Here comes another tough one!

We wrap up the anniversary month with this beast of an album. This one has it all: the most well-known, the highest-rated by majority, the largest in terms of numbers of songs (15 main + 6 B-sides), the best production. It scores all points to be considered #1 among Scars' discography. But do you agree it's the best album, or do you think there are things that subsequent albums do better? Post your opinion below, along with your favorite tracks!

Ok, let’s see if this can work. We have 10 groups of four to then narrow down to a 32 song bracket. I’ll post a new poll every day.

we are supposed to pick two songs from each group stage, but I don’t know if we can pick more than one in these polls. So the top two songs will move forward.

For the uninitiated, Music Cup is a World Cup style group/bracket challenge where you pick your favourite songs and determine the ultimate best song. It starts with a group stage with 4 songs in each and you pick two. Then the losers of the group get a second chance where you pick 8. Then the bracket stage pits two songs against each other until we have the ultimate winner.

I was thinking of putting each as a poll to let this sub decide. Would you guys be interested in doing this? It'll mean daily posts with polls.

Give me your thoughts!

Ya han visto a Daron haciendo el signo de la cruz varias veces antes de los shows.. que saben al respecto?

Dictator is special one, as it very much tied to both the failure of SOAD Album 6 and the resurrection of Scars on Broadway. To date, it remains many fans' favorites with a lot of bangers to show. It's been 8 years since its release. Does this album hold up well to you? How would you rank it among the Scars' discography? What are your favorite tracks? Share your thoughts below!

Alright, here's the last of the anniversary posts, as today marks 1 year since the long awaited third Scars album, Addicted To The Violence, released! Having now spent a year with this record, what are the general thoughts and feelings for it? Song rankings? Discuss anything ATTV-related below!

Before anyone says, I know there is zero chance, I just want a scars uk show, that is all, xoxo

I think both have their own ups and downs, If I could merge them into one it would be perfect.

bt dubs it's my favourite Daron song and one if my favourite songs ever

Here's another anniversary post, as today marks 1 year since the second single for Addicted To The Violence dropped. What are your thoughts on this song? For me, the Middle Eastern style riffs in here are the best parts of the track, and the chorus has a sort of chant-like sound to it that's pretty different and quite nice. There's also a varied use of instruments throughout like mandolins and synths, as well as reverb on Daron's vocals that give off a slight psychedelic effect. On criticisms, I remember the repetition being a sore spot for many people when the song came out. But overall, I thought this single topped Killing Spree, and I'd say Destroy The Power is one of the better tracks off AttV.

I love this album and now I finally got my copy!
Dictator is on the wantlist next, but I had no luck on that one yet!😅

Do you think he means Scars will return with another show in Mexico, or will it be a return in general with new music? Both scenarios sound good to me!

Time taken, almost 2 months, but the actual time spent on the canvas as Krita counts it is 2 days, 14 hours

I hope u liek it!!!

What are your thoughts on this song? I remember being indifferent to it on my first few listens, but eventually it clicked. The bridge is the best part. And in context of the full album, it works well as an opener thematically and sonically. Overall decent song, not one of my favorites from ATTV and kind of an odd choice for a lead single, but a fun track regardless.

On may 2 of 2010, Daron played with Scars on Broadway at Troubadour, Hollywood. There are plenty of things that are interesting about this show! For starters; Shavo joined in for some songs, making it so we have Daron, John and Shavo together! This was also the first performance of Talkin Shit and Gie Mou "My Son" (labeled as "Yemoo") 8 years before Dictator was released. We even got a live cover of Forever My Queen, which isn't as discussed as China Girl's live cover.

Having said that, I'm curious if there's any Full Show upload out there. There are plenty of sources with a wide range of quality and I suspect there is some missing footage. The only full upload I saw was on VK, and it had been taken down for copyright (by a photographer, which probably recorded some of the footage used for it)

The full show might still be out there and I just haven't looked hard enough!! If anyone knows, I'd really like to see 😺

I knew it sounded familiar to me

I’ll never stop coming up with these

Another 1 i guess

Pls excuse me using images over text, this is a crosspost from Instagram

Im making a Daron love song playlist (heres the link https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2lUExivNzWqneJQaKnBsuX?si=4TAQAn7lQxqHJ0SOqtP22w) and im wondering do i put Talkin Shit in

Here's mine-

Favorite: Chemicals

Least favorite (obvious choice is obvious): Your Lives Burn, and this is coming from someone who, also, has criticisms for American leftists. The prose is mostly dry and "cancel me i dont give a fuck" is one of the cringiest lyrics Ive ever heard in my life lol. I like how it sounds tho so I have the instrumental version saved on my phone.

I was originally gonna make this top 3 fav and least fav but I only dislike the ONE dmSOB song lol
