I would just like to state for the record, for the shit I got about The Mistake it is only 1 out of 2 songs in their entire discography not to receive a vote. (and the only song over 2 minutes not to) after 84 votes so far.

 

I didn’t realize how tough this would be. They’re just so consistent

 

Their worst songs are better than most band's best songs.

 

@BoldTitan You tricked us into a bracket.

 

Shoes are for eating, not kissing.

 

Whoa. It might be the weakest on the record, but I feel like it's the weakest in the same way I feel like "Halloween" is the weakest off Punisher. "Weak" is a relative term cause the whole album is so uniformly awesome. Kind of shocked no one voted for it.

 

It would be fourth on my list, I almost included it

 

wait we all forgot to include nobody sings anymore

 

28 people have submitted. Gonna wait until tonight to give enough time.

So far LAVLAC has a very clear top 4.

METN has a very clear top 4.

Simple Math has a very clear top 4/5ish

Cope has a VERY VERY clear top 2. With 3 tied a bit below.

Black Mile has a Very clear top 2 with 4 tied a bit below.

Simple Math has the most diversity.

 

it’s also their worst album

 

The shit you got wasn't because you hated the song, it was because you hated the WOO, which is inarguably the best part of the song.

 

hate is a strong word. I don’t hate any Manchester song. Even the Woo.

 

I still think Cope is by far their weakest. the songs I listed plus All I Really Wanted and maybe The Ocean are the only ones I really think all that much about

 

Sleeper 1972 is one of those songs that I love so much it's crazy to me that everyone doesn't have it in their top 3.

thats just how good virgin is imo

 

I had trouble cherry picking songs from Virgin besides the opener and closer. I think of it more as a complete piece. still an incredible record

 

Honestly the only "easy" one for me was Simple Math

 

ILAVLAC
Now That You’re Home
Where Have You Been?
I Can Barely Breathe

METN
Shake It Out
My Friend Marcus
Tony The Tiger

SM
Mighty
Pensacola
Simple Math

C
The Ocean
See It Again
Cope

BM
The Gold
The Alien
The Sunshine

 

low key think simple math is one of the worst songs they've written lol

 

so long. so repetitive.

edit: also the strings are too much, but that’s my issue with a lot of SM

 

Definitely agree some length could’ve been cut, but love the mood/sound/vibe plus the lyrics really resonate.

 

It was the song that got me into the band and its still probably one of my favourites.
