Brand New Band • Page 617

I'm going to give this another hour or so, but it's near run rule territory

 

Current (Final?) Totals:

Soco Amaretto Lime-25
My Shotgun Rides Nine-0

Mix Tape-9
Seventy Times Seven-16

Failure By Design-19
Magazines-6

Last Chance To Lose Your Keys-6
Logan To Government Center-19

 

Yes these seem to be the final totals, the round has almost been up for an entire day. Not as big of a turnout this time but they were all landslides and it's a weekend. This will see Soco Amaretto Lime, Seventy Times Seven, Failure By Design, and Logan To Government Center(someone needs to eat an album cover) advance and become your final four. Now on to the next round, to decide which songs have the right to duke it out for the championship of Your Favorite Weapon!

Soco v 70x7 is an interesting matchup. I'm gonna listen to the songs tonight and make my decision later.

Should come down to Soco and Logan, which I'm happy to see. They're the most endearing songs on the album for me at this point, and are given new life live.

I wouldn't be surprised either but I still stick with what I know I played the most over the past decade and which I return to most now. Soco and 70 is a tough match up. I figure me choosing 70x7 is mostly because I can still vote for Play Crack The Sky later.

Thanks @NationalPhenomenon for posting those videos. They really look like they're having fun playing Logan.

 

Soco Amaretto Lime vs. Seventy Times 7
- An anthem about confused reflection > an anthem about instinctual aggression

Logan to Government Center vs. Failure by Design
- Jesse's Transatlanticism > Jesse's Love Song

Failure

 

My favourite thing about this video is how you can see Jesse smiling at the beginning of each chorus, probably thinking what a lot of people think about YFW, and then the camera pans to Vin and he's taking it as seriously as he would a Daisy song

While we're still in the world of YFW, which song do you guys think is better: Seventy Times 7 or There's No I in Team?

I'm not talking about TBS vs Brand New or anything, but just looking at the songs in their own vacuum, which do you like more?

 

Me personally, TNIIT. But I will admit part of that is bias with TBS being second only to blink as my favorite band. I just like the lyrics of the song better and the sound imo. Like both though.

 

Soco Amaretto Lime

Failure By Design

 

Why not both?

That's gonna be a tough final round.

70 (tho I love TNOIT)

 

Soco (This is the only song remaining of my favorites from YFW and ultimately probably my favorite from the album anyway.)
