This was the hardest choice for me by far. I had to go with Set Your Goals since SWIR let me down.

Meh... I don't get the support for ATL. I feel like they only have 6 or 7 good songs out of their catalog.

Put Up Or Shut Up was slightly better than Mutiny for me, but Mutiny kicks So Wrong It's Right's ass. I'm torn.

Eh had to go ATL. Haven't listened to SYG much, odd seeing as I'm seeing them with NFG and Bayside...I have catching up to do.

xJesusFreakx
03/29/09, 08:46 PM
Wow, after I cast my vote for SYG, it was SYG: 29, ATL: 30. Ridiculously close. Well, if all those xBROxCOREx kids didn't disappear after voting for FYS, though, I think SYG will win pretty easily. ;-)

All Time Low has always seemed rather uninteresting to me. Set Your Goals, on the other hand, are really catchy and have a lot of energy. I guess I could see people saying the same for ATL, but the blend of pop punk and hardcore, in spite of being pretty trendy any more, is more fun.

As much as I like SYG, I honestly can't get past the less-than-mediocre singing ability of their second vocalist. So, All Time Low, mainly because I loved PUOSU, plus I have lot of good memories associated with them (best show I ever went to; seeing them with Hit The Lights and Valencia back in March '07 at Ray's Downtown).

All Time Low is always good. They are one of the best pop punk bands right now, regardless of what people say. They stay true to the term "pop punk" and are also very entertaining.

holy shit this is a tight one...88 - 86 ATL winning. they're my favorite band for almost 2 years now, so i had to vote for them. plus, weightless is an amazing song that i still haven't gotten sick of after listening to it 137 times since it was released

Spenny

They are just a lot of fun to listen to. And Weightless is amazing, so I have high hopes for the new record.

Agreed. ATL just has no redeeming factors imo, and (I've said this in countless other threads, but I don't care) I don't understand how they get so much support and respect they get whilst bands like The Maine, FTSK, and Boys Like Girls get bashed... because ATL does absolutely nothing different from any of these bands.

Today at a local show, All Time Low somehow came up in a conversation between my friends/band and this group of girls, and I said that I disliked them... and the only thing one of the girls who was a "huge fan" of them could say was "b...b...but Alex Gaskarth is such a hottie".

Set Your Goals I honestly haven't heard much by, but their Jawbreaker cover of "Do You Still Hate Me"? was amazing and I played it TONS of times.

Ryzenfall
03/29/09, 10:05 PM

Yeah I like a band that 14 year old girls also like. Yeah I have even fkng listened to FYS.

03/29/09, 11:42 PM
I'm oing to go with All Time Low.

I think their music has just always felt catchier and just overall better sounding than Mutiny. The Party Scene and PUOSU at least, in my opinion, are much better and more solid albums. Ignoring what is trendy, I still feel All Time Low have the advantage. So what some people are going to like ATL because of what they look like or the trend? That's not why they started, and that's not why the real fans follow them or they make music.

Not to mention ATL was one of the first bands that really got me into this type of music.

All Time Low for the win.

Even though its close right now most likely ATL will win. They have the type of fans that would join just to vote in a poll. Much like FYS

How is Set Your Goals losing! I listened to ATL when they 1st came out with stuff OK not to shabby. But SYG dominates this!! As soon as ATL came out with new stuff i lost interest just becuase you saw where they were going with there music. Catchy 16 year old pop punk. Damn. I can listen to SYG everyday of my life and still rock out with it. ATL is just MEH at this point. Try to catch attention of your fans from the beginning. Not your 16 year old fans.

Carry On.

I remember AP.net got some Fall Out Boy exclusive one time and the site was overloaded with FOB fans, so that probably explains the All Time Low votes because I guess some of them stuck around.

these results are pretty sad

I remember AP.net got some Fall Out Boy exclusive one time and the site was overloaded with FOB fans, so that probably explains the All Time Low votes because I guess some of them stuck around.
Fall Out Boy can kiss my ass. But I love ATL.

People voting for ATL need to go watch and listen to SYG's latest studio update. That shit will rock your face off. Plus, Mutiny kicks the snot out of anything ATL has every done.

Also noteworthy: SYG's song "Reset" is an instrumentation of pure pop-punk bliss.
ATL= watered-down pop-punk garbage.

ATL are watered down poppier versions of pop punk 7 years ago and do not know how to write a catchy hook and are really mediocre

There's so many throwaway acts in there, too.. FYS, Cartel, HTL, A&A, GCH, PATD, Cobra, ATL.. and a handful of other bands that aren't too great.

-ACA

Sorry... I agree with all the others, but calling PATD a throwaway act is just totally unfair. Their first album added a new flair to pop-punk that really hadn't been heard or done before as far as mainstream pop-punk goes, and with their second album they took a complete 180 and released a lively, colorful, melodic 60's influenced pop-rock record... which yes, alienated about 1/2 of their fanbase, but to me and some others, Pretty.Odd. is without a doubt the superior record.

The fact alone that they turned their backs on a trend that they arguably had a hand in starting (dancey, techno-ish emo/pop punk) proves that they are not a throwaway act, imo.

All Time Low is horrid, shallow, image pop, I kind of feel this was based off of which band has more scenester promotion really. Because Set Your Goals is a great, great, band and have the potential to be the next NFG. Regardless if they lose, ATL won't make it another round.

FourStarters
03/30/09, 01:09 PM
I voted Set Your Goals.

I like All Time Low, but I feel like their acoustic stuff far surpasses their album stuff. Alex has a hell of a voice and those dudes write monster hooks, but a lot of their talent gets lost in things that sound overproduced to me on record. I could listen to their acoustic stuff over and over again, but after a few spins, "So Wrong, It's Right" blends together as one giant song with the exception being "Remembering Sunday". Even on the new song "Weightless", the chorus is HUGE, but I can't get past the fake drums at the beginning - you've got talented guys in the band, yet the first thing you showcase is a drum machine.

I won't take anything away from All Time Low, they're a great band, but personal bias aside for Set Your Goals, they wrote a great, fun record in "Mutiny" that hasn't gotten old yet. If I put the two full lengths up against each other ("So Wrong..." and "Mutiny"), the SYG record sounds like a complete album and the ATL record sounds like a radio single done three ways and finished with filler.

If ATL takes this, I'll back them - it should be close, but we shouldn't take points off from SYG based on lack of material.
