This Taking Back Sunday song is much better than their other one we voted on earlier. There are a few things in the construction of the song that I like, like the guitar parts throughout the verses and the interlocking vocal lines. Also the transition into odd time for the "anyone will do tonight" part feels like a nice little jolt of energy. That lead vocalist is really bad, though.
I am very tempted to vote for "Sk8r Boi", a gleefully dumb song that I hated as a kid but can sort of appreciate for its catchy, unpretentious vapidness now

"Sk8er Boi" is preachier than I remembered. But these emo bands like Taking Back Sunday operate at such a low level of songcraft that Avril wins on that premise alone -- I probably hadn't heard "Sk8er Boi" in fifteen years, turned it off most of the times it came on when it was new, but I could have hummed you that verse and that chorus at any point in there.

Need to think about this
I kinda remember liking that Taking Back Sunday one too.
I was also ready to accept that Sk8er Boi might not have been as bad as i remember, but holy crap is that shit ever cringey. Couldn't make it past the second verse.
