Song Battle #7

[dire iris]

Welcome to the song battle! Discuss the two songs here. The winner will be revealed <t:1709740800:R>

[regal pilot]

Second easiest vote yet, only behind CSTD

[tame reef]

Polarize >>

[floral urchin]

if YOU PEOPLE LET BYSYD WIN I WILL LOSE MY MIND

[royal flare]

any song that tells us to “open our slits” is immediately out the window. the only thing that song has going for it is the instrumental.

[simple galleon]

Sorry BYSYD, I love self titled with all my soul, but you’re pretty mid

[novel hollow]

im so sorry bysd

but it's just

the least good self titled song

[keen hollow]

this one’s going to polarize ez

like especially with all the clancy stuff happening it’s easier than ever to connect bf songs to the lore so

[alpine sleet]

bysyd is the worst tøp song

[quasi hamlet]

Easy choice here

[severe tulip]

I will be the shooter for bysyd 😔

that bridge makes me ascend like damnn

learning it on the piano made me love the song more it’s so pretty y’all don’t get it like I do ✋

[pseudo horizon]

Open the slits in your face

[severe tulip]

if the vocals were different and that one line changed ya it would be wayyy higher for everyone I’m done with the slander it’s soooo good

[pseudo horizon]

Yeah it’s a pretty song and I don’t mind the line (still voting Polarize)

[severe tulip]

polarize does go hard but the ratio gonna be crazy I have to support my queen

[pseudo horizon]

Definitely not the worst s/t song

[north oak]

I despise polarize

[regal pilot]

If BYSYD has only one fan, it’s you. If BYSYD has no fans, then that means you are no longer on earth. If the world is against BYSYD, then you are against the world.

[north oak]

Before>>

[white lichen]

bf just hits different icl

[north oak]

Frrr

[vague rock]

nobody like that trash ass bysyd

[pseudo relic]

i LOVE bysyd

top 3 best on self titled argue w the wall

polarized has aged bad for me i almost always skip

[alpine sleet]

these takes are making me rethink my stance on the death penalty

[vague rock]

top 3 self titled in no particular order is fall away air catcher and awap

bysyd and friend please r tied for last

[alpine sleet]

fall away will always be one of the pilots’ best point blank period 🙏🙏

[nimble ridge]

SO TRUE

[alpine sleet]

you get it 🤝🤝

[flat river]

🍚

[vague rock]

maybe 💔

[alpine sleet]

i love friend please 💔

[regal pilot]

ramona flowers pfp loves song that starts “open the slits in your face”,

[civic crypt]

BYSYD ONE OF MY FAVORITE SELF TITLED SONGS

[floral urchin]

oh this was good lmfao

[urban forum]

god i cant stand before you start your day

sorry but it is top 5 worst top song

absolutely just cant listen to it

[keen hollow]

hey i like bysyd :(

[pseudo relic]

i like the piano more than the words 😁 & i didn't know someone's profile picture would invalidate an opinion but i guess that's clikkie logic

[calm onyx]

this one is really hard for me

[keen hollow]

i voted for polarize but bysyd hits sometimes

[calm onyx]

bysyd has hit hard before but also polarize has too, depends on my mood i guess

polarize is def my fav blurryface song and think it was my fav top song too at some point

[regal pilot]

It doesn’t invalidate it I just wanted an excuse to point out the pfp (I love scott pilgrim not hate)

[pseudo relic]

fair

and it was a good drag tbh so gg

[solar hornet]

so sorry to the BYSYD enjoyers but it's their worst song and it's not even close

easiest choice yet

[calm onyx]

but the la-da is super calming

[floral urchin]

bysyd is good imo but it is weak

it’s good because it’s a cute song

but it can’t hold up against actually well done well composed and properly lyrically composed songs

[solar hornet]

there is no song where you need to be saying "slits in your face"

genuinely uncomfortable LMAO

[floral urchin]

it was in like 2011 give the poor man a break 😭

[solar hornet]

no!!!!!! /j

[calm onyx]

*2009

[solar hornet]

and 2009 but ikwym

[floral urchin]

I do agree tho

like

I think that line really does just put the nail in the coffin

[solar hornet]

the fact that it's the first line in the song just sets the mood right there and then

[calm onyx]

yeah i probably wouldn't have bysyd mean so much if it wasn't important to me

[floral urchin]

bysyd was unironically like

[solar hornet]

it's just such a boring, uncomfortable, and odd song especially by their standards

[floral urchin]

a very elite “freshman year bus ride at 6 am to school in the rain” song

[solar hornet]

there are no enjoyable elements to me

[solar hornet]

tbh there's good examples of this

mad world, jar of hearts, any early coldplay track

[floral urchin]

okay well when I was in freshman year I was unmedicated and incredibly weird and only listened to 21p so give me a BREAK HERE

[alpine sleet]

bysyd is just

Fine ig

[solar hornet]

no ur fair i was the same way

[alpine sleet]

polarize is a banger though

[solar hornet]

shoutout to unmedicated freshman clikkies

[calm onyx]

went with polarize in the end

[floral urchin]

mid/late 2016 - late 2017 was a horrible year for me I was at my@most insufferable

