downstairs is peak

[chrome tendon]

Downstairs is my fave on the album besides Drag Path

[pine wagon]

one way is peak 2

[warped tundra]

I feel better in the CELLER DOWN THERE

[indigo mirage]

drag path isnt on the album what who said that

[dreamy burrow]

Same

[pine wagon]

its just more peak

[chrome tendon]

Am I salty I didn’t hear Downstairs live? Yes next question

[barren yoke]

im not voting and by that i mean i love downstairs with my whole heart but tally fs

[sinful juniper]

one WIN

[lime ruin]

i did not vote for the city walls and drag path onee

[thick palm]

i actually dont know

[dreamy burrow]

Did la night 2 get downstairs live too or just night 1

[barren yoke]

drag path all the way

[lime ruin]

drag path lossed 😭

[dreamy burrow]

I'm still salty about drag path not winning vs city walls

[tropic canopy]

this one is just mean </3

[barren yoke]

i know

[lime ruin]

i wanted to listen to it

[thick palm]

city walls is better than drag path as a song

[lucid sage]

Downstairs

[thick palm]

drag path is just emotional

[lime ruin]

but missed the chance to

[barren yoke]

drag path has more meaning to me but yeah city walls is just great as a song

[chrome tendon]

I’m convinced it’s because they didn’t release DP widely for whatever reason so lots of people still haven’t heard it

[karmic mesa]

I WANTED TO FLYYYY

[tawdry venture]

WHO ELSE FEEL BETTER IN THE CELLAR

[dreamy burrow]

Yeah probably but still makes me upset 😞

[cyan scroll]

city walls is kinda devastating as a song ngl

but also the line "in a city with no entrance there is not a retreat" goes SO hard

[tawdry venture]

FRRRRRR

[dreamy burrow]

Yeah u right

If drag path had to lose ig city walls was a good one to lose too

To

[cyan scroll]

that second part of the second verse kinda turned into a nico diss track

[tawdry venture]

Lol yeah

[bold shuttle]

I am quite partial to One Way, it’s my ringtone right now… but downstairs 🔥🔥

[toxic scarab]

this nasty setup akdhskdbs

[spring temple]

[ancient parcel]

[tawdry parrot]

[cedar vector]

one way is such a banger and i do love her but its gotta be downstairs

[void grove]

[vale haven]

Downstairs.

[craggy hinge]

[cyan fog]

[latent rock]

[manic monolith]

Downstairs sweep

[sage wave]

listening to downstairs right now!!!! how insane? but one way sweep icl 💔

I WANTED TO FLYYY

ALSO

JOSH AT THE END

GUYS

FADE INTO DLD

ARE WE REALLY VOTING DOWNSTAIRS OVER ONE WAY JUST BECAUSE IT WAS FOUND AS A SNIPPEF FROM RAB

(which is still awesome)

[silk canopy]

I just don’t listen to one way enough 😭

[strange marten]

I FEEL BETTER IN THE CELLAR

[sage wave]

😞

guys what about josh

and the epic fade into days lie dormant

[void grove]

no its just better

[analog raptor]

One Way perfectly represents depression in my perception. The lyrics really hit hard to me every time.

Just kinda represents that stagnation in life when you don't feel you fit in. Quite straight forward but impactful.

[winged wadi]

downstairs for me, I love one way but downstairs more

[meager storm]

Downstairs is definitely better

[half radish]

One way is just Tyler's internal dialogue as he has a mental breakdown at the airport

[sand helm]

The way yall killed Raefear,Drag Path, AND Cottenwood is crazy.....but
Downstairs FTW!!!!!

[shy prism]

what do i even say here

[upper salmon]

Downstairs (and DLD) are the only mid songs on Breach. One way way better

[umbral halo]

DOOOOWNSTAAAIRS

I'm just biased to Tyler screaming

[tame swallow]

easy pick downstairs

[indigo lotus]

Sorry, Downstairs, but I WANTED TO FLYYYYYYYYY

[grizzled citrus]

I FEEL BETTER IN THE CELLAR DOOOOOWN THERE

[pure osprey]

BUT THEY SAY A SYSTEM'S COMING IN

[indigo lotus]

THE CHANCES ARE HIIIIIGH

[frozen timber]

This is cruel I hate yall

[pure osprey]

THAT THIS IS A, ONE WAY ONE WAY ONE WAY

[pure osprey]

dude one way is fire

[indigo lotus]

Perfection

[pure osprey]

downstairs is still good but One Way is amazing

[tulip geyser]

Downstairs

[lucid tree]

After that live performance of course downstairs

[indigo lotus]

Exactly!!

