The Edge Of Tonight Tidal Waves Cinderblock Garden Missing You Old Scars/Future Hearts Kicking & Screaming Don't You Go Bottle And A Beat
The Edge of Tonight (love both of these songs, hard choice) Bail Me Out Runaways (I don't get the hype behind Cinderblock Garden, it's good but not great) Missing You Old Scars/Future Hearts Satellite Dancing with a Wolf (why does the two best songs on the album have to be matched up in the first round? Fuck this. Dancing With A Wolf is one of ATL's best ever though) How the Story Ends Overall this album is probably my second fave ATL album behind Nothing Personal. So good
CURRENT TOTALS The Edge of Tonight: 5 Kids in the Dark: 5 ---------- Tidal Waves: 9 Bail Me Out: 1 (gotta respect this) ---------- Cinderblock Garden: 8 Runaways: 2 ---------- Your Bed: 0 (as it should be) Missing You: 10 ---------- Old Scars/Future Hearts: 7 Something’s Gotta Give: 3 ---------- Satellite: 5 Kicking & Screaming: 5 ---------- Don’t You Go: 7 Dancing with a Wolf: 3 ---------- Bottle and a Beat: 3 How the Story Ends: 7
Satellites is easily a highlight of this album for me, but it's because of the 1-2 punch of Satellites into Kicking & Screaming. It builds up the tension really well and then it just releases as soon as Kicking & Screaming starts. I really like that approach to starting an album.

Kids in the Dark Tidal Waves Cinderblock Garden (unfortunate matchup, I really like Runaways) Missing You (never liked this that much but god I hate Your Bed) Old Scars/Future Hearts Kicking & Screaming (favorite on this album) Don’t You Go Bottle and a Beat

Kids in the Dark Tidal Waves Cinderblock Garden Missing You Old Scars/Future Hearts Kicking & Screaming Dancing with a Wolf Bottle and a Beat the Don't Panic results were crap, if OS/FH or Cinderblock don't win this i'm done!!!!
Thinking about it, after just listening to this, I'm not sure I ever heard this before. I sort of remember listening to Something's Gotta Give, not particularly liking it, and just ignoring the rest of the album. Some of the songs do sound vaguely familiar though and I wound up liking this much better than I thought I would. Anyway, I'll try not to miss any matchups this round: Kids in the Dark (hard matchup, Edge feels almost like a precursor to the sound they went for on LYR, but I think I prefer Kids) Tidal Waves (don't particularly like either, but I prefer Tidal Waves) Cinderblock Gardens (not sure I agree with the consensus that this is one of the two best on the album, but it's a good song) Missing You (this one's OK, but I really don't like Our Bed) Old Scars/Future Hearts (favorite song on the album vs. my least favorite, so easy matchup) Satellite (really think this a good opener to the album) Dancing With a Wolf (I'm a bit surprised about how much I liked this song) How the Story Ends

The Edge of Tonight (almost went the other way on this) Tidal Waves Cinderblock Garden (devastating matchup) Missing You Something's Gotta Give Kicking & Screaming Dancing With a Wolf Bottle and a Beat (how is this losing?)
1a) The Edge of Tonight 1b) Tidal Waves 1c) Cinderblock Garden Tough 1d) Missing You ..couldn’t find your bed on Spotify. Default win. 1e) Something’s Gotta Give 1f) Kicking & Screaming 1g) Don’t You Go 1h) Bottle and a Beat ... couldn’t find either. Is there deluxe?
Gonna sit this round out and join in on the next one as it seems all the ones I remember are going through anyway aha.

The Edge of Tonight Tidal Waves Cinderblock Garden Missing You Old Scars/Future Hearts Kicking and Screaming Dancing With a Wolf (best track vs one of the worst) How the Story Ends
That’s the first time I’ve seen that take about Dancing With a Wolf, I think it’s one of their worst songs ever
it's in the top half of the album. should never lose to Don't You Go also How The Story Ends totally rips off the entire chorus of a song i can't remember now
