Relient K Band • Page 58

I Need You is fantastic.

 

I think it's good, but it sounds so much like "Devastation and Reform" where they pull off that same rock and roll sound a lot better (though I'm sure many would argue for the opposite).

 

All three of those would be in the upper half of any of their other non-FANSD albums. I think "I'm Taking You With Me" and "Devastation and Reform" are the two weakest on there and they're still cool songs.

 

I like both a lot.

 

Give, Suicide , and Deathbed are some of my least favorite for sure

 

Two of my top 3 RK songs, ha.

 

Typical haha

 

"The Best Thing" is easily my least favorite song on the record. Always has been.

 

I loved it for about a week in Novemeber 2007(?) when I thought the girl I had a crush on liked me the same way. She did not. Otherwise, yea, it's a very basic pop love song. Not super engaging to me.

 

You think so? I think FSASYA is very overproduced.

 

I think I'd agree with Five Score having the best production of all their albums.

 

Relient K-Five Score and Seven Years Ago FACE OFF

ROUND 4 FINAL RESULTS

Deathbed (7)

Come Right Out and Say It (1)

Deathbed advances to the champ bracket and Come Right Out prepares for the runner up bracket.

Mmhmm begins shortly

 

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 a 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). The run rule is pretty much dead haha
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.

RELIENT K MMHMM FACEOFF
---------------------------------------

ROUND 1

Which to Bury; Us or the Hatchet? vs. More than Useless

Life After Death & Taxes (Failure II) vs. The Truth

Who I Am Hates Who I've Been vs. Apathetic Way To Be

The Only Thing Worse Than Beating A Dead Horse is Betting On One vs. The One I'm Waiting For

My Girl's Ex-Boyfriend vs. Be My Escape

When I Go Down vs. Let It all Out

Maintain Consciousness vs. This Week the Trend

High of 75 vs. I So Hate Consequences

Go!

No byes this time. Used B-sides to even things up.

 

Can b-sides be left out? They aren’t really even b-sides, apathetic is a separate release

 

Which to Bury; Us or the Hatchet?
The Truth
Apathetic Way To Be
The Only Thing Worse Than Beating A Dead Horse is Betting On One

With votes already in I guess the Apathetic EP tracks stay in. In that case:

More than Useless

Life After Death & Taxes (Failure II)

Who I Am Hates Who I've Been

The One I'm Waiting For

Be My Escape

When I Go Down

This Week the Trend

I So Hate Consequences

 

I wanted to do it without any byes and using Them was the only way to do so.

As well, they are apart of some of the vinyl releases.

 

You didn't vote for 2 matches and your votes do not count right now
