The Bracket of Life and Death (Good Charlotte Bracket) Bracket • Page 8

Well it looks like that will do it for The Young & The Hopeless!

Wondering-5
Hold On-6

Now it's time for The Chronicles of Life and Death! This one will start with a play-in round due to the higher number of songs.

Round 1

A) We Believe vs. S.O.S.

 

S.O.S.

 

We Believe

 

S.O.S.

 

We Believe-1
S.O.S.-2

 

SOS

 

S.O.S

 

My two favorite songs on the album going up against each other right away:

We Believe

 

We Believe-2
S.O.S.-4

 

S.O.S.

 

We Believe-2
S.O.S.-5

 

We Believe

This was a hard one right away. This is my favorite GC album. It really meant a lot to me growing up. One of the handfull of rock albums that did. Parts of it make it an obvious product of it’s time and maybe haven’t made it age as well as the two previous albums (though those also are products of their times, but sonically that early 00s pop punk maybe had an easier time aging), but I don’t care. I still go back to it every year.

 

We Believe might be one of my favorite songs from them. And honestly, outside of a few duds, I think Chronicles is one of their most solid albums from front to back.

 

Still waiting on a few more votes I believe.

 

Alright, the full bracket is set!

We Believe-2
S.O.S.-5

Time for the much larger Round 2.

A) Falling Away vs. S.O.S.

E) I Just Wanna Live vs. The World is Black
F) Ghost of You vs. Wounded
G) Meet My Maker vs. Secrets

Going to have to give this a full listen today - it’s been a while!

 

S.O.S.
Mountain
Walk Away (Maybe)

Secrets
It Wasn't Enough

 

S.O.S.
Mountain

All pretty easy choices. Not a huge fan of this album but it has some good songs.

 

S.o.s
Mountain
The truth
Chronicles
I just wanna live
Ghost
Meet my maker
It wasn’t enough

 

S.O.S.
Mountain
Walk Away
The Chronicles of Life and Death

Wounded might be my favorite GC song. I also do not appreciate that you made me choose between Mountain and Predictable, haha.

 

Yes that matchup was not ideal lol

 

Falling Away-0
S.O.S.-4

Predictable-0
Mountain-4

The Chronicles of Life and Death-4

I Just Wanna Live-3

S.O.S. (RIP We Believe, but I hope this one wins this whole album)
Predictable (surprised this one is so lopsided so far)
Walk Away (Maybe)
Chronicles of Life and Death
The World Is Black (never really cared for I Just Wanna Live)
Ghost of You
Secrets
It Wasn't Enough

 

I’ll get in on this a little later.

 

I liked hearing I Just Wanna Live on the radio back then (and now I guess), never much cared for it on the album though
