Yellowcard - Better Days (October 10, 2025) • Page 7

I like it better than quite a few already.

 

Which openers would you put it ahead of?

 

For me, def whatever starts OFTK, probably ahead of Way Away at this point, def above Lights and Sounds, RIP, Transmission Home

 

The Takedown

Awakening
The Sound of You and Me/Better Days/Way Away

Three Flights Up

And anything else all tied here

 

Any mention of The Takedown requires me to immediately listen to it so brb

 

Awakening
Takedown
Sound of You and Me
Way Away
Better Days
Convocation/Transmission in Home (counting as one song to be fair)
RIP
3 Flights/L&S (counting as one song to be fair)

 

The Takedown is one of my favorite opening tracks to any album, ever.

 

It also has the distinction of having the worst Dolby Atmos mix I’ve heard to date.

 

Lights and Sounds rips

 

one of their best songs

 

I listened to the entire album thanks to this post. Still an absolute banger front to back. Undisputed GOAT for me.

 

Way Away was the first Yellowcard song I ever heard, so it’s hard for anything to beat its importance to me.

 

Band does openers and closers very well

 

The Sound of You and Me and Be The Young on the same album is insane work

 

Have you heard the Big If version of Be the Young? I really like it

 

Really good as it’s own track, in my opinion. “Be The Young” itself is just so good though.

 

I had no idea this existed.

 

Wild we still have two whole months until this is out. Not quite sure I understand the reasoning either. I mean, Good Charlotte, AFI, and Deftones are all doing, or have done, short roll-outs. I’d even argue short roll-outs create more buzz and excitement. I don’t know. Just feels like a wasted opportunity to not have it out for the summer.

 

Very real chance they have to compete with Taylor's release date now too which is rumored to be slated around early October. Not sure that they care, but also wouldn't be shocked if they moved the release date to create some space. I believe they literally just had to do this same thing with Childhood Eyes too

 

Yes move it to September

 

Obviously none of these would be competition on the same level as Taylor, but 10/3 is Thrice, 9/26 is The Starting Line, 9/19 is Motion City Soundtrack. If anything, I’d guess they’d push it back a week or 2.

 

I’m hoping with how well Better Days is charting, that we get some vinyl re-issues in the coming months.

Yep. Underdog EP, When You’re Through Thinking, Lift A Sail would also be nice. None of which are readily available at retail prices.
