Silverstein Band • Page 38

Second half of Defend You is fucking crazy good. I assume it's going to lose but that's probably the song that's grown on me the most over the years.

 

I knew no one was gonna vote for the cover song so I decided to be that guy and make sure it wasn't swept lmao. As for the best Silverstein song, pretty sure I said sword versus dagger :)

 

Who cares if it gets swept? Vote for your favorite songs! Do I need to explain these brackets to you? ;)

 

That's not how these threads work, man. You used to look down on these things. You've changed man. This is the first time I've done this to you, and I really don't want to, but you've been reported!

 

All these matchups except for the cover are brutal

Defend You
Karma
Heroine
Blood

 

Despite being my 3rd or 4th favorite Silverstein album this one is crazy consistent. Not much potential here for insulting results.

Because I’ve grown to really like doing this:
Discovering the waterfront
The ides of March
Your sword versus my dagger
Defend you
Always and never
Already dead
Smile in your sleep
Call it karma
My heroine
Three hours back
Fist wrapped in blood
Rodeo clown

The top half are almost completely interchangeable. This is such a great guitar record.

 

You are right....what have I become...

I need to think about who I am now..

 

Ranking the album..

Call it Karma
Discovering the Waterfront
My Heroine
Fist Wrapped in Blood
Defend You
The Ides of March
Smile in Your Sleep
Already Dead
Your Sword Vs My Dagger
Always and Never
Three Hours Back

 

Why do you ALWAYS put my favorite songs at the bottom of your rankings. Why

 

Just to upset you.

 

Your Sword Versus My Dagger - the deluxe edition of DTW started it all for me and the live set from Chicago cemented my new love for the band. This song started the set and I've never looked back.

Call It Karma - Always and Never has one of my favorite choruses on the record. The whole song musically is executed so well, Call It Karma wraps up this beautiful album in way that I can't vote against it in this matchup (but I definitely will later)

Discovering The Waterfront - I swear if this song doesn't win the entire fucking bracket. I wish they'd play this more. It's my favorite song from Neil's era of the band.

Fist Wrapped In Blood - I love this song. I haven't gotten behind my drum kit in almost two years but this one was always fun to jam along to.

OMG the matchups for next round

 

Ranking of the album

Discovering The Waterfront
The Ides of March
Smile In Your Sleep
Fist Wrapped in Blood
Your Sword Versus My Dagger
Three Hours Back
Defend You
Call It Karma
Always And Never
My Heroine
Already Dead

I love all these songs, but I've always though Heroine was overrated

 

Sometimes it feels that way man lol

 

Your Sword Versus My Dagger
Call it Karma (my all-time fave Silverstein song)
My Heroine (impossible matchup)
Fist Wrapped In Blood

 

-Sword Vs My Dagger (Hard to believe a guitar riff this sick was written in standard tuning)
-Call It Karma (I love this song. Something about it is instantly lovable and relatable)
-Discoverng The Waterfront (6th Grade tearjerker)
-Fist Wrapped In Blood (Eh, don't care for either of these songs, but Rodeo Clown is the cover so...)

 

Defend You was matched against Sword

 

Shit, oops, I meant Fist Wrapped In Blood (Which I prefer to Defend You significantly)

 

Unpopular opinion but Three Hours Back is the quintessential Silverstein song

 

Your Fucking Sword Versus My Fucking Dagger
Call It Fucking Karma
My Fucking Heroine
Fist Wrapped In Fucking Blood

 

Sword (this one was tough)
Karma
Heroine
Fist

 

I'd pick Reel Big Fish- Sell Out instead

 

DISCOVERING THE WATERFRONT SHOULD BE THE ONLY BLOWOUT

Defend You: 2
Your Sword Versus My Dagger: 7

Call it Karma: 8
Always and Never: 1

Discovering the Waterfront: 5
My Heroine: 4

Fist Wrapped In Bloo: 8
Rodeo Clown: 1

 

You're totally nuts for not voting My Heroine. Why not just write Silverstein a death threat jesus.

 

Sword
Karma
Heroine
Blood

 

Dagger
Karma
Heroine
Blood
