Yellowcard Band • Page 77

I didn't like it until I saw them live on that tour. It was maybe the best sounding song in the set. Plus, the bridge is fantastic.

All five of their worst songs are on Crazy World. Though "Learning to Fall" is pretty close.

 

"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.
