Yellowcard Band • Page 207

Same. HATED it when it came out. Wanted OA part II. Really like about half of it. All of my favs are on your list except for waiting game.

 

Paper walls at one is an extremely hot take.

 

It’s not at all though. I’ve seen plenty of lists with it at 1

 

Hmm. Cant say I have.

 

Yeah that's the one that I actually never heard at all until this week. Eager to give it another listen. I didn't dislike anything on it, but on first listen the only songs that stayed in my head were Awakening and Here I Am Alive.

 

Southern Air, Paper Walls, and obviously OA are the 3 I consistently see in the top spot. Saying L&S, LaS, or s/t at #1 would be hotter takes but their discography is very consistent, especially to fans who've followed their entire careers

 

Southern Air, Lift a Sail, and Ocean Avenue are the ones I go back to the most.

 

more like "lift a sale and float far away and never return" am i right?

 

I return to Paper Walls, Southern Air, Lift a Sail, Lights & Sounds, and WYTTSY Acoustic A LOT.

 

I guess I must listen to Yellowcard a lot. The Ocean Ave to Southern Air run is greatness and I go back to a bunch of songs on Lift A Sail and Yellowcard ST. On occasion I’ll go back and listen to One For The Kids because because that’s the album I discovered this band with years ago. October Nights does not get enough credit for how good that song is and how it shaped their sound moving forward.

 

Underdog EP is also great

 

I honestly listen to Lights & Sounds and WYTTSY the most. So I don't even belong in this thread probably, haven't even seen the latter mentioned that I recall

 

I listen to everything from OA to Yellowcard a lot still except for lift a sail

 

October nights is def the highlight on that album. I also discovered them with that album. 10th grade I think it was.

 

The only main ones i dont go back to regularly are lights and sounds and the self titled.

 

not at all

 

I have never listened to Paper Walls all the way through, but I own every other album of theirs from Ocean Avenue on

 

You should listen to Paper Walls all the way through

 

Haha I will! I know a few songs from it and tbh I have no idea why I haven't yet. I remember never being able to find the CD

 

Paper Walls is an excellent record. But I could make the case they have four other records on a similar level (OA, Lights and sounds, Southern Air and Lift a Sail)

 

And WYTTSY. Lots of great records.

 

They have a really solid discography. The only album that I feel was a miss was Lights and Sounds. I can barely sit through that one. All the other albums I ranked in the bottom half (Self Titled, LaS, Southern Air) don't have any songs I'd intentionally skip, but there are definitely some weaker songs on them.

 

WYTTSY is the only other album I just could never get into for some reason. For You and Your Denial is one of the best comeback songs from this scene, along with My Songs Know...

 

My Ocean Avenue copy shipped!

 

For You and Your Denial is a great comeback song. Agreed. Signature violin sound to intro the song and then band back in full force.

See Me Smiling is so good. Love how he has multiple songs where he sings about family members and loss on different albums. The Sing for Me video also has a nice and inspiring touch.

Only thing that could have made WYTTSY better is if Triple Please had made it on the record as well or was a bside.
