Yellowcard Band • Page 77

"MSK" is perfect, period. Cannot wrap my head around how anyone who is a fan of this band would not like that song.

 

Not enough real instruments, this is a rock band dammit!

 

I've stopped saying pop punk and just started saying rock it feels better just a fun fact for ya

 

Genres in general are weird

 

Everything is rock Kanye Yellowcard Burial Converge Nas Paramore Cindi Lauper they're all just rock

 

Two genres: rock and autotune.

 

Yeah only real bands play ROCK with INSTRUMENTS you say Miley Cyrus I say Metallica you say Justin Bieber I say Nickelback you say synth I say guitar you say pop I scream in your face ROCK AND METAL

95% of teens have turned to rap and pop garbage so let's show YouTube the 5% of us that still know how to ROCK

 

Plus, there's no way in hell LaS was a pop punk record anyway.

 

Needs an LP drum solo!!!

 

hahaha, i just don't like it. repetitive and boring. also not a fan of the uh-uhuuuuuh's.
i can imagine that you like it and think it's beautiful though, but it's just not my cup of tea. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

both l+l's records aren't pop punk

 

this is a quality, overlooked comment.

 

Fair enough.

I'd mostly agree with this statement, though I think there are a handful pop punk songs on Lights & Sounds. There are none on Lift a Sail.

 

"Make Me So" and "Deepest Well"?

 

Eh, I think it's a stretch to call those songs pop punk, particularly the latter. "Make Me So" is definitely the closest, which is why it doesn't fit on the album. But I still think it feels less like typical pop punk than stuff like "Lights & Sounds," "Rough Landing Holly," "Sure Thing Falling," etc. "Deepest Well" is symphonic rock in the vein of late Anberlin.

 

"Fragile & Dear" is my favorite on Lift a Sail, and might be my favorite YC track in general.

 

Real talk this is a really good rock band all in all.

Weird that despite how influential YC are we haven't really seen any other bands attempt the "violin inside a pop punk/rock band"

 

probably not that many violin players that want to be in a pop punk band, haha.

 

I wish more bands would experiment with lineups though. Can I get one band with a permanent accordion player? Geez.

 

Counting Crows have an accordion player who is a full time member, but he also does piano and keyboards. And clarinet, apparently.

 

Wonderful. I love all of those, ha.

 

Not here to pick fights or anything but I just need to say that the clarinet is easily my least favorite woodwind instrument

 

My roommate in college played clarinet, and I hate that instrument. Haha

 

The double reed instruments sound so much nicer to my ears.

 

I kind of just don't like any of the reed instruments.
