Yellowcard Band • Page 34

The production for lights and sounds was awful.. Also Ryan was having vocal issues at the time, later to find out it was nodules, I think you hear it in his voice on that release

 

The song writing was good though hah

 

I think for me if I felt the songwriting was good, I could get past the vocal issues to some extent. But even so, whenever I listen to it I just feel like there's nothing there.

 

Lights & Sounds is such a rockin record. Waiting Game, Down on my Head, Space Travel, so many underrated cuts on there, I think. I feel like that album clicks with me in a way it doesn't with most others.

 

I think you're actually not very alone in that. It seems like the record has grown a lot on people over time, to the point where liking it may actually be the majority opinion.

 

Ocean avenue will probably always be my favorite yellowcard record, there was something about the production on that record that I just loved. It's perfect for the summer.

 

I'd i had to rank

Ocean avenue
Southern air
Paper walls
When you're through thinking
One for the kids
Lift a sail
Lights and sounds

 

Space Travel is beautiful. Far better than anything on Lift A Sail.

 

Okay I guess

Paper Walls
Southern Air
Ocean Avenue
Lift a Sail
When You're Through Thinking, Say Yes
One for the Kids
Lights and Sounds

The top two will always be painful to rank though.

 

I leave for a day and come back to people using words like "worst" when describing Awakening, Surface of the Sun and Rivertime Blues. I guess I'll have to stay and keep people in line ☺

 

Hey now I clarified that Surface is still a great song haha

 

Ranking would be for me:
Southern Air
Ocean Ave
Paper Walls
When you're done thinking
Lights and Sounds
Lift a Sail
One for the Kids

Hard to rank excellent albums though.

 

Awakening is just super cheesy and kind of has a grating melody but the guitars and drumming save it from being below good.

Southern Air/Paper Walls
WYTTSY

It was tough to choose between SA and PW, but in the end i feel like SA encompasses what the band is about.

 

ocean ave
southern air/ wyttsy
paper walls
lift a sail
l & s

 

I love that When You're Done Thinking is higher on people's list than I thought it be.

 

God damnit, alright:

Paper Walls
Ocean Avenue
Southern Air
Lights and Sounds / WYTTSY
Lift a Sail
(One for the Kids)

 

I never listened to their old stuff too much but I've always liked this song

 

Paper Walls
Ocean Avenue
Southern Air
When You're Through Thinking
Underdog EP
Lights and Sounds
Lift A Sail
One For The Kids

 

Southern Air this low just blows my mind. Even after the top three, isn't SA just a much better version of WYTTSY?

 

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

I came around to WYTTSY since the last time I posted here.
