The Bracket of Life and Death (Good Charlotte Bracket) Bracket • Page 21

Self Help

 

Self help

 

Self Help-4
Actual Pain-3

 

These are honestly my two favorites on the record. At this point I have no idea which one I would choose.

 

Actual Pain

 

Self Help-4
Actual Pain-4

 

This is tough...I gotta give these a back-to-back listen before I vote

 

Actual Pain

Not the easiest decision though since these are two of the better songs on the album

 

Yeah these are the top two songs on the album

 

I like a California a lot and would put it slightly ahead of Self Help, but those are my favorite three songs on the album

 

Self Help-4
Actual Pain-5

 

Most of this album kinda lost me other than these two songs, I might need to check it out again

 

If I’m being honest, I don’t think any song on this record is overly memorable. That isn’t to say it’s a bad record, I think there’s lots of decent stuff on here, just nothing that sticks out to me compared to their back catalogue.

 

I can respect that. Not sure if it’s where im at in my life, but something with the record just clicked with me. It’s probably still my most listened to album since it came out.

 

I’ll leave this round open until tomorrow morning. Then we can start the b-sides bracket.

 

Right on. I think the parity in opinions on which records are this band’s best speaks volumes about just how strong their catalogue is as a whole.

 

Except Good Morning Revival, which I still think mostly stinks

 

Definitely my least favorite.

 

I go back to it every now and then to see if my mind changes, but nope

 

In a close one, we have a winner for Generation Rx!

Self Help-4
Actual Pain-5

Now it’s time for the b-sides. Side note: I included The Click in this bracket because it was apparently a bonus track on some versions of the record. Also because I forgot to include it in the self titles bracket. We will start with a play-in matchup and then get into the full bracket.

First Round

Crash vs. The Click

 

The click

 

The Click

I’m not very familiar with the majority of their b-sides, so I’ll have some catching up to do!

 

Crash-0
The Click-2

 

Crash

 

Not familiar with most (any?) of their b-sides so I'll have some listening to do over the next few days. For now:
