The Greatest Song of All Time (Low) - The ATL Bracket Bracket • Page 14

It’s probably just too early for me...but what’s TLYR stand for?

 

Ohhh Last Young Renegade? haha my bad

 

I guess for me ATL are a nostalgia band, I'm not really into the poppier end of pop-punk anymore so I think it's more my tastes changing over time than anything majorly to do with the band.

 

Really? Last Young Renegade is their worst album, it's like they're a totally different band on that record. Goodbye guitar riffs, rock & roll drums and vocals without autotune or some other weird pop effect.

 

Damned If I Do Ya (Damned If I Don't)
Keep the Change, You Filthy Animal
Lost in Stereo
Therapy
A Party Song (The Walk of Shame)

 

Almost missed the first round for NP. This and LYR are probably the only albums I know well enough to do for this bracket.

Weightless
Keep the Change
Lost in Stereo
Therapy
Party Song

 

Damned
Filthy Animal
Sick Little Games
Therapy
Party Song

4,5 hours to go. There are 7 users who haven't voted this round, so there's still a chance the three first match-up could be turned around.

 

I don't really care if the album is less guitar heavy and more pop, I still think the tracks are great (especially the last 4 tracks). The album is catchy and fun.

 

Last Young Renegade is the only All Time Low album without a song that I'd cut from the track listing. All of those songs are good. It's also in the top three of their albums for me, probably.

SWIR I'd cut Come One, Come All
NP I'd cut Lost in Stereo, Hey Brooklyn, and Too Much (and I'd put Poison on it)
DW I'd cut I Feel Like Dancin' and That Girl
DP I'd cut Backseat Serenade
FH I'd cut Dancing With A Wolf and Bail Me Out

 

Easily my least favourite by them, but the last one I was really into was Don't Panic. SWIR is the only one where I love every track.

 

Nothing Personal still holds up really well. I listened to it in full last night and I was really jammin. I couldn't consider them a nostalgia band either. I sort of went through a phase a few years back where I thought I was "growing out" of older music and my love for ATL definitely took a bit of a hit around then, but now I'm over that. I've also been a lot more pop music inclined these days, so I've been appreciating them in a new light. That's also probably part of why I think LYR is so great. ATL has always experimented with pop sounds (dating back to Sticks, Stones, and Techno. I don't think they really sound unrecognizable or anything on it, they just went for a more fully realized version of something they've been hinting they want to try to make for a long time. At the very least, it's my favorite since Dirty Work.

 

I think my least favorite on the album is Nice2KnoU, but I'm still not sure I would cut it from the album. I just think it sticks out because it's the most "traditional All Time Low" sounding track on the album.

 

Oh my god. That's the best song they've ever done. Insanity!

 

Yeah honestly it is a little out of place with the rest of the album's vibe (the title track is too, to a lesser degree) but it's still a really good song so I wouldn't want to cut it either. It's just a fantastic album all around and shows how bands like this can incorporate more of a pop sound while still retaining their identity as artists.

 

Yeah, that's not true at all haha there's at least one better song than it on Dirty Work even, let alone all their other albums.

Speaking of which if Heroes doesn't win Dirty Work I might have to nuke the thread off the face of the internet.

 

Backseat Serenade is my favorite on Don't Panic (and one of my favorite ATL song)!

 

I think every album of theirs has something I could cut except LYR and PUoSU.

SWIR: I could do without the Beach
NP: Hello Brooklyn. Ok that was fun see ya later Brooklyn
DW: who approved That Girl? (and I could do without Time Bomb to a lesser extent, but that's also because I overplayed it when it came out and it annoys me that it's the most consistently played DW song when it's also one of my least favorites)
DP: Paint You Wings so you can fly away from this boring song
FH: Bail Me Out of this dream because this song put me to sleep (and the Edge of Tonight to a lesser extent)

If I had to cut something from LYR it'd be Nightmares, but I wouldn't particularly want to.

 

Not the best song on Dirty Work. Not even top 3. (Top 5 though haha)

 

Oh yeah I forgot Bail Me Out, let me cut that one off FH too, woof.

 

Backseat Serenade is not the best All Time Low song, but it is great.

 

Nightmares is straight up awful.

 

I feel like this band needs to stick to a tight ten tracks per album. Looking at those songs I'd cut, I'm making them all into either 10 or 11 tracks each with my cuts. And LYR is a tight ten tracks and it's their most consistent album. I think when they stray over 10 they start throwing on some questionable material.
