A Great Fire
The End
Vices (another savage matchup)
Broken Stars

 

A Great Fire Vs Born Dead might have been the hardest decision for me yet

 

American Dream
A Hero Loses Every Day
A Great Fire
The End
Vices
Broken Stars

 

American Dream
I Knew I Couldn't Trust You
A Great Fire
The End
Vices
Broken Stars

The Vices vs. You're All I Have matchup was extremely hard for me. That really could've gone either way. A Great Fire vs. Born Dead was another tough one.

 

I don't think I've ever seen A Great Fire live and that bums me out

 

While DTW will prob always be my favorite, I think ASITS is still their best album musically, lyrically, conceptually.

 

I saw it right after the record came out and I got the setlist after the show. For some reason , it was listed as "Red Carpet" on the setlist

 

Silverstein Setlist at House of Blues, Anaheim Silly me. They fucking opened it the first time I saw them haha but nothing since 2011.

 

Current scores:

We Are Not the World - 1
American Dream - 9

A Hero Loses Every Day - 5
I Knew I Couldn't Trust You - 5

A Great Fire - 8
Born Dead - 2

Their Lips Sink Ships - 0
The End - 10

Vices - 7

A Great Fire Vs Born Dead - love the guest vocals from Scott Wade

Onto the next round; some beefy matchups here:

American Dream Vs A Shipwreck In The Sand

I Knew I Couldn’t Trust You Vs A Great Fire

The End Vs I Am The Arsonist

Vices Vs Broken Stars

Begin!

 

You’re All I Have is an awesome song, kinda regretting picking Vices (another awesome song though) over it :/

 

Their cover of Help is so damn good. Shane sounds perfect on it.

 

The End vs. Arsonist is impossible, quite possibly two of my top 5 favorite Silverstein songs, and my top 2 off this album, but that being said:

American Dream
A Great Fire
Arsonist
Vices

 

A Shipwreck In The Sand (impossible choice. Probably the 2 best songs)

A Great Fire

The End

Broken Stars (VERY tough choice again)

 

American Dream
A Great Fire
The End
Vices

 

I'm siding with my boy here. Also mad that I stopped getting notifications on this thread and missed round 1

 

Shipwreck
Fire
The End (that choice was impossible to make)
Vices

 

A Shipwreck In The Sand - what I feel to be a very underrated song that is essential to the album's concept.

A Great Fire - I'm mad Hero didn't move on to this round

The End - Nothing beats The End on this record unfortunately. However, Arsonist is one of Neil's best riffs from his time in the band

Vices - Live banger. Anyone else remember the demo version of Broken Stars they had on their myspace before the album was out? Some subtle differences, but I don't think I would have remembered it if it wasn't for the bracket so thank you!

 

Shipwreck
Fire
Arsonist
Vices
