that's really stupid, most of their fans already have all of those songs anyway. i didn't think the "this fire" single was going to have new b-sides though, i thought it was going to be the same as one of their uk singles.

I hate it when bands re-release CDs...especially since I barely have enough money to get one copy of a CD much less two.

But I'm still excited for some new FF stuff, their CD is pretty good.

[piebaldkid42]

with the amount of times they played that fricken song i would have thought the album would have gone platinum

[JoshCool7717]

Piss. On I just bought the CD what, a week ago? Great timing.

Most overated band ever. Break up.

[Mankfish]

this band officially sucks

[SomePerson22]

Sorry guys but they'll be around a long time. They've worked for years to get where they are, they're not going to give it up once they've gotten it. They're really smart guys and they know what they're doing with their music.

Not updated that for about 6 months :lipsrseal
Anyway Yellowcard make better music that Franz Ferdinand. Certainly more listenable and they mean a lot to me, mainly because of memories, and you cant take them away from anyone. Franz Ferdinand make me feel ill.

It's an opinion not a fact that Yellowcard make better music than Franz Ferdinand. FF are much more listenable to me because I prefer the deeper vocals to the whinier ones Ryan Keyes brings to YC's music.

I really have nothing against Yellowcard or Senses Fail, and I admit I used to be a fan of both. I just know that Franz Ferdinand have considerably more talent than both of those bands combined, but unless you really knew anything about them I suppose you might not think that.

I know not everyone likes the same stuff, but it bothers me a lot when people respond to a thread just to say that they think the band sucks.