[calm onyx]

tbf i listen(ed) to it a lot, especially on my very bad days

my probably very wrong interpretation is polarize is more of "we're not okay" finger guns while bysyd is like someone giving you a blanket

[pearl berry]

||im so sorry but polarize is my least favorite song from theirs-||

[molten hull]

polarize is mid, but Before You Start Your Day is way better

[heady moon]

Polarize better

[upbeat valve]

u can keep discussing about it but

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HojuEwN7P_M&ab_channel=JustMeEmily

[heady moon]

Blurryface is better than Self Titled

[upbeat valve]

This.

imagine a world without this

[heady moon]

sorry but it's true

BYSYD was immediately dropped down a peg when Tyler called eye lids "slits"

grosses me out

[molten hull]

eh

I may be the exeption but Blurryface has a lot of the worst songs they have ever made

[heady moon]

I think this is kind of an unfair battle tho

[molten hull]

doubt epsecially

[upbeat valve]

doubt is gas

[pseudo relic]

||clear|| is right there

[heady moon]

one was made by a 17 year old in his basement in 2009 and the other is apart of one of the most successful albums ever made

[upbeat valve]

i feel like this performance alone is enough to make you choose polarize

[heady moon]

kinda hard to compare imo

[heady moon]

what is wrong with you

[molten hull]

bro what that song is goated

[upbeat valve]

trolling fr

[heady moon]

you are insane

[vestal lava]

we got some terrible takes going on in here

[molten hull]

idk Blurryface honestly hasn't held up compared to everything else

[heady moon]

nah it has

sure it has some of their worst lyricism

[molten hull]

Self Titled is a sad piano ballet album and it works

[heady moon]

but it has some bangers

[regal pilot]

My brother in christ rab is right there and yet half this discord is convinced it’s the best album ever smh

[heady moon]

nah it doesn't work as their first album

[pseudo relic]

one day yall will see the light

one day

[heady moon]

Clear is so good tho

[vestal lava]

i cant wait to see someone try to defend rab trees when it comes up

[pseudo relic]

all my homies hate rab trees

[heady moon]

their worst song is RAB Trees

[regal pilot]

In my mind self titled is what the pick me guys play on the dorm piano their freshman year trying to pick up girls

[heady moon]

absolute assterclass

[pseudo relic]

i can agree w that

[regal pilot]

gives me the ick

[molten hull]

RAB is also bad in some ways, but that is mostly the use of autotune in tyler's voice. All of the unique stuff is fantastic

[upbeat valve]

the only rab version i will kinda defend is rab house of gold, if the other song isnt That great

[heady moon]

RAB Ode To Sleep is good

i like the "I go up up up-up-u-u-u-up to the ceiling" part

[vestal lava]

so true

[molten hull]

I think you guys forget that Self Titled was basically made by a completely different band

[regal pilot]

RAB stans will hear this and go “Tyler’s best performance ever 😍”

https://youtu.be/5daYd91k4ws?si=l0LSadEYVdyPwEaX

[molten hull]

and in that context it is good

[heady moon]

it's not as good as Vessel Ode To Sleep but it's good

[severe tulip]

and I’m proud

[heady moon]

also Lovely

Lovely is one of their best songs

so no RAB hate

[pseudo relic]

vessel lovely is better than rab lovely imo

[vestal lava]

i hope vessel lovely is in the voting

[pseudo relic]

but just bc the better production bc otherwise they're not that diff

[heady moon]

I've never noticed much of a difference besides Vessel having better prod

yeah

[molten hull]

the only stuff on RAB that is mid is the stuff that got remade on vessel

[pseudo relic]

i think it will be!

[molten hull]

purly because it exists

[heady moon]

yeah that's fair

[molten hull]

otherwise RAB is fantastic

[heady moon]

the only reason that is tho is because they exist in a better, more cohesive state

it makes the RAB versions sound like demos

[molten hull]

exactly, that's my point

[vestal lava]

well this is why tyler pretends it doesnt exist

[regal pilot]

Yall are digging in the graveyard for songs buried six feet under trying to find the least desiccated body to praise

[heady moon]

hold on imma go listen to Lovely

[regal pilot]

“The best songs are the ones never redone” smh

[molten hull]

it's more that he can't acknowledge it giving that their label murdered it

[molten hull]

it's fucking true though

[upbeat valve]

Hurt

[regal pilot]

Tyler cooked too hard and he had to smother those songs to avoid top never succeeding commercially because he knew they’d never make a song as good as Trees

[molten hull]

unless we are talking about those trench remakes in certain places, those are worse than the original

[regal pilot]

It could only name their future albums look bad if people could compare them to their peak

[heady moon]

I WILL MAKE YOU BELIEVE YOU ARE LOVELY!!!!!!!1!!1@

[vestal lava]

anyways polarize is better

[heady moon]

🗣️🔥🗣️🔥

[molten hull]