[gusty sierra]

I was at La night one for downstairs

[pure osprey]

The Live Performance was crazy

[lucid tree]

Yup

[gusty sierra]

I think I died that night

[lucid tree]

I liked the song more after that

[pure osprey]

fair it is so hard to choose sometimes

[gusty sierra]

He went so hard just like screaming I FEEL BETTER IN THE CELLAR

[lucid tree]

Friendly envy haha

[pure osprey]

same here

[gusty sierra]

like other than heavydirtysoul downstairs SHOOK the stadium

[lucid tree]

Bro I can't imagine the feeling being there

Just take my life atp

[willow shard]

downstairs sweep

[wise forum]

Hey guys if downstairs doesn’t win I will die

[indigo lotus]

Downstairs will probably win, anyway

[lucid tree]

Yup

[indigo lotus]

Yes, yes

[pure osprey]

yup

My reason for One Way suppiriority is because Josh

the transition into Days Lie Dormant is why I like it more

I'm a sucker for song transitions

[indigo lotus]

I see, I see

[proven hound]

Theres only one way this will go

[sharp river]

poop vs golden poop

downstairs for the win

[versed blade]

Downstairs 🙏

[queen forge]

im so sorry downstairs... but one way is the only way...

[misty gull]

one way is the best from breach imo

[undone grotto]

LEVEL UP: You are now level 2!

[midnight pagoda]

sorry one way, i gotta go with downstairs

[fading lagoon]

there’s only one way to solve this… and it’s by going downstairs

[tepid urchin]

oh I'm going against the grain at this point

so far from the 2 recent voting I voted the songs that ended up losing :(

and this is no different!!!

no wait this is different

cuz I love Downstairs

[lofty roost]

Sure I like one way but this is the first easy one I’ve seen

[lofty roost]

And that’s downstairs

[hybrid rover]

DOWNSTAIRS!!!! I FEEL BETTER IN THE CELLAR!!!!DOWN THERE!!!!! GET SOME SHELTER FROM THE WEATHER!!!!!!

[short hemlock]

wait but how does one justify one way over downstairs

[cedar mantle]

Honestly if youre counting one way and days lay dormant as one I can see it but yeah by itself downstairs clears

Love one way, but irs at least a tier below downstairs

[polar isle]

I guess if youre just not really one for liking heavy songs and like the vibe of one way

[short hemlock]

that's what cut my lip is for

[warm acorn]

most forgettable song

[urban light]

i like one way

too short tho

[indigo lotus]

Agreed!

[cedar mantle]

Or Lavish. Lavish is a good bop

[short hemlock]

one way better

[cedar mantle]

To each their own

[urban light]

debatable

[short hemlock]

cause at least one way MEANS something

[urban light]

i think i like them about the same

[cedar mantle]

First time I heard the proctolgist line it broke me

[urban light]

i see you have the AJR tag

i like AJR

[short hemlock]

me too

[indigo lotus]

It's so emotional 🤧

[urban light]

W

[cedar mantle]

Lavish means something. Its a critique of the music industry like lane boy

[austere gazelle]

One Way is really amazing, one of my favourites (they're all my fav tbh), but Downstairs... Downstairs is something else, it has my vote

[short hemlock]

one way will forever just be an 8/10 tho

[urban light]

i like both, i think one way is just slightly better tho

[short hemlock]

8.5/10 on a good day with the days lie dormant transition

[tame swallow]

one way is like

ok

downstairs clears

[rough sail]

sweepstairs

[cedar mantle]

I'll put it this way, I would have been much happier to hear downstairs live than one way

[wise forum]

Same

But I didn’t hear either

The set list for the show I went to wasn’t the best

[scenic copper]

ONE WAY PLEASE

[warm acorn]

nuh uh

[gloomy vine]

not even fucking close bruh its one way

[halcyon crag]

These are literally my 2 favourite songs on the album 😭😭

[rotund heath]

picking anathema over heavydirtysoul is a bold choice but okay

[cobalt crystal]

OH FUCK THIS

[indigo lotus]

Another One Wayer and you have Polarize lyrics in your bio. I like your taste

[nocturne yarrow]

AM I DREAMING????

[worthy path]

https://spotify.link/xgFWJMJAOXb

[uneven dagger]

Love one way

Been listening to it every day since it came out

[lofty roost]

Someone please justify voting for One Way instead of Downstairs

[shrewd rivet]

??

[latent rock]

one way is a bottom 3 song on the album tbh

[nocturne yarrow]

Personal preferences

[coarse breach]

i just listened to one way like ok this one for sure but now im listneing to downstairs and I DON'T KNOW I AHVE TO LISTEN TO THEM AGAIN

[tender kestrel]

I will get murdered for this but i genuinley dislike downstairs due to it's repetitiveness and also the instrumentals i dont really like

[hybrid rover]

I WEAR ALL OF MY HEART ON MY SLEEVE

[coarse breach]

ok one way is more fun to sing along to in my opinion but downstairs is more heartfelt i think so it depends how im feelin right now i guess

ok the ending of one way pushes me over the edge for it because i LOVE the transitiion between one way and days lie dormant it's legendary

[frosty sleet]

One way fr

[polar isle]

One way's main drawback is that it's too short
Downstairs' main drawback is that it's too long

[south citrus]

one way

[south citrus]

so you’re saying you want more of one way and less of downstairs

if u haven’t voted yet vote one way

[polar isle]

i voted downstairs because its just so powerful

[polar isle]

Here im not saying that one way is better than downstairs, im saying that they have equal drawbacks essentially lol

One way and downstairs are basically equally amazing songs i love both of them its just that downstairs is so immersive and powerful and heavy whereas one way is honestly really vibey and bouncy - in rankings like these i usually go with songs like the former

[gloomy vine]

heavydirtysoul clears anathema

[pure osprey]

easily ^

[digital crane]

Downstairs bc downstairs live changed my life

If you asked me before the show tho I’d say one way

[radiant holly]

I feel better voting for downstairs

[dusk gale]

anyone voting one way will be viciously mer||maids||

[radiant holly]

I was so confused why did you say downstairs lol

[dusk gale]

downstairs is just right for me

[dusk gale]

someone probably likes one way loads more than downstairs but for me its my favorite song, probably ever bc of the christian references and it basically being a prayer in itself

[blazing plume]

I LOVE one way

But nothing beats downstairs for me

[plush zenith]

I love one way, but I know it's gunna get sweeped by downstairs 💔

[hybrid rover]

I love one way but downstairs wins for me. I just relate more with it

[clear oxide]

i love both, but they are very different vibes from each other, so it depends on the mood of the moment

one way is more of that vibe of singing in the car on the road at sunset, downstairs is a vibe of singing at the top of your lungs, more cathartic I would say

[polar isle]

This

[rotund heath]

picking cancer over coconut sharks in the water is bold but i see where youre coming from

[unkempt bobcat]

Man these votes are so hard I love this album (except intentions) think I'll go with downstairs but one way is a lot of fun aahhhh

[rotund heath]

wow i also love rab trees

oh how many things we have in common

[unkempt bobcat]

Hm?

[quasi marlin]

I think downstairs has some amazing lyrics, the bridge hits insanely hard, but as much as I love it and I listen to it, one way speaks to me on a more personal level as a struggle with depression and losing interest in the things I love, this is a damn hard choice, I had to switch which I voted for 😭

[gloomy tinsel]

i feel better in the cellar down there

[indigo lotus]

Because it's great!!!!

[indigo lotus]

One Way won in our hearts 💙

[ancient rain]

one wayyyyy

[indigo lotus]

One Wayyyyy RAH

[gloomy vine]

ty

💙

[valid pagoda]

i voted one way because i want it to have a fighting chance

also because i prefer it over downstairs

[cobalt crystal]

One Way and Downstairs are both top 5 for me

[lucid sage]

How can you compare vibes.. to pure, raw emotion..

