Hallelujah Miracle For a Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic That's What You Get Just listened to Miracle again while working this round and just wowowowow still hits me hard that song. LTFB vs TWYG is a really hard one but I'll give the edge to TWYG since it's the album version. EDIT: Speaking of album versions, are we gonna do a The Final RIOT! bracket?
Hallelujah Born For This (this was pretty much a coin flip) For a Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic Let the Flames Begin (I hate voting against either song here)
One of my favorite live dvds. Let the Flames Begin and Born to This on there are amazing and that cannot be overstated. The keyboard opening for Emergency is great too.
Hallelujah Miracle For a Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic That's What You Get TWYG over LTFB because the album version is not as strong as the live version. Born for This is good, but nothing tops Miracle for me.
Current scores: Hallelujah - 23 We Are Broken - 2 Born For This - 13 Miracle - 12 For a Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic - 25 Decoy - 0 Let the Flames Begin - 12 That's What You Get - 13
I still like LTFB more, but this is a great point. It may even have influenced my vote a bit because it's so good.
I don't do brackets for live albums. If you want to consider other versions of the songs to make your choices, you are free to do so though. Your reasoning is up to you.
This is my favourite live version of LTFB Everything - the all-round intensity, the drumming, Hayley's emotion, the lighting, the general sound. The extended outro is incredible. Blows the album version out of the water completely.
Damn missed a round! Oh well. Hallelujah Miracle For a Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic That's What You Get
Somebody vote decoy the songs are not thaaat far apart in quality I also apparently really need to hear this live version of LTFB bc even the current version losing to TWYG is absurd
Ah! I'm so sad I missed some of this bracket! Hopping in now. We Are Broken Miracle For a Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic That's What You Get