I mean I feel like my subjective opinion is

1. Trench
2. Vessel
3. RAB
4. SAI
5. Self Titled
6. Blurryface

trench realistically is the best album they every released

clancy looks like it could dethrone it though

[heady moon]

from pretty much every standpoint yeah it is

Clancy could be better tho

[upbeat valve]

blurryface

[heady moon]

YOU SAY THINGS WITH YOUR MOUTH COME OUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

[upbeat valve]

thats criminal

[vestal lava]

i think you forgot a few words

[heady moon]

that's enough out of you

[heady moon]

LMAO WHOOPS

i got too excited

[upbeat valve]

yeah thats it

[regal pilot]

I’ll agree that trench objectively defines their sound better than any other album, but it’s probably my least listened to (besides rab I don’t count discontinueds)

[upbeat valve]

goodbye

[molten hull]

bruh

[heady moon]

also where the fuck is scaled and icy

[regal pilot]

But self titled above blurryface?

[molten hull]

whoops

[heady moon]

you included RAB but not SAI?

[vestal lava]

top fans like: scaled and what? i dont know that one

[molten hull]

fixed now

[pseudo relic]

don't do my girl sai like that...

[regal pilot]

Oh there ain’t no way

This guy

Get him out

[heady moon]

swap BF and Self Titled and now we can talk

[upbeat valve]

sai over blurryfaceeeeeee

😭

[pseudo relic]

blurryface last is kinda crazy

[vestal lava]

in no world could i defend putting rab over blurryface

[upbeat valve]

idk bro just got something against bf i suppose

[molten hull]

guys I'm sorry but Blurryface has more skips that any of their other albums

[regal pilot]

I could understand if SAI and blurryface trade blows depending on how you feel mood-wise, but like… self titled in between?

[heady moon]

I'm sorry but self titled is just objectively their worst album

[regal pilot]

You’re crazy

Demented

[vestal lava]

okay mr "i dont like doubt"

[alpine sleet]

blurryface has every song certified at least gold for a reason

[pseudo relic]

tbf when bf came out i didn't like doubt til i heard it live

[heady moon]

well so does vessel

[upbeat valve]

theres no such thing as a skippable song from a top album (except rab versions)

[heady moon]

so that point isn't really valid

[molten hull]

I also dislike message man & polarize

[dire iris]

LEVEL UP: You are now level 1!

[pseudo relic]

MESSAGE MAN?

[regal pilot]

We’re gonna find out you voted CSTD two votes ago aren’t we

[vestal lava]

get this guy outta here

[alpine sleet]

yeah but vessel has mid songs

[heady moon]

message man I can understand but POLARIZE?!

[alpine sleet]

bruh how are you alive

[heady moon]

BRO WHAT ARE THESE TAKES

[pseudo relic]

WDYM YOU CAN UNDERSTAND MESSAGE MAN

[alpine sleet]

MESSAGE MAN YOU CAN UNDERSTAND????????

[heady moon]

IT HAS LIKE 1 MID SONG

[alpine sleet]

WTAF

[alpine sleet]

the run and go and semi automatic boom two mids right there

[vestal lava]

message man slander? not in my house

[regal pilot]

Wild yall have any skips at all in the discography but go off anyway

[pseudo relic]

where's the guy that clowned me for liking bysyd can he come back and clown these ppl too /lh

[molten hull]

no CSTY is arguably the worst song they have every made

and heathens

[alpine sleet]

no it isnt

HEATHENS??&,&,&:!/$$;!/!:/$

GENUINELY FUCKKKKKK YOU

[pseudo relic]

heathens is mid but not the worst

[heady moon]

IM SORRY BUT MESSAGE MAN HAS THE WORST BARS TYLER HAS EVER LAID

[alpine sleet]

WHAT THE FUCK

YOU DONT GET IT LIKE ME.

[vestal lava]

i cannot take these terrible opinions any longer. polarize wins. goodbye

[molten hull]

TRUE

[heady moon]

"please use discretion when you're messing with the message man, these lyrics aren't for everyone believe you understand"

like tf does that even mean

[molten hull]

also that lyric is fairly local about comments is just like bruh

[regal pilot]

Sir if your platform is just dissing anything that more than 5 people liked you need to change your pfp off of David Tennant

[heady moon]

OK NOW HOLD ON BACK OFF

[pseudo relic]

LMFAOOO

[heady moon]

FAIRLY LOCAL IS DEBATABLY THE BEST SONG ON BF

[pseudo relic]

WHAT

[heady moon]

SO CHILL OUT

[molten hull]

now wait a minute, Twenty One Pilots & Doctor Who are two drastically different things here man

[heady moon]

you heard me

I love Fairly Local

it holds a special place in my heart

[upbeat valve]

every top album is better than the previous one basically (except sai), this is the only take ever

[molten hull]

No Heavydirtysoul?

