I listened to Lift a Sail a lot in college, especially on days where I felt pretty down so I grew and remain pretty fond of it.
This comp (including vol. 1) got me into a lot of the bands I love today. I discovered Yellowcard and Alkaline Trio for the first time.
Very close for me. But gotta give it to Awakening solely because of that quick four-on-the-floor on the first part of the outro chorus. Can never get enough of it.
Totally fair, could see arguments for both! The Takedown is probably the top spot for me, the energy on that song is just ridiculous. I’d probably slide them in like this The Takedown Awakening The Sound of You and Me Three Flights Up—> Lights and Sounds Convocation—>Transmission Home Way Away RIP
Just goes to show how good all their openers are that I think The Sound of You and Me is my favorite!
I continue to remain interested in the fact that each Instagram story this week has had a link to their newsletter. I recommend signing up for that as I have a feeling it could be involved in some way leading up to whatever this is.
I’m assuming it’s a feature. Probably a female vocalist like Charlotte Sands. She seems to be everywhere these days.
