Round 4

Sadie Hawkins Dance (2)
Pressing On (7)

 

Thanks for all your work. It's certainly helped me revisit some of these albums that I hadn't listened to for years and it's been interesting to see the opinions on a diverse and enjoyable back catalogue.

 

Word! Thanks. Sorry, I forgot we started this round early.

Round 4 FINAL SCORE

Sadie Hawkins Dance (2)
Pressing On (7)



Pressing On presses on to the champ bracket. Sadie is on stand by.

Self titled coming momentarily

 

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.

Nice! It's always great when you randomly get introduced to a band like that. Two Lefts was the first album I bought from them too (surprised it wasn't Mmhmm since it had just come out) and my entry point as well. Changed my life haha

Self-Titled actually really holds up, listening to it now. The melodies/harmonies are really good and give it a sound that's really different than anything else they've done.

 

I definitely need to listen to this again if I want to vote. It's been too long.

My Xanga in high school was definitely called "On a balloon ride"....

 

Oh Xanga!

Mine was called 'The Gnome Site'. Nothing to do with RK...!

 

My Girlfriend - totally forgotten about this one. Hilarious.

I haven't been participating because I really haven't kept up with their discography (I know, I need to go back and revisit or visit their albums). Anyway, I have some fond memories associated with their self titled album.

I was pretty involved in my church's youth group when I was in high school so I went to all of the events - conferences, concerts, mission trips, etc. We had this one conference back in 2000 right around when the self titled album came out and Relient K played at it. I live in northeastern Ohio and that's right where Relient K is from. They were really fun to see, even though it's pretty weird watching a concert standing in a pew haha.

After they played I remember me and a couple friends buying their cd and meeting them at their merch table. It was all a pretty awesome experience for someone who hadn't gone to many concerts at that point and I will always remember it for its unique circumstances.

Totally unrelated youth group concert sidenote-back in 2001 I saw Skillet and Thousand Foot Krutch play an outdoor show at the beach (on Lake Erie) where I live. There must've only been around 100 people there and it was primarily youth groups. Kind of neat to see where those groups have gone from there!

Listened to S/T again for this and dang I don't remember liking it as much as I did. I may even have to put it ahead of Anatomy now. I think most of the songs hold up pretty well.

 

Relient K in a pew - pretty fun!