[heady moon]

HDS is 2nd

[molten hull]

that song is the GOAT

[heady moon]

but Fairly Local is better imo

[round sun]

bowl of rice is winning this theres no competition

[regal pilot]

I can respect this take, I don’t entirely agree but I respect it. But not that man over there…

[heady moon]

wow

you almost had it

[round sun]

i tried my best 😢

[heady moon]

I disagree

BF doesn't top Vessel

[alpine sleet]

yes it so does

[heady moon]

no it so doesn't

[alpine sleet]

bf fucks vessel mercilessly

[molten hull]

no it so doesn't

[upbeat valve]

literally the start of the lore

[round sun]

this is a very agreeable take

however

[regal pilot]

Oh hell nah you ain’t gonna say slit eyes is cringe and then the only bf song you defend is the one that goes “gangsters don’t cry therefore I’m mr misty eyed”

[round sun]

self titled is above rab

[upbeat valve]

treu

true

[heady moon]

that doesn't mean anything to me when we're talking the actual music

[regal pilot]

I love heavydirtysoul for the record but you can’t just switch like that

[alpine sleet]

ABSOLUTELY NO FUCKING HDS SLANDER

[pseudo relic]

i love fairly local and it was the first song they put after i stanned but the best off bf?? idk

[alpine sleet]

WHAT THE HELL

[round sun]

and sai goes down a bit

[upbeat valve]

the music still better

[round sun]

hi keons

[alpine sleet]

haii

[round sun]

keons what did you vote for

[upbeat valve]

exactly

[molten hull]

bruh what is this take

[upbeat valve]

autumn gets it

[pseudo relic]

YALL DONT UNDERSTAND THE STREET POETRY VID LIKE I DO IF YOURE TALKING SHIT ON HDS

[alpine sleet]

polarize obviously

[regal pilot]

I love hds but he can’t defend that as the only bf song after what he said about bysyd

[round sun]

lovely okay carry on

[molten hull]

HD is the best rapping from tyler we will probably ever get

[heady moon]

1. Trench
2. Vessel
3. Blurryface
4. Regional At Best
5. Scaled And Icy
6. Self Titled

that's my ranking

cry about it

[round sun]

theres an infestation in my minds imagination ok that is pretty good

[solar hornet]

clear goes CRAZY what

[alpine sleet]

ID YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH HDS YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ME

[molten hull]

I mean is pretty fair though, (other than self titled)

[round sun]

i fucking love hds

[heady moon]

the start of HDS slaps but I love the "yo this song will never be on the radio" part in fairly local

[regal pilot]

No one here is saying anything negative about hds calm down girlie

[pseudo relic]

listen

[alpine sleet]

never

[solar hornet]

listening...

[alpine sleet]

hds is my wife id@go to war for her

[heady moon]

bro it's a fucking song

[solar hornet]

hds would be better if he screamed in the outro like he does live

[heady moon]

chill out my g

[solar hornet]

no i see the vision

u just dont get it

[regal pilot]

Are you Paris because honey you’re out here starting the war in the first place

[round sun]

are you polyaourusmus

[heady moon]

nah cause yall are weird

[molten hull]

I think we all can agree that No Phun Indended is kinda all over the place. Some good, some bad

[solar hornet]

u just dont get the vision babes its ok

[heady moon]

I'll be honest

[regal pilot]

Not top moving on

[round sun]

yeah bc its not even an album

[solar hornet]

it's definitely apparent that it's his first album

[heady moon]

never listened to No Phun Intended

no intentions to

[pseudo relic]

ok keep listening

[round sun]

npi is not an album its just a bunch of songs and only like six of them actually are npi the rest are just random songs

[pseudo relic]

i haven't listened to npi since like 2016 and i will keep it that way

[regal pilot]

If we rope in NPI then we can rope in the switchfoot cover

[alpine sleet]

sounds like smth someone who doesnt get it would say

[solar hornet]

you're not missingggg much? i mean there's a few songs i would argue are essential for the band's discography (drown, save, just like yesterday, just to name a few) but otherwise it's just a cool historical point for tyler

[upbeat valve]

imma ask, whats the song with the best Screaming (theres only one correct answer)

[solar hornet]

jumpsuit

[round sun]

goner

[pseudo relic]

if we rope in npi can we rope in uhhhhhhh

[alpine sleet]

are you a millennial /genq

[upbeat valve]

i mean Non live versions

[regal pilot]

jumpsuit is the best at screaming for screaming

[solar hornet]

jumpsuit

[round sun]

goner

goner

[upbeat valve]

did you guys Ever listen to the car radio stems?

[molten hull]

this is pretty fair, and alot of the good bars have been used in other things

[round sun]

goner

[regal pilot]

no, gen z

[upbeat valve]

like seriously

[alpine sleet]

ive never been called “girlie” and “honey” so close together in my lifw

[solar hornet]

jumpsuit is their best song and it isnt even close

[round sun]

goner.