[ornate grove]

1. contract
2. tally
3. downstairs
4. anything else on breach

[polar isle]

Whichever song wins ill be happy

[barren yoke]

This but also can downstairs win pls

[barren yoke]

Also this but remove the contract and add drum show after downstairs then we're good

[ornate grove]

i am NOT removing the contract but drum show is respectable

[indigo lotus]

Most of my favorites have won the previous song battles so I feel like I can't complain if One Way loses 😅

[blazing surge]

damn thiws ones hard

[lucid sage]

LOL I agree.. no offense, but The Contract is just taxing on the ears. Compared to the other songs on the album? It's definitely like (hot take) the least interesting

✋ Still listen to it every other day 🤚

[cyan scroll]

Taxing?

Can you expand on this

[lofty roost]

To be totally fair, I love One Way. The bassline is great. I’m a bassist and I love playing it. The lyrics are cool. It’s such a vibe, just grooving for a few minutes straight.

It’s just doesn’t hold a candle to Downstairs 😂

But that’s fine lol

I will actually be interested to see how the voting ratios turn out

[indigo lotus]

Alrighty lol. I get it 😅

[lofty roost]

Also all /lh btw 😂 Downstairs is my favorite song… in a long time, so ya know 😅

[indigo lotus]

Yeah, that's fine. Downstairs is great too 😂

The "Oh-woah-woah mercyyy" part is so 🔥

[lofty roost]

Yes, that scream is incredible!

and it hits like a truck after the quiet bridge type part

[indigo lotus]

Yes, it's really refreshing. Like drinking some cold water on a warm day

[lofty roost]

I was thinking more like jumping in a cold spring head first on a warm day but ig that works

Oh wait maybe you mean the quiet part 😂🫣

[indigo lotus]

I like the way think 😌

[delicate owl]

downstairs my one true love

[indigo lotus]

I saw your name and bio and noticed you like Clear. Best RAB song. Great opinion 👍👍

[delicate owl]

AHHH yess ty i love clear with my whole heart and soul

[indigo lotus]

Me too!!! RAH

[obsidian scaffold]

if downstairs doesnt win the whole thing im going to cry at every single one of you btw

[honest wing]

I WANTED TO FLYYY🎶

[wanton mason]

BUT THEY SAY A SYSTEM COMING INNN

[lime cloak]

DOWNSTAIRS, I FEEL BETTER IN THE CELLAR DOWN THERE

[steel token]

Am I the only who prefers One Way

[honest wing]

THE CHANCES ARE HIGHHH🔊

[pure osprey]

moment of truth pretty soon

I already know what song is winning tho

[delicate bolt]

noo im here

[pure osprey]

me too 🙂

[gleaming pawn]

downstairs win in 5

[delicate bolt]

WOW

[misty gull]

justice for one way

[delicate bolt]

yall did one way dirtyy

[lucid sage]

Crazy

[sand bridge]

aint no way

[thin rivet]

Wtf

[wicked patio]

NOOO one way deserved more votes

[ionic hearth]

downstairs is so ass compared to one way

[wide lake]

What in the hell 😭

One way sweep I thought this is crazy

[gleaming pawn]

i’m putting you downstairs

[chilly peak]

wtf

have you listened to one way?

I'd think it's because of the live version

[round pivot]

One Way is still my least favorite on Breach. It's still enjoyable.

Cottonwood has mine, and of course, it's the least loved here, it seems.

[valid pagoda]

ONE OWAYO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPBEWUJOERTWJBERJNRJLDSTSXIYBMJKSAHDMNKUBVWEHMNUKYLBNHEWLJYTLKWEJMLKSMKJLDEBJYN46WELIOKUBJHNMYTW

uhh i mean

dang one way lost.. that's rough 😔

[tawdry venture]

One way is good

Downstairs is better

Lesson: tøp has 0 bad songs

[near aspen]

okay i wanted downstairs to win but i didnt want it to be by so much 😭

[pale cargo]

I think what truly makes Breach hard is that the whole album is all really good

It's hard to pick songs over each other. At the end of the day, the album is one of the best releases of the year.

[round pivot]

No, yeah, it's definitely one of the best releases this year.

[indigo lotus]

I'm here 🙌

[tender kestrel]

noooooooooo

[ancient rain]

that was a much larger sweep than I was expecting

[cedar mantle]

On god. Breach is truly a no skip album.

I had bought digital remains so I do regularly listen to the whole album in order from the beginning.

[clever aurora]

Downstairs beating One Way come on guys

[indigo lotus]

Don't feel bad. It won in our hearts. Plus, Downstairs is amazing too 🙂
