Some of the weaker tracks kill this for me

They're not bad, just really, really forgettable. 4/5 because there are enough great tracks + title track nostalgia

Nah I like that one. Cool song to practice my acoustic picking. Basically the second half save that one and Believe. They're not bad, but just forgettable. I don't even remember how they go

Yeah I agree in general, especially considering all the nostalgia and memories I have with Ocean Ave it's hard for me to say how the song holds up now.



Still I love Yellowcard for what they are, e.g., melodic pop punk (I'd go as far as to label Ocean Ave and Only One as Pop Rock/Punk just because it doesn't feel that punky compared to something off Paper Walls, say, The Takedown).



Stay What You Are > When You're Through Thinking, Say Yes = Through Being Cool > Ocean Avenue

but I'm probably the only person who thinks this

Stay What You Are is like a 4.6 for me, WYTTSY is like a 4.20, same with TBC, and this is like a 4.0 flat

I think At Your Funeral is majorly overrated for Saves the Day



Firefly >>>>>>>>>>>>> At Your Funeral.

With You Around. Song rules and is catchy as fuck. Prob my 2nd fav off that album

It's also the reason I started listening to Saves the Day

with you around is also the reason why I decided to saves the day. I love how andcas never lets me

Whaaaat. Firefly is easily the best haha, one of my favorite songs ever. I can't pick after that. I really dig See You but it's so short. I'm thinking:

Firefly

This Is Not an Exit

Freakish but really the last one is up for grabs



At Your Funeral would be like 5th for me

I could sing At Your Funeral and Nightingale for hours.



I'm still trying to remember the lyrics for most of the rest of the album so that may be why. I wished At Your Funeral had a bigger tempo change after the first (half) chorus, I always imagine the song being like 50% faster after that part.

Nightingale always felt like the weakest of the "ballads" which may not be an accurate term but is what I describe it, Freakish (although admittedly verse>>chorus>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>bridge), and This is Not an Exit.



It's still a great song. I don't about At Your Funeral. It might have been me just listening to the song so much a year or so ago . I agree the song should have been faster at that change. I think that's probably what makes it meh for me, actually