[solar hornet]

it's more a gen z thing than millennials i would argue

[upbeat valve]

you never listened to the car radio stems okay

[solar hornet]

yall dont get it and thats okay

[alpine sleet]

im songsexual

[solar hornet]

youll see... YOULL AAAALL SEE

[pseudo relic]

your fav doesn't have to be their best just remember that

[alpine sleet]

it feels so millennial its like using “hun” in an argument

[molten hull]

man you guys love arguing about opinions

I mean I do as well

[solar hornet]

they're synonymous. art is subjective; if someone says a song is an artist's "best", it's clear they're implying it's their favorite

no song can be objectively an artist's best

[regal pilot]

sorry let me just start writing this like an essay then

[alpine sleet]

great thanks :3

[solar hornet]

i use hon as a term of endearment

[alpine sleet]

thats fair

[pseudo relic]

fair enough i think it depends on the person

[regal pilot]

if it makes you feel any better I don’t use honey or girlie when I actually talk

[pseudo relic]

my fav top songs are by no means their best

[upbeat valve]

goner live is probably the best but as for Studio songs then its 100% car radio, jumpsuit is a good answer but no

[alpine sleet]

id say fall away is my favorite but it isnt their best though

[pseudo relic]

top 20 at least

[solar hornet]

yeah my bf makes the same argument that he has a favorite and "the best"

[alpine sleet]

awesome

[solar hornet]

but idk for a song to be an artist's "best" that implies that all of their songs can be objectively judged and rated

which they can't, because music is art and art is subjective

so i just assume when someone says it's their "best", they mean their favorite

if that makes sense

[regal pilot]

the best screamer is completely smithereens smh /s

[solar hornet]

i know you mean screamer like screaming in the song but i thought of like a screamer like the flashing jumpscare gifs

jenna joseph jumpscare

[regal pilot]

so true except for me I can objectively rate them and the best is-

[solar hornet]

[pseudo relic]

smithereens > tear in my heart >>>>> formidable

[solar hornet]

truth

[regal pilot]

the craving mv…

[upbeat valve]

last car radio scream (from the stems)

[regal pilot]

OKAY but tear in my heart?????? oh mg god)???????

I love it so much???

[upbeat valve]

tell me with a straight face that its worse than jumpsuit

[pseudo relic]

i LOVE tear in my heart but smithereens is so sweet and really pretty live

[regal pilot]

The first 10 seconds of tear in my heart, before he even speaks?

So

Iconic

[molten hull]

I mean "I'm driving, here I sit, cursing my government For not using my taxes to fill holes with more cement" is amazing

[regal pilot]

Yes and you know what album that is

[molten hull]

gives me TB Saga vibes in a mature way

[molten hull]

yes I do

not saying BF is all bad

just mostly

It also adds that I find this album overplayed as hell

[pseudo relic]

fair it is a little overplayed

[regal pilot]

I can and have listened to blurryface on repeat in my car for 12 hour drives

[molten hull]

I partically blame middle school me for that though

[regal pilot]

that CD is worn RAGGED

[molten hull]

it's all I listened to for like 1.5 years

[regal pilot]

The Judge? Hello? Iconic

[molten hull]

yeah the Judge is in fact fantastic

[regal pilot]

Okay maybe you’re not so bad

[molten hull]

its the couple songs like polarize, doubt, and message man I don't like

Stressed Out & Ride are too overplayed

the rest is great

[regal pilot]

Message Man is kind of dorky but I still love it

I’ll admit polarise is mid

But in line with the album it’s great

It provides a good pallet cleanser

palette?

[molten hull]

I guess that's fair

idk I don't tend to listen to just one TOP album at a time

[regal pilot]

When I think of blurryface I think in terms of the album and where the song is in the album

Same for SAI

Trench and self titled are very much “individual song” albums for me

I don’t listen to them in one group much

[molten hull]

I don't think I listen to any of the albums in order or by themselves anymore

so my opinions are based on the songs themselves

[regal pilot]

At this point when one song ends I can hear the next one in the album start, it’s a conditioning thing

They’re CDs in my car so when I start it the album just begins on its own

[solar hornet]

okay!

[regal pilot]

I can hear bounce man from a minute away

[young magnet]

I dont think I've played any top album before trench as an album in years

[pseudo relic]

I LOVE THE JUDGE

that's my song

[solar hornet]

the judge has aged so well tbh

[dire iris]

LEVEL UP: You are now level 13!

[solar hornet]

hi nico

[pseudo relic]

my tattoo song i love the judge

[regal pilot]

that is NOT a straight face

[molten hull]

the Judge easily fits on basically every album since

[solar hornet]

elaborate

[regal pilot]

hold on I’m trying to figure out if I just put myself in a trap or not

[solar hornet]

HDKSJF???

im just asking how it isn't a straight face

[regal pilot]

I was trying to do a joke about nb/trans/fae/ace but then I realized after I sent that I have no clue what your pronouns or sitch is and also that still isn’t ‘straight’ so I went “oh this is not good”

my bad

[solar hornet]

GSNAKFNSKFLSLF

no that's really funny actually ur fine

i use she/they/fae/pup , but most ppl use just she/they hdksjfkd

most ppl don't really get neopronouns which is whatever

[regal pilot]

gotcha gotcha

[solar hornet]

the way my autistic ass thought i wasnt doing a straight enough of a face so i recorded 3 more attempts trying to look as straight faced as possible

[regal pilot]

oh no I was just going for a “have you SEEN your gay ass”

[solar hornet]

LOOOOL ur not wrong

i love women....

anyway back to the topic at hand,

[regal pilot]

polarize >>>>

[solar hornet]

easily

[molten hull]

Before You Start Your Day

[solar hornet]

really ?

