I wanna preface this by saying I’m a newer and younger fan. I see a lot of turmoil here and on tiktok between Brendon lovers and Ryan lovers. I don’t get it. They both seem like good people and they don’t seem to have any hate for each other (Although I don’t think they talk after that jerkoff psycho pretended to be Brendon). In the music itself, sure AFYCSO and Pretty. Odd. are by far my favorite P!ATD albums, but we can’t give all the credit to Ryan. The reasons those albums are so great is that it was a combination of Ryan’s writing and Brendon’s voice. It wasn’t one or the other. I personally don’t love the Young Veins nor do I love anything post-Ryan (My friend showed me DOAB and I don’t hate it. Some good tracks). On here and tiktok I see so much about both sides. But why can’t you love both? My tiktok pfp has both of them preforming together during the AFYCSO tour. I don’t get it

My friend has been constantly shit on by me for what I think are horrible takes. So we decided to ask the blink community on if his takes are bad or not:

California is better then TOYPAJ
Stockholm Syndrome Interlude is better then Asthenia
Cheshire Cat is better then Dude Ranch
ONE MORE TIME is their best album
The Live version of Adam's Song from MTATS is better than the studio EOTS version
Ghost On The Dancefloor, Carousel, ANTHEM PART 3, Feeling This, Anthem Part Two, and Cynical are better songs and openers then Dumpweed
Cat Like Theif is the worst on BCR
California is better than BCR
On Some Emo Shit is peak
California is a no skip album

For reference, my hottest take is probably that Neighborhoods is my second favorite album of theirs.
