Yellowcard Band • Page 264

I always loved the title track. That hit hard since day one and never changed for me. And yea, I’ve gotten into some older records lately that I kind of set aside years ago. I’ve mostly been just doing discography runs with bands and will listen to everything they have on Spotify. I’ve “rediscovered” a few albums I really vibe with now that I rarely listened to over the years.

 

I've never ranked cause my list would just make the thread mad lol

 

Lift a Sail
Paper Walls
Self Titled
Ocean Avenue
WYTTSY
Southern Air
Lights and Sounds
Underdog
One for the Kids

 

Should have been Make Me So for sure

 

Southern Air
Lift a Sail
Yellowcard
Ocean Avenue
When You’re Through…
Paper Walls
Light and Sounds

I haven’t heard the rest

 

Okay fine, just for you…

Underdog






The rest

 

Hahahahahaah!

 

Here we go:

WYTTSY
Lift a Sail
Ocean Avenue
Paper Walls
Yellowcard
Southern Air
Lights and Sounds
Underdog
One For The Kids

What a great, great band

 

WYTTSY is so good. I was at this random one-off show they played at a warehouse in Pennsylvania like a week before that album released. Grabbed a copy of it and I popped it into the car on the drive home, which was like an hour long. Hearing the opening to "The Sound of You and Me" for the first time was so fucking sick.

 

Yes indeed, I have some very specific memories attached to that record. I also think it’s their most cohesive record, sequencing is perfect, first song is perfect, last song is perfect, perfect record!

 

This is how I’ve started to feel recently. The whole album strikes such a specific mood that I’m not even really sure how to describe

 

Truly connected with Say Yes when the acoustic version was released. It’s one of their greatest. Such a hard band to rank.

 

Sortof unrelated, but "Afraid" has to be one of the most slept on songs in their entire catalog. That song absolutely shreds, man.

 

I love when you’re through thinking. Has some of my favorite songs on it. Surprised to see it so low in so many rankings but maybe that’s just a testament to how damn good it all is.

 

What criteria do you lean more toward for your ranking? I’m assuming some of it is connected to life events coinciding with each record. Anything else play into it, at this moment in time?

 

As it stands today:

Paper Walls
Lights and Sounds
Lift a Sail
Southern Air
Yellowcard
WYTTSY
Ocean Avenue
OFTK
Underdogs

 

Lights and Sounds
Paper Walls
Ocean Avenue
WYTTSY
Underdog (LOVE Avondale/Rocket, not sorry)
Southern Air
Self Titled
Lift A Sail
One For The Kids

 

Southern Air underneath Underdog is absolute CHAOS

 

Well Ryan bullied me into ranking

I said people wouldn't like it lol

 

Hey, I respect it. Avondale and Rocket are awesome.

Also a big fan of Lights & Sounds at the top.

 

Man. Ranking records in a thread where the guy who wrote them is hanging around sure is intimidating. Anyway, of the ones I've heard:

Southern Air
Ocean Ave
WYTTSY
Paper Walls
Lights & Sounds
Yellowcard
Lift A Sail

Really those first four could be in any order depending on the day.

 

Southern Air
Lift A Sail
Paper Walls
WYTTSY
Ocean Avenue
Lights and Sounds
Yellowcard
One for the kids
Underdog

 

Here are the votes from the Norwegian jury:

Southern Air (ultimate summer album)
Ocean Avenue (the nostalgia is strong with this one)
WYTTSY (has some of their strongest songs)
Lift a sail (love the atmosphere, electronics and the trips to Riff City)
Underdog EP (too good to not include)
Paper Walls (Jesus they have so many great albums that this ended up all the way down here?!)
Self titled (also amazing, and most cried to, because of the breakup)
Lights and sounds (just never clicked for me)
OFTK (will never forget discovering yellowcard by hearing Shureshot. And Rough draft will always be my jam)
