    T&C – Toughest one for me. UB was the first Thrice song I ever heard and convinced me to check out the rest of this record, so it will always be special, but T&C is just an all around better song to me. Plus that solo!

    Under Par – TND is barely substantial enough to be its own track on the album. UP isn’t very good either, but at least it has some substance.

    As the Ruin Falls – This is more a vote against UA – that song just never ends – but ATRF shows some promise and the intro is at least pretty sweet.

    In Your Hands – This is at least partially nostalgia picking, but I was way into pop-punk when I first heard Thrice and this is about as close as they came to that sound. Among Dustin’s better vocal performances on this record (relatively speaking) and a really good melody. IC is a good song, but they do that sound better elsewhere on this album (and the next one).

    If to be everywhere is to be nowhere, then there are no shitty opinions on M/m to be found here.

    JK, WITW should not win anything unless it faces off against LTM, and even then I could go either way.

    When M/M was released, I remember everyone being hot on Words in the Water. Something happen lately for that amazing song to stop getting praise?

    Identity Crisis is such a fun album. Far from my favorite of theirs but I’ve always loved its energy.

    Don't think so. It still seems pretty universally loved among Thrice fans. I think I actually hear more about that song than M/M as a whole.

    The first two matchups were pretty easy decisions, but I really went back and forth on the third one. There's a lot to like about Unquestioned Answers, but I ultimately prefer the conciseness of As the Ruin Falls. It's been a long time since I've listened to this in full, but In Your Hands grabbed me the most.

    I feel like it was a real missed opportunity not calling this thread "To Bracket Everything is to Bracket Nothing"

    Running through this record right now to just ensure my thoughts are fresh.

    But off the top of my head, that T&C v Ultra Blue matchup is rough. I’ve always enjoyed both immensely.

    Thrice brackets are going to be agonizing.

    That's why I'm running it, because I know each round would have been a torture if I had to choose haha

    I thought T&C vs Ultra Blue would be much closer than that.

    T&C is easily the most popular and most well known song off of this album.

    My favourite is Phoenix Ignition, but T&C and Ultra Blue are not far behind.
