Weekly Poll: Favorite Yellowcard Album • Page 2

Agreed. I think if it had been released in place of Paper Walls it would have been just as praised.

 

nah

 

yah

 

Almost shamed to admit that at one time I thought Yellowcard was over once, in my opinion, Lights and Sounds really disappointed, and the subsequent hiatus. So glad I couldn't have been more wrong.

The trifecta of Paper Walls, WYTTSY, and Southern Air is just so so good. Really liked the farewell self titled as well.

 

Ocean Avenue for me. I love southern Air but ocean avenue is such a classic

 

Figured that OA and SA would be the runaway leaders in this, but I'm a bit surprised to see Paper Walls and the S/T get so little support

 

I voted Ocean Avenue on pure nostalgia factor (it's also still a dope album tbh), but this did inspire me to spend all day listening to their entire discography.

OA was one of the OG albums that introduced me to this type of music, in fact it may very well be the first - I remember listening to it in my room in middle school and being absolutely blown away.

 

Pleasantly surprised to see Southern Air winning!

 

Paper Walls. Ocean Avenue was my introduction to YC, but unfortunately a lot of it doesn't really hold up for me. I can still listen to Paper Walls front to back 12 years later. Plus it's always going to hold a special place in my heart because of the time it came out. 2007/2008 was a very big transitional period in my life and that was the exact sort of album I needed to hear at the time.

 

Southern Air has better singles, WYTTSY and Paper Walls are better albums.

 

WYTTSY

 

Southern Air

 

I’m surprised where Paper Walls is sitting in this so far!

 

My maybe weird Lift A Sail take: it's very front heavy for me. Like the first few songs are spectacular and then the back half doesnt do as much for me.

 

Hot take lift a sail

 

Ocean Avenue... butttttt their last four albums I love equally.

 

Been listening to them since right after OFTK was released and my ranking is:
WYTTSY
Southern Air
Ocean Ave
PAper Walls
OFTK
Lights and sounds
......
Lift a Sail
S/T

wtf were they thinking with those last 2 albums.

 

Its a testament to how fantastic their discography is that paper walls is sitting in 5th.

 

Last two albums are great.

 

Self titled was good. Agree that lift a sail is trash

 

I think a 10 or 11 song version of Paper Walls would have helped its standing.

This poll reminded me that while Yellowcard has some of my favorite songs, I still listen to their entire catalog on a regular basis, and they've been truly dynamic...

I don't think any of their albums are end to end masterpieces...anyone else agree?

 

Southern Air
Yellowcard
Lift a Sail
Ocean Avenue
WYTTSY
Paper Walls
Lights & Sounds

Truly love all of their albums though.

 

LAS is by far their worst. Ouchies.

 

Paper Walls for me.

Then
WYTTSY
Ocean Avenue
Southern Air
One for the Kids
Yellowcard
Lights & Sounds
Lift a Sail

 

My ranking would be

Southern Air
WYTTSY
Paper Walls
Lights and Sounds
Ocean Avenue
OFTK

S/T
Lift A Sail

I, too, have real difficulty connecting with the final two albums. I don't go back to them at all.
