The Nashville EP FACE OFF

FINAL RESULTS!

There Was No Thief (3)
The Lining Is Silver (7)

Silver moves on to champs bracket while Thief gears up for the runner up bracket.

Five Score starting soon

 

Alright everyone, welcome to the RELIENT K FACE OFF. This will be NCAA style matches, with randomly generated brackets for each album facing off to decide which is the winner of each album. At the end of all of the albums, we'll do a finale Champions Bracket to decide the best overall Relient K song. We will start off with Air For Free and work our way backwards.

Due to the band's insane amount of B-sides, I may just do them as their own album, and just use the B sides from The Bird and The B Sides. Anyone against that? Any songs this would leave out that would ruin anyone's day? If so, let me know and I'll include a couple with some normal albums.
Update on B-sides: I decided to throw some random B-sides into the Bird and the Bee Sides bracket. So if you don't see a Bside with an album it should be there down the road.

Here are the rules:

1. Voting will take place over 10-24 hour period, depending on how close the matches are (if there's a wide margin too far to beat, the round may be run ruled to not waste time).
2. You must vote on every match in a round. If you don't your other votes don't count. Just reply to this thread with your choices. I will not vote unless there is a tie needed to be broken.
3. Feel free to discuss why you chose one song over the other and why you like that song. It's what helps keeps these fun!
4. I avoid byes into rounds if I can, but sometimes it's necessary. These are randomly generated I do not pick them.
5. Once your votes are counted, signified by me 'liking' your post, there are no vote changes. Choose wisely before posting!

And with that, let's begin.

Deathbed
Pleading the 5th
Must Have Done Something Right
I'm Taking You With Me
Up and Up
I Need You

deathbead vs bite my tongue fucked me up though

 

Deathbed

Pleading the 5th

Forgiven

Give Until There's Nothing Left

Up and Up

Faking My Own Suicide

 

Deathbed
Plead the Fifth
Must Have Done Something Right
Taking You With Me
Up and Up
I Need You

 

Bite My Tongue is my favorite on the album... but Deathbed is Deathbed... which made it a hard pick.

 

Deathbed
Pleading the 5th
Forgiven
I'm Taking You With Me
Up and Up
Faking My Own Suicide

 

Deathbed
Crayons (neither's gonna win so might as well have fun with this)
Must've Done Something Right
Give
Devastation and Reform
Faking My Own Suicide

Bite My Tongue going down in the first round SUCKS. Also had trouble with Up & Up versus Devastation but the latter is just too good.

What an album.

 

Deathbed
Crayons Can Melt On Us For All I Care
Forgiven
Give
Up and Up
I Need You

This is such a solid record! I'm going camping so probably won't be able to indulge in the thread over the weekend but I do love this album. So many fantastic RK songs. It was already a difficult task to pick them. No idea which will win to be honest!

 

Deathbed
-Tough, but..

Pleading the 5th
-I legit love this little intro.

Must Have Done Something Right

I'm Taking You With Me
-Easiest pick.

Devastation and Reform
-Dang it I love Up and Up

I Need You
-Used to dislike Faking My Own Suicide, but it's grown on me a ton.

 

Faking My Own Suicide is my least favourite track here I think. Never clicked with me.

 

I used to play Crayons to people to bug them. "Hey, everyone! Listen to this song..." Absolute gold, love that they're a band that knows how to be silly.

 

Deathbed
Pleading the 5th
Must Have Done Something Right
Give Until There's Nothing Left
Up and Up
Faking My Own Suicide

A few of these at not going the way I thought. This makes things interesting.

 

Yeah it took me a couple years before I truly enjoyed that song.

 

Man it's killing me Devastation and Reform isn't getting any love.

 

Faking My Own Suicide was my favourite RK song for like 9 years or some shit.

 

Faking My Own Suicide is musically not that interesting but more than that i really dislike the message of trivializing and faking suicide in order to emotionally manipulate a woman into being interested to you

 

I've always thought the entire song is tongue in cheek. Like, of course it's a terrible thing to do and the woman would CLEARLY not react well to the entire scenario, but the song itself is so hilariously oblivious to that.
