Current Totals: Alone In December - 2 When The Sun Sleeps - 11 They’re Only Chasing Safety will be starting up soon :)
That’ll do it for The Changing Of Times! When The Sun Sleeps wins it over Alone In December by a total of 11-2. We’ll see both songs again later on in the championship bracket and wild card bracket, respectively. Now, on to They’re Only Chasing Safety!!! Several people mentioned that they were interested in participating once we started this album and a few asked to be tagged when we got to this point. I went through the thread and I think I have everyone here that fits into one of these categories: @nohandstoholdonto @trevorshmevor @Analog Drummer @Micah511 @mattav152 @teebs41 @DesolateEarth They’re Only Chasing Safety - Round One: I’ve Got Ten Friends And A Crowbar That Says You Ain’t Gonna Do Jack vs. Some Will Seek Forgiveness, Others Escape Down, Set, Go vs. I Don’t Feel Very Receptive Today The Impact Of Reason vs. The Blue Note —————————————— They’re Only Chasing Safety - Round Two: Match 1 Winner vs. I’m Content With Losing A Boy Brushed Red Living In Black And White vs. Young And Aspiring Match 2 Winner vs. Reinventing Your Exit Match 3 Winner vs. It’s Dangerous Business Walking Out Your Front Door Three quick notes: 1) The special edition demo tracks were left out of this bracket. There was some discussion in the thread regarding this topic. 2) These were such long titles to type haha 3) This round will be open for 48 hours. I realize that it’s the weekend, but hopefully this will give everyone ample time to listen and get their votes in. Round One begins now! Enjoy your weekend, everyone.
Some Will Seek — I cant go against Aaron Marsh having seen him do it with them live twice. Down, Set, Go — WHATEVER I SAY GOESSSSSSSSSSSSS The Impact of Reason
Haha I was actually just about to post something to the effect that The Impact Of Reason was essentially getting a bye here
Crowbar Down, Set, Go (the acoustic break in this song is one of my favorite parts of the album) Impact of Reason (I actually really like The Blue Note as an interlude but yeah... not really a worthy contender against any actual song on the album)
Current Totals: I’ve Got Ten Friends And A Crowbar That Says You Ain’t Gonna Do Jack - 4 Some Will Seek Forgiveness, Others Escape - 2 Down, Set, Go - 5 I Don’t Feel Very Receptive Today - 1 The Impact Of Reason - 5 The Blue Note - 1
-I’ve Got Ten Friends And A Crowbar That Says You Ain’t Gonna Do Jack -Down, Set, Go -The Impact Of Reason
Some Will Seek Forgiveness, Others Escape - as much as I like 10 friends, this song is great. Love Aaron Marsh’s guest vocals and the end with the screaming. I Don’t Feel Very Receptive Today - actually one of my favourites from the album. Edit: just realised I was thinking of “I’m Content With Losing”, haha. Bad mistake but doesn’t look like it’ll change things. Stupid longish song titles! The Impact Of Reason - I like the way The Blue Note goes into Dangerous Business but there’s no way I can vote for it over a proper song!
Hahaha. Impact is one of a few really dull tracks on this record imo, just nothing special about it. Feels like it just plods along until it’s over, like a bunch of pretty mediocre parts loosely strung together without a direction. The Blue Note obviously doesn’t hold a candle to the best cuts from TOCS but I’ve always thought it had a really cool atmosphere and I wish they had expanded on it more in a live setting at some point. The breezy, sorta jazzy drums going on are really cool too. If it had been up against any of the tracks I actually like from this record though, then yeah, it probably wouldn’t have stood a chance.
Some Will Seek Forgiveness, Others Escape Down, Set, Go. Love receptive but DSG’s verses might be my favorite part of the record. The Impact Of Reason I think my enjoyment of this album isn’t derived from nostalgia as much as it seems to be for a lot of people, but when the nostalgic vibes hit it’s really intense. Boy brushed red and understanding in a car crash were the big 2 that got me into screaming.
Current Totals: I’ve Got Ten Friends And A Crowbar That Says You Ain’t Gonna Do Jack - 7 Some Will Seek Forgiveness, Others Escape - 4 Down, Set, Go - 8 I Don’t Feel Very Receptive Today - 3 The Impact Of Reason - 10 The Blue Note - 1
I’ve Got Ten Friends and a Crowbar That Says You Ain’t Gonna Do Jack Down, Set, Go The Impact of Reason
I've Got Ten Friends and A Crowbar That Says You Ain't Gonna Do Jack Down, Set, Go The Impact of Reason definitely an easy round for me.
Some Will Seek Forgiveness, Others Escape (fuck, this one was way tougher than I thought it would be. Such a killer b-side) Down, Set, Go The Impact Of Reason