[regal pilot]

<<<<<<

[molten hull]

I will die on this hill

[solar hornet]

i'm interested in your reasoning

[regal pilot]

then perish

[solar hornet]

because to me it's their worst song so i am genuinely intrigued in why you prefer it over polarize

[molten hull]

I really enjoy their sad piano ballets

[solar hornet]

/nm

[molten hull]

every single one is genuinely fantastic

polarize has some wierd parts

[hearty mural]

this is the easiest vote ever y’all let’s not fck this up

[regal pilot]

it’s fair to have a preference for a certain sound (I like bounce man I can’t judge)

[solar hornet]

like what?

[regal pilot]

If you’re here for the piano ballads then

that’s your taste

[solar hornet]

i do too but for me, BYSYD is so uneventful, boring, and unnecessarily melancholy. nothing particularly noteworthy happens

[molten hull]

I mean polarize seemily has the same lyrics over and over, there really isn't a flow

[solar hornet]

also they started the song with this, a song that doesn't have many lyrics as it is

[solar hornet]

right, like "la da la da la da la da da" in BYSYD?

[regal pilot]

it could’ve been worse

[solar hornet]

i don't think it could've!

[regal pilot]

The word moist anywhere in there

Instantly the worst sing in bidtory

[solar hornet]

im gonna be so real

and dont take this personally

[brave crest]

sing in bidtory

[regal pilot]

I’ve been murdered

[solar hornet]

but nobody is special for disliking the word "moist"

nobody likes that word its fine its whatever !!!!

[regal pilot]

I think the word is just fine but in this specific context it just makes it gross as an image

I’m not saying “lol moist!!!”

I’m saying moist face slits

Is a gross image

[solar hornet]

if you REALLY wanna make someone uncomfortable you should try the word "seepage"

or "fester"

[regal pilot]

seepage is whatever, your gangrenous gashes can discharge seepage all day long

won’t bother me

[molten hull]

No it's more like the fact that the corus and first verse about it

[solar hornet]

?

[molten hull]

I'm not saying I don't like polarize

[solar hornet]

that's fine i just don't get what that means

[round sun]

oh goody keons left

[solar hornet]

the chorus and first verse are different

[molten hull]

The piano ballets tell a story as they go

[solar hornet]

??

[molten hull]

Polarize is cours first verse corus first verse

[round sun]

discord user

[molten hull]

It's a pattern with no variation

[solar hornet]

it's chorus, first verse, pre chorus, chorus, second verse, pre chorus, chorus, bridge, chorus, outro

pretty standard song structure

BYSYD has a lot of the same, verse 1 ,chorus, verse 2, chorus, bridge, outro

plus at least the chorus of polarize actually has lyrics

[round sun]

lyrics dont mean everything

[rose scarab]

dang bro

i love that song

[solar hornet]

they do in a song where there's nothing else going on

the piano playing is fine but dry and uneventful, and tyler's vocal performance is good as expected

[rose scarab]

never been a huge polarize fan

[solar hornet]

really the only thing left to focus on is the lyrics, and that is whats front and center in that song

but the lyrics suck so

[rose scarab]

but i did used to listen to bysyd on repeat

[solar hornet]

i know but why goody?

[round sun]

love or hate bysyd all you want but theres no way you can put it over polarize no way

[solar hornet]

agreed

[rose scarab]

nah

[round sun]

bc she is my friend so i can say that

[solar hornet]

i mean we're all just sharing opinions at the end of the day

[solar hornet]

i see

i thought u were being mean for no reason dhakfkkd

[regal pilot]

there’s this like breathy thing Tyler does with his voice in self titled and still a little by vessel where he slurs the last syllable of some words that I just hate

[rose scarab]

im not a huge fan of polarize

[round sun]

i HATE keons she SUCKS all of her opinilns are WRONG

[rose scarab]

like its good

but

[solar hornet]

hdkskfksl

[regal pilot]

Like how choir singers are told “make sure to never sing an r sound, soften it to an h”

But then he applied that to

[rose scarab]

bysyd is so much more smh

[regal pilot]

every word’s end

[solar hornet]

i mean i like it! its not really their best but certainly better than bysyd imo

[solar hornet]

im curious in what you see in the song

[rose scarab]

ah

well

i listened to it a lot when i was struggling with some mental health stuff

so ig it has a sentimental thing attached

polarize doesnt have that at all

[solar hornet]

that's fair

i'm the same way with self titled as a whole tbh

[rose scarab]

like bysyd is like a lullaby

[rose scarab]

yeahhhhh

[solar hornet]

implicit demand for proof is one of my favs from the band

so i get where ur coming from

[rose scarab]

oh yeah

that ones great

i love the other albums too yk

but that one is just

special

[solar hornet]

mhm mhm

trench is my fav but self titled is a close second for sentimental reasons

[rose scarab]

gotta be in the right mood tho

scaled and icy is my favorite

but id say the same

for my second

[rancid wolf]

before you start your day is soooo overhated

its amazing

however polarize better

[wild bane]

congrats this is the pilots worst song for sure

[solar hornet]

you get me

[rose scarab]

frrr

[rose scarab]

how bro

[rancid wolf]

nahh i dont think so

its inoffensive

[rose scarab]

worst for me is maybe

lane boy

[rancid wolf]

they have songs with cringey lyrics or mid sounding instrumentals

but this is just a piano song

[rose scarab]

literally

with beautiful calming lyrics

[dire iris]

LEVEL UP: You are now level 1!

