There already is one. I have it.

 

That person had no right to point out how close to 20 OA is.

Holy fuck

 

Love my YC boxset.

 

I love it so much that he's playing with NFG. I'd love for him to be an official member and write with them, but I know he said that's not gonna happen so I'll just imagine what it would be like.

 

the NFG show in SLC last week was soooo much fun, and it was so cool seeing Ryan play live again too.

 

Touring with NFG will hopefully give him some time to write for his solo project. He sounded busy in earlier interviews with his work and producing, but has no additional responsibilities on this tour beyond playing.

You never know if he’s on the tour bus throwing in an occasional ideas to NFG while writing/demoing. I’m still hoping for a song where he an Jordan share vocal duties (and just call it a guest appearance). He’s briefly contributed vocal to the alt version of Ready and Willing Ascension version.

Also, “someone” needs to still leak the Ryan and Patrick of Fall Out Boy version of Here I Am Alive.

 

Post is gone

 

It's been a 'Gifts and Curses' kind of day. Now I gotta watch Spiderman 2.

 

Bon Iver releasing a new album (22, A Million was released the same day as Yellowcard) reminded me that we'd be in a new Yellowcard album cycle already if they were still together.

I am now sad.

 

I feel you. I’ve been jamming to Southern Air this week. I love that I can finally listen to it without being reminded of a terrible time in my life. It’s almost like a completely new album for me.

 

Listened to Lift a Sail today. It's still a beautiful album. Its almost 5 years old and I think it came out before its time. I feel like it would've been better received if it dropped today. I know I probably would've appreciated it more given what I listen to these days.

 

The underdog of their discography

 

I had mixed feelings about it when it came out but I have come to like it more these days, so I agree.

 

I love Lift a Sail. I sometimes wonder if it had been better received with a different lead single. Like would The Deepest Well have gotten people pumped for it so they accept it more or would it have set it up for an even more polarizing response?

 

I really like Lift A Sail. Might even put it at #3 behind Southern Air and Paper Walls.

 

I can agree with this. SA is hands down a fantastic album. I finally came around to it and can listen to it without being reminded of a terrible time in my life. So, its def up there for me now.

 

Lift A Sail is fantastic, hearing those songs instantly takes me back to that rough time and the memories associated with it. My favorite album along with S/T at this point.

 

I loved Lift a Sail when it came out, but now it reminds me of a bad time of my life and I have difficulty listening to it now.

 

I spun Lift a Sail yesterday too. I listened to that album a lot right after my grandpa passed away, which was five years ago yesterday, so it's always a pretty melancholy listen for me, but hopeful in a way too. I think Southern Air is the perfect Yellowcard record, whereas Sail has some sequencing/pacing issues. But it's probably the record of theirs that means the most to me, personally.

 

That record still doesn't do it for me, even after all this time. I respect where they went with it and I think the music is good, but I just can't get into it. Southern Air holds up as one of my favorite records of all time, and When You're Through Thinking Say Yes has also stood the test of time, too which I did not expect.

 

I find this to be their worst album.

 

I really love the underdog EP. It's classic pop punk from that era.
