Yellowcard Band • Page 69

I mean, if you're gonna talk about Yellowcard in here, at least share good opinions

 

Could say the same about the ongoing LaS support.
Let's start a fight.

 

Every song on LaS > every song on L&S

 

I can get onboard with this.

 

I say that even as someone who thinks Transmission Home and Crash the Gates are just okay songs.

 

On this site you are the majority but actually most people don't share this opinion.

 

I would say I'm in the minority on this site, since for whatever reason people seem to like L&S and I haven't seen a lot of LaS fans. Outside this site, I'm not sure how you'd know the consensus.

 

There are probably a few songs on Lights & Sounds that I like more than "Make Me So," "Crash the Gates," and "One Bedroom." I think everything else on Lift a Sail is on another level from the L&S stuff though.

 

EH OH EL

 

The bridges in those songs are so bad, i'd listen to "City of Devils" over both of them for the remainder of my time on earth.

 

Every single song on Lights and Sounds is better than "Make Me So".

Don't @ me.

 

Very elaborative.

 

Has anybody been replaying "Rest in Peace" very often? I haven't gone back to it much.

 

That song has a great hook. L&S doesn't know what a hook is.

 

The vocals in City of Devils (and every song on the album) are terrible. Also, another song without a decent melody.

 

Lights and sounds has meaningful lyrics and incredible musical composition.

Make me so has this :

Truth is the worlds gonna spin
With or without you again and again
If i ever escape
I'm gonna love and give it a name

Lights & Sounds has "Two Weeks from Twenty," which is one of the worst songs ever written by a band I actually like. So no, this statement is not true.

 

I've been a YC fan from the start but when I heard Make Me So for the first time, the lyrics literally made me cringe.

The lack of bridges on Transmission and Crash frustrate me to no end. I love other songs on that album though.

But to me it's not even close. The composition, musical evolution and lyrical work on Lights and Sounds is their best.

 

You know that not every song needs a bridge, right? Like, that's not a legally mandated component of a song.

 

That's the one exception. That song is just as bad.

 

The issue is that the songs set up to build toward a bridge and then have this strange silence with occasional background noise and piano notes.

 

Are we really doing the stupid thing where we cherry pick and pretend one lyric is representative on an entire album? If so, I've got plenty of lines from Down on My Head ready.

Lift a Sail doesn't have meaningful lyrics? Given the circumstances under which Ryan wrote the album, that's not only incorrect but insensitive.

 

I'm talking about that song. Not the entire album. Read above

 

This is very wrong.

This is also very wrong.

 

LaS is way more accomplished than L&S, compositionally speaking. They did a lot more different things on that album and they mostly worked.