[rose scarab]

ive made it

my boys gonna get massacred tho

i already know it

i will proudly be the sole vote

🫡

[hardy citrus]

It’s today I discover people don’t like before you start your day and think it’s the worst song of st

[rose scarab]

same

like i understand not being a fan

[hardy citrus]

Like it’s so soothing how can u hate it

[rose scarab]

but i assumed that would just be connected with not being a fan of the st album

[rose scarab]

literally

[hardy citrus]

Of course everyone has different taste

[rose scarab]

indeed

[hardy citrus]

But pollarize is also really good

[rose scarab]

||but im still right /s||

[rose scarab]

yeah

theyre very different vibes

[hardy citrus]

Yeahhh

This makes the choice sooo hard

Ima need a moment to listen to the two and make an objective decision

But for now before you start you’re day has my heart it’s a beautiful song

[solar hornet]

i genuinely think tb saga is better than bysyd

/srs

[wild bane]

slits

[hardy citrus]

How ?? Lmao

[solar hornet]

eugh

[floral urchin]

man I love you but come on this ain’t it

you can talk shit in bysyd but let’s not straight up lie 😭

[solar hornet]

imma be honest i relistened to tb saga just now

[floral urchin]

and you hated it?

I think we should make tb saga win if it’s in this lineup

just for the funny

[solar hornet]

there is

a lot more comments abt race in this song than i remember

😭

[floral urchin]

it is a little racey 😭

in an innocent way ofc

[solar hornet]

this is just unnecessary man come on

💀

idrc im just like "huh this is not what i remember"

[rose scarab]

lmaoooo

[floral urchin]

yeah it’s really weird LMFAO

thank god npi was not an actual released thing and someone just kinda found tbsaga somewhere

[rose scarab]

me gusta

that whole song is goofy

[solar hornet]

but yeah i take back what i said abt tb saga being better

[rose scarab]

i play it for my mom sometimes

[rose scarab]

good

i was concerned for you

[meager widget]

I’m fairly sure TB saga wasn’t among the six songs originally on Tyler’s purevolume page

[floral urchin]

it absolutely was not

it’s from some old video I don’t even know the origin of all I know is i’ve seen it

[wild bane]

this volume is NOT pure!

[meager widget]

People just seem to lump all of his early stuff into NPI

Have a crunchy photo

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/940390987841302598/1211507032310550589/image0.jpg

[wild bane]

unsurprisingly these are the good npi tracks

[meager widget]

I also love “Hear Me Now” and “Where Did We Go”

“Going Down” is also great(from that one guy’s CD)

[wild bane]

i think hear me now is good

rest are kinda meh for me

[meager widget]

Pretty sure many of the other tracks aren’t officially named

[wild bane]

i think just like yesterday is cool because of how bad it is

[meager widget]

It was a live performance

Which is find amazing

[wild bane]

the random offbeat garageband sounds at the end are an enigma

[meager widget]

Sadly a lot of the reuploads cut out the end https://youtu.be/Or3M8UkA0dw

I love how he says the rapping part wasn’t that bad

And them a few years later uses said rap in “Ode to Sleep”

[urban forum]

nah its not even the slit thing, which like

dont ge tme wrong, isnt my fave

just whenever it comes on im like “i kinda just wish i was listening to implicit demand for proof”

like it feels kinda filler yknow yknow

[urban forum]

drown and just like yesterday are peak

coulda easily been on self titled, i love seeing verses he really enjoyed be reused

i wanna know what his mindset was like writing taxi cab cuz like… damn

[charred glacier]

Please I’m begging Polarize to win it’s one of the songs that got me into TØP in the first place

[meager widget]

Probably why he doesn’t play a lot of the song off S/T

(Friend, Please in particular)

[round sun]

YES i love this its so silly

[maiden iron]

Help me pollarize help me pollarize

i like polarize better

[urban forum]

word, it’s prob just easiest for him to play addict with a pen/taxi cab on the piano during shows which he still often does. Friend, Please would be hard as it’s more production heavy

hard to do a mashup of it on the spot

[young magnet]

anyone that prefers older songs to newer songs is blinded by nostalgia (with exceptions ofc)

ok that's a very general statement there's a lot of exceptions to that

[novel hollow]

these song battles are bringing out the boldest and hottest takes from y'all 😭

[young magnet]

I did notice that they're bringing out an ugly side of me with a lot of strong opinions

I didnt think I felt that strong of hate to certain songs

like who am I (formidable vs not today)

[vale cairn]

man its the battle of mid rn aint it

[quasi hamlet]

Oh look its me

[vale cairn]

i guess ill pick bysyd because 7th grade me would actually murder me if i didnt

[young magnet]

the double oof was funny I couldn't crop it

[quasi hamlet]

