Nosferatu Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 WYHSB is fucking art. Easily the better album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People who won't vote and are over thinking it saying they're not comparable etc...Jesus Christ - just vote for what one you enjoy listening to the most rather than writing a fucking essay on why you're not going to vote. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Clearly you don't read the posts then, because at least I explained, how I don't enjoy listening to one the "most," they both fulfill me in very different ways and so depending on where I'm at will determine which album I prefer at that time. Also i love how my post about it was three sentences long and that qualifies as an essay; wish I went to your school, I'd have gotten A+ for every essay for going above and beyond.

Exactly. I adore WYHSB, but its so damn depressing I just honestly don't find myself listening to it all that much. And that makes for an odd comparison. Not that hard of a concept to grasp.

bennett Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 even though im very happy with california, whysb is by far the superior album for me. from the deeper lyrical content to the more mature style of songs, i adore that record. i've always said it's got mark's best writing on it, and i don't think he'll ever top it either 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghent Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 California is much than WYHSB imo. But yeah, they're not really comparable albums anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedo Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 I'm gonna go with California. I may not be the biggest fan of that album but it's still miles better than Plus 44, what an awful band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuppyKillingMachine Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 I don't see any comparison, overall. California sounds better in a certain sense - more professional. But the songwriting and material on the +44 record is, like, magic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 I think I said it once. WYHSB is a very special record for me. That period in time (october-december 2006) was a very special one too. Is that kind of record that happens in a very concrete and unforgettable moment on your life. The record had an influence on my daily living, and my daily living had an impact in the way I got into the record. Looking it now, ten years later, is absolutely fascinating. I have nothing but love for that album. And the way it hit me, only happened with a few records more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

California sounds like 10 years later in recording technology compared with WYHSB, hahaha. That, and overproduced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyFriendLuke182 Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 WYHSB is one of my favourite albums of all time. So there is really no competition. The only blink album that I consider better is the untitled one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nextmarkhoppus44 Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 WYHSB was so somber and the lyrics were great. Many many quotable lines. Always takes me back during my high school emo days. California is what I've been listening to the most lately since leaked. Gives me a sense of getting over something type of feel. It'll always take me back to when everything great was going in my life, like getting accepted for my masters program and new job. I nulled because I'm a blinkbot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great point on the "getting over something" feel with California. Hadn't thought of it that way and it's true. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theedge00 Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 I just wish WYHSB had better cover art. It looks so cheap, like someone did it in 10 minutes with Illustrator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuppyKillingMachine Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 I think it's easy to forget how much of a huge leap WYHSB was lyrically for Mark. I mean it's night and day. His songs went from primarily one-dimensional to three-dimensional in a huge way. And the lyrics taken line by line are just witty, sharp, edgy, poignant, and cutting as fuck. What a knockout time for him poetically. They feel like they're written by a dude who's had way too much caffeine at 6 AM and is somehow tapping into the most beautiful, hilarious, and sad truths of life. He was on a serious fucking roll at that time period. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuppyKillingMachine Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 Even the simplest lyrics... "don't make me sleep alone." How the hell does one sing/write that without coming across as creepy? It's amazing what he pulled off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Kyle_ Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 I like to think he was channeling his inner Robert Smith on some of those. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
