Semi-Charmed Bracket (Third Eye Blind) Bracket • Page 11

Yah Darwin is a weird closer. Imagine if they closed the album proper with that extended outro to Red Summer Sun.

 

I think Darkness would’ve made for the best closer

 

Tbh I feel like this album is really solid up until An Ode to Maybe and then significantly loses my attention after. It’s not that anything after it is bad, but there’s not a lot that really grabs me.

 

Ode to maybe is great

 

Farther is absolutely my favorite.

 

This is my favorite 3eb album!

Darkness
Anything
1,000 Julys
Camouflage
The Red Summer Sun

And this was way too hard..

And I knew this was gonna happen but it’s still sad to see my absolute favorite 3eb song of all time (Camouflage) and generally one of my favorite songs ever lose so badly!

 

This is the 3eb album I listen to probably least

 

Darwin and Deep Inside of You are the only songs in this album I could take or leave. Everything else is great.

 

Deep inside of you is beautifully crass and Darwin is just a really unique awesome song

 

yeah, I love the weird lyrics to it coupled with the acoustic instrumentation and cool beat that Brad lays down. I really didn't know how to pick between Darwin and RSS

 

Alright everyone, the Hawthorne Heights bracket has gone live with TSIBW over here:

Brackets Are For Lovers (Hawthorne Heights Bracket)

 

Darkness
Slow Motion
10 Days Late
Farther
Darwin

 

And with that, the first round of Blue comes to close! I was worried I might have to vote in two separate tie breakers, but we’ve averted a crisis yet again! The winners are highlighted in bold below...

Darkness - 6
Deep Inside of You - 11

Slow Motion - 9
Anything - 8

10 Days Late - 10
1,000 Julys - 7

Farther - 15
Camouflage - 2

The Red Summer Sun - 8
Darwin - 9

Also, speaking personally, I think “Darwin” is a fantastic closer! It takes a relatively somber (for 3EB anyway) album out on a bouncy, refreshing high note. Its deceptively simple structure rewards repeat listens, and that outro is just capital MmmHmm good!

In any case, Round Two coming up in just a minute!

 

Blue
ROUND TWO

1.) Deep Inside of You vs. Wounded
2.) Slow Motion vs. 10 Days Late
3.) Farther vs. An Ode to Maybe