Your welcome. Im here to provide humor

[alpine sleet]

horrible takes

[quasi hamlet]

Speaking of… we got a half horrible take

/jk im not gonna insult anyone

[burnt crescent]

Fuck you

[alpine sleet]

THEN WHAT IS IT

BYSYD IS JUST OBJECTIVELY BORING

THE BRIDGE TRIES TO DO SO MUCH AND THE. ACCOMPLISHES NOTHING

[burnt crescent]

ITS SO PRETTY

I KNOW ITS NOT THE MOST THEMATICALLY DEEP OR SONICALLY INTERESTING BUT ITS JUST

It’s young Tyler and I love it. Polarize I adore you but BYSYD has my vote simply because it’s underappreciated

[wild bane]

la da la da

[gleaming trail]

Y'all bystyd is my comfort song and you're hating on it so much like why? It's so soothing

[alpine sleet]

pity ahh vote

[urban forum]

i weirdly find bystyd to be the opposite of soothing

not that it's like anxiety inducing or anything

but i just find it annoying

[unreal bobcat]

I like bysyd but i like polarize more

[pseudo relic]

this one is so divisive

ngl tho i am rethinking and might change to polarize 😔

[unreal bobcat]

If he didnt say slits the bysyd would be so much better

[pseudo relic]

real tbh

[alpine sleet]

like come on man “eyes” is one syllable too it wouldve worked fine

[solar hornet]

i need the studio recording of just like yesterday

if it was an actual recording instead of a live performance it would be one of his best solo songs

[wild bane]

i attempted a rerecording of it once

i didn't finish because it's so wonky and i got bored

[meager widget]

The fate of many of my projects

[solar hornet]

damnnn

u shouldve finished...

just like yesterday tiltnexus version wld go crazy

[cunning beacon]

i don’t like any of these songs 😭😭😭😭

[wild bane]

we're quite off track of the channel but here's what i got on it

[surreal vine]

Bysyd might just be the worst top song of all time

[pseudo relic]

WHY DO PPL KEEP SAYING THAT

HAVE YOU LISTENED PAST THE FIRST VERSE

THE BRIDGE IS NICE

[wild bane]

corny

well cornier than usual

[burnt crescent]

Open the eyes in your face

[civic crypt]

atleast he didn't say "open the holes in your face"!!

[solar hornet]

HOLY SHIT

This needs to be continued. Immediately.

[wild bane]

it does

[solar hornet]

i will provide vocals for it if i have to

[wild bane]

bruhaps

[solar hornet]

collab of a century

[wild bane]

okay i'm restarting yippie

[solar hornet]

YAHOOO

let me know if u need anything i got you

[rancid wolf]

how

it just repeats the same thing

[alpine sleet]

what does the bridge even mean

i thought it was “know you were”

made holy

[round sun]

those fucking google lyrics are often wrong

[real thicket]

This was actually a no brainer

Before you start your day is the only top song I don't really care for

[real thicket]

The bridge is fine but I still don't like it that much

Overrated imo

[alpine sleet]

i wouldnt call it overrated

its just like

not special though

soooo forgettable lmao

[round sun]

uh huh

[unreal bobcat]

Society if rab, st, and npi were remade with the current production quality

https://tenor.com/view/fantasy-rainbow-waterfall-gif-14553550

[meager widget]

To be honest, I don’t care about sound quality much

(Uses apple wired earbuds and home recorded cassette tapes)

[young magnet]

ya know what

fuck it its 12 am rn i shall listen to the whole discography TONIGHT and come back to you tomorrow with FRESH OPINIONS

[round sun]

i think i should make a habit of listening to the two songs side by side before voting

[young magnet]

you are absolutely right i dont think ive listened to some of these songs since like 2 years

[young magnet]

so far, ive been a little too harsh perhaps

[upbeat valve]

its not

[surreal solar]

BYSYD is a pretty instrumental but

Meh

Although yall calling it the worst song-

Are forgetting abt the song that starts out “your grandpa died when you were 9”

[cunning beacon]

or “🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖i am cold can you hear🤖🤖🤖🤖”

[upbeat valve]

the polarize refrain is just... too amazing

ah-da-da da-da daa da we have problems

[real thicket]

Do not disrespect iofb like that 😤

[cunning beacon]

ngl i forgot t that was iofb i was thinking of rab trees

🤖🤖🤖i want to sayyyyy
🤖🤖🤖🤖

🤖hello🤖

[minor wyvern]

excited to see just by how much polarize will win

[hardy citrus]

Oh god I almost forgot to vote 💀

[cunning beacon]

polarize is not making it out the second round tbh

gonna get sweeped like it’s facing the 2016 warriors

[upbeat valve]

yeah, all the battles till now were mostly easy

[solar hornet]

haha 69

[upbeat valve]

smoked

[quasi hamlet]

Oof

[rose scarab]

massacred😭

[round sun]

back here rq to say smth i forgot to say bysyd the melody is so centred around the root note its really boring in that sense it keeps going back to the root over snd over again

[cerulean beacon]

69 votes for bysyd
