Yellowcard - Better Days (October 10, 2025) • Page 22

Still my favorite here, but the whole run from “honestly, I” through that track is top notch.

 

I had this thought too. It gives me Rocket vibes, but like all grown up

 

Yes… the aftermath…

 

Ryan's vocals in the chorus are insane. There's a yearning in them which tips the chorus over the edge. After the bridge where the music cuts out and it's just his vocal gives me goosebumps.

 

For me, this album is going make a great companion piece to Southern Air.

 

Honestly I'm not enjoying this as much as I thought I would. Everything is top notch, the songs, the melodies, the performances, the lyrics. A kind of quality effort that isn't granted for a band this far in their career. The only things that are holding me back are the squeaky clean, high-pitched, heavily compressed sounds in the mix and production. I don't know, maybe I need to spend more time with the record and dive deeper.
Anyway, I'm happy and glad that one of my top 3 artist of all time is back and here to stay. It is truly a beautiful feeling when a band from your teenage years grow up and evolve beside you.

 

I think I've listened to this album wayyyyyyyy too much, because every time someone types this word in this thread I think it's a joke and the chorus starts playing in my head.

 

I absolutely love the way this album sounds, including the drums and cymbals. It sounds absolutely massive and crisp at the same time, at least to my ears

 

Travis has his moments, but he totally nailed that classic “Yellowcard drum vibe”, feels like he’s even paying tribute to former drummers at times.

 

Travis is very tasteful on this album. Same for those Goldfinger album(s?). I really appreciate that, as a listener of YC, the focus is still on the YC boys. I have to remind myself that Travis is actually drumming.

 

Can we talk about Josh’s bass runs scattered throughout the album? Holy smokes… right when the song needs just a little something, just to spice up the chord change one more time… BOOM.

 

You ever think about how Love Letters Lost has 2/3 of blink 182 featured if you look at it a certain way

 

A little disappointed in how the “cotton candy swirl” variant turned out.

 

The amazon blue one is great!

 

Mine looks just like that. Basically clear.

 

Bummer.

 

Bedroom Posters makes me so nostalgic that I want to put some posters up just to tear them down again.

 

"You Broke Me Too" is over 1M streams on Spotify in five days, might be the fastest I've seen a Yellowcard song get to that mark

 

Jesus that’s crazy

 

Take What You Want is a great running song. Played it like 5 times on my run yesterday lol

 

TWYW is easily my favorite song on this album.

 

Maybe it gets bigger if you spin it

 

It does not.

 

After getting used to the album I'm thinking it's the best too. For me the realization takes a bit for it to sink in with the pre-release songs lol

 

Love Letters Lost, the beat switch into the bridge is so nice…
