If nothing else, this bracket has made me see that some tracks that have always been just okay in my mind are legit fan favorites
There's no point in continuing this any further. Final scores: What Appears - 5 Fields and Fences - 12 Since we all would want more Yellowcard songs after the self-titled and, sadly, last album, it is time to do THE BONUS ROUND. This round will consist of bonus tracks and songs featured in an EP.
I feel like Breathing and Back Home being shut out pretty early on in the OA bracket were the only real surprises here for me. The other album brackets pretty much went how I thought they would.
YELLOWCARD'S BRACKET AVENUE For those who are new to the concept, these are randomly generated brackets (no seeding!) where we go from album to album and put the songs from an album against each other. We vote on each matchups until we have a winner for each albums. Those songs will then face off in a Champions bracket to decide the best overall Yellowcard song! Same rules as the other brackets: Rules: 1. Voting will take place over 10-24 hour period, depending on how close the matches are (if there's a wide margin too far to beat, the round may be run ruled to not waste time). 2. You must vote on every match in a round. If you don't, your votes don't count. Just reply to this thread with your choices. I will not vote unless there is a tie needed to be broken. 3. Feel free to discuss why you chose one song over the other and why you like that song. It's what keeps these fun! 4. I avoid byes into rounds if I can, but sometimes it's necessary. These are randomly generated; I do not pick them. 5. Once your votes are counted, signified by me 'liking' your post, there are no vote changes. Choose wisely before posting! 6. The King John Rule: Only participate if you've heard these songs. You are welcome to look them up and listen before hand, but if there's evidence you haven't heard them before or you're just voting to help/hurt a song your votes will not count. And the most important rule of them all : Have fun and stay respectful of each other. YELLOWCARD FACE OFF: BONUS ROUND ----- Round 1 1) Underdog Vs. Powder 2) Promises Vs. Rocket 3) Radio Song Girl Vs. Gifts and Curses 4) Firewater Vs. Finish Line 5) Hey Mike Vs. In Time 6) Three Flights Down Vs. Bombers 7) When We're Old Men Vs. Avondale 8) Millenium Changed Vs. Rough Draft
Underdog Promises Gifts and Curses Firewater (This matchup sucks. I love both tracks.) Hey Mike Bombers Avondale Rough Draft
-Powder -Rocket -Gifts and Curses ( I expect this song to take this bracket, its the fan favorite right?) -Firewater -In Time -Bombers -When We're Old Men (probably the unpopular pick but I just love this song for some reason) -Rough Draft
I just spent about an hour on YouTube listening to all of these... Powder Rocket Gifts And Curses Finish Line Hey Mike Bombers Avondale Rough Draft Yellowcard definitely has some very solid b-sides/bonus tracks!
Powder Rocket Gifts and Curses (is there any chance that this doesn't win thew whole bracket?) Finish Line In Time Bombers (love both of these songs) Avondale Rough Draft
That's probably the frontrunner, but I could see Avondale or Rough Draft possibly winning it. I really like Rocket a lot too, but wouldn't expect that to win over Gifts And Curses.
Current Totals: Underdog - 1 Powder - 4 Promises - 1 Rocket - 4 Radio Song Girl - 0 Gifts and Curses - 5 Firewater - 2 Finish Line - 3 Hey Mike - 3 In Time - 2 Three Flights Down - 0 Bombers - 5 When We're Old Men - 2 Avondale - 3 Millenium Changed - 0 Rough Draft - 5
