Story of the Year - Wolves (December 8th, 2017) Album • Page 46

I'm not into dark magic.

 

You mean this metal bird?

 

Pokemon logic.

 

I want to see them live again like ASAP. They need to do a proper tour

 

That speech Dan gave about how hard it is to be in a band and make money was tough. I think Scream It Like You Mean It might be the last time we see them do a full on tour

SOTY is the only real silver lining about living in STL lol

 

Luckily that was an easy 4.5 hour drive and I’m more then willing to keep making it for them lol

 

One of our systems is down at work so I have extra time on my hands..... here is my dream setlist going with their standard 18 song set. I used the opening 3 from last Saturday's show because it really was perfect.

1. And the Hero Will Drown
2. How Can I Go On
3. Dive Right In
4. Stereo
5. The Dream is Over
6. Bang Bang
7. Angel in the Swamp
8. Miracle
9. Won Threw Ate
10. Apathy Is a Deathwish
11. Our Time is Now
12. Sleep
13. The Antidote
14. Choose Your Fate
15. Goodnight My Love *with extended outro jam for sure*

Encore:
16. The Children Sing
17. Welcome To Our New War
18. Is This My Fate?" He Asked Them

I would probably retire from going to concerts after this, because what could live up to this?

 

Mine:

1.How Can We Go On
2. And The Hero Will Drown
3. Dive Right In
4. We Don't Care Anymore
5. Take Me Back
6. Our Time is Now
7. Miracle
8. Anthem of Our Dying Day
9. Bang Bang
10. Youth/I Swear I'm Okay
11. Goodnight My Love
12. Sidewalks
13. The Antidote
14. A Part Of Me
15. My Home
16. Praying For Rain
17. Angel In The Swamp
18. Is This My Fate?

Encore:
The Children Sing
Won Thew Ate
Cannonball
Until the Day I Die

 

1. You cheated on set length.
2. This is basically the one we just saw lol. It was amazing so no hate though.

 

I’m just going off the size of most headline sets I’ve seen recently lol

 

Jumping around gets tiring. These old guys can only do 15-18 now haha. Remember, Dan's arm almost fell off.

 

They can handle it I think

 

And yeah it’s basicaly that perfect setlist with just a couple missed songs on it lol

 

I love the tones on ITWOD so much. So beefy.

 

I'll throw my album ranking out there:

Wolves>The Black Swan>The Constant>Page Avenue>In The Wake Of Determination

 

1. The Black Swan

Best songs: Every single song.

Worst songs: None.

2. In the Wake of Determination

Best songs: "Is This My Fate?" He Asked Them, Wake Up the Voiceless, Our Time Is Now, Sleep

Worst songs: None.

3. The Constant

Best songs: The Children Sing, The Dream Is Over, Won Threw Ate, To the Burial

Worst songs: Remember a Time

4. Page Avenue

Best songs: Until the Day I Die, Anthem of Our Dying Day, Sidewalks, In the Shadows

Worst songs: Razorblades, Fiji (from unreleased version, haha)

5. Wolves

Best songs: A Part of Me, How Can We Go On, Bang Bang

Worst songs: Can Anybody Hear Me, Like Ghosts, Praying for Rain

 

Like Ghosts and Praying For Rain are fantastic

 

I’m not a big fan of the spoken word section of Praying for Rain, but the rest of it is absolutely killer. Like Ghosts and Can Anybody Hear Me are my least faves.

 

After the spoken word part of Praying for Rain, the build up "So take my heart, so take my blood, it's only love" into the guitar solo is fucking amazing.....but that's after like minute mark 5 so I dunno if I love the song or not haha.

 

I love you saying "worst" instead of "bad" because they have no bad songs! I agree with the Constant and Page songs. For Black Swan I'd go Cannonball and In the Wake would be Five Against the World.

 

Don't be mean to Can Anybody Here Me!

 

I still love that song. But it is my least favorite on wolves

 

Yeah probably the same.

 

Yeah, I actually don't think they have a single bad song. I do however think there are some that are a little boring, too simple, modern or poppy on Wolves. As I always say, not a fan of the electronic parts.

I agree on both Cannonball and Five Against the World, but I don't think they're bad. The guitar solo on the latter is absolutely killer.
