chasing safety starts. I personally don't see the point in starting before that one
Honestly I'm partly doing this one to counter all the people saying they won't be doing it until TOCS haha but I get it
