I need to listen to WYTTSY. Every album just takes me back to a specific time in my life. Not many bands can do that for me. I love all their releases in different ways. I'll never forget falling in love with Lights and Sounds. Oh man. All the feels.
This is so true. Yellowcard has written music that has been a soundtrack to positive, negative, great, awful, trying and wonderful times in my life. It's almost like each record is a time capsule. I can pop it in and be taken right back to the feeling of that time. I think that's one of the remarkable things about music. Not only does it last forever, but it can instantly take you back somewhere. The feeling in your heart. The weather, the emotions, even the way a certain place looked or felt. It's an incredible experience. How do you measure the importance of that? How do you look back at a band who's music has been weaved in and out of your life for the past 20 years and say goodbye, knowing that will never happen again? The only way I've found, so far, is to say thank you. I'm sure eventually, like most things, the sadness will dissipate and I will be able to look at these records and appreciate the trip back in time that they can take me on. For right now, though, it's still a bit of a stunned feeling of knowing that chapter has closed and been put on the shelf.
WYTTSY has a lot of great songs but as an album it feels like, i dont know, just a collection of songs i guess? its odd because i mean thats essentially what all albums are but the songs on WYTTSY dont have quite a rhyme or reason to them like the other YC albums. Maybe thats just me. On the flipside of that Lift A Sail might actually overtake SA as my favorite YC album and I'm sure I'll be deeply in the minority on that one.
Completely agree with the first point, I like most of the songs on WYTTSY but I feel they have five albums that are decidedly stronger.
thank you for everything no, not necessarily. it doesnt really detract from it i guess in the grand scheme of things. its still a great album
I think the lack of cohesiveness does detract from the album somewhat. There's a reason I don't revisit it much despite, like I said, thinking the songs are mostly great. It feels like a B-sides release in that it doesn't have much flow.
Thank you for everything The last show was unforgettable – you guys capped off an incredible career in the best way imaginable. Way to absolutely shred on Rivertown Blues, btw. Didn't know that made it into the setlist for the last few shows and was absolutely floored by it.
This guy might love Yellowcard almost too much, but damn that is one cool medley. Now I really wanna learn the Transmission Home intro.
I'd say One Bedroom is my least favorite. I'd say Rough Landing is maybe one of the best along with Always Summer. The three OA singles are pretty great too.
I've been listening to so much YC in the past year or so since we did a top 10 that my list is probably so different. I don't know the order but I'd probably go with: Hollywood Died Awakening Rivertown Blues Rough Landing Holly The Takedown Be The Young Cut Me Mick Lift a Sail Back Home The Sound of You and Me
