180 Fred Astaire Little Devotional (tough choice, but I just love that bassline and lead guitar riff) Decade
One-Eighty By Summer I Am Fred Astaire (very, very tough) Little Devotional (even tougher) A Decade Under The Influence (not tough at all)
One-Eighty By Summer I Am Fred Astaire Number Five With A Bullet A Decade Under The Influence Very easy round
One-Eighty By Summer - I haven't listened to Follow the Format in years I Am Fred Astaire - Tough call for me because I really enjoy New American Classic, but I do listen to I Am Fred Astaire more so I guess that means I like it more? Little Devotional - I think this is one of the most underrated songs in their catalog. Just so catchy. A Decade Under the Influence - I'm already on record as saying The Union is my least favorite on the album and A Decade...is towards the top of my list, so this was an easy one
180 (Literally haven't listened to FTF in probably 13 years and even then only listened once or twice) New American Classic Little Devotional THE UNION
Fuck that match-up I know we're not at that round yet but it's imminent and I'm not happy about it already.
One-Eighty By Summer I Am Fred Astaire Little Devotional A Decade Under The Influence Oh man, this is already hard. Putting 180 against my favorite TBS b-side in the 1st round? That's just rude. Fred Astaire vs New American Classic is so tough as well. I love the acoustic guitar in that song, plus those strings at the end. But, then there's that moment in Fred Astaire where Adam belts out "ALL TIRED SCREAM SAFE HAVEN, LET'S GET THIS OUT AND ON THE TABLE". That one moment wins the match up for me. Knocking The Union out early also hurts me, but Decade is just a flawless song. Number five is probably my least favorite on the album. Very good song, but it lacks the energy of everything else on the record.
It's gonna seem like a finals matchup in round 2! Kind of like how MakeDamnSure vs. My Blue Heaven felt in round 2 of Louder Now. Even though MBH lost in the final round...
Every one of my favorite TBS songs has been up against the obvious favorite in the first round. I had a better friend in my worst of plans than I ever had in ANY of you.
180 By Summer New American Classic (always loved this song but never hear anyone talk about it) -Number 5 with a Bullet -A Decade (sucks to see Union go out so fast but...........bye!)
so many songs on this album are top tier for me, its my favorite TBS album. i voted for little devotional knowing its going to lose to number 5 but it's fine because theyre both such great songs and i wouldnt be surprised if number 5 sneaks its way into the finals.
