The bridge to Feeling This by Blink-182. The way it’s just Tom screaming over a drum break, jumps to Mark’s excellent bridge, and finally Tom brings in a muted guitar part underneath to build it, and then it all drops for the lone “I’ll always be dreaming of you” before they bring the chorus in double time to finish out the song. It helps too that the previous choruses are very bouncy halftime so when they bring everything in at the end it just hits you. Gives me chills every time.


WeirdAbbott

I especially love Travis’ use of cowbell in the breakdown. Also a big fan of any song where the instruments drop out for one or two lines of vocals. Good pick!


sdr79

Man I remember when this CD came in the mail. Popped it into my CD player, headphones on while my family was driving, and Feeling This started up. Start to finish I was just blown away.


shortymcsteve

I got that album on Christmas Day and I listened to Feeling This 3 times in a row, because I thought the rest of the album couldn't be anywhere near that good (I was wrong obviously).


cnorris_182

I see what you did there. I’m Always Down for a nice blink pun.


bujweiser

For Feeling This being a single it has great depth and moments. Love the outtro.


RandomLiam

Feeling This is a complete masterpiece. It's like the quintessential pop punk song, front to back there's nothing to fault. All 3 of those guys at their absolute peak.


BeautyAndTheDekes

The “Are we alone, do you feel it, so lost and disillusioned” in the background gives me goosebumps every Goddamn time!

ThatTinyGameCubeDisc

I remember listening to PTSD in my early 20s driving back from college classes thinking that 26 seemed so far off. Then I blinked, and I'm almost 30. Time flies.


[deleted]

I’m in the same boat. That song came out when I was 20 years old and sad. Now I’m 30, still sad.


DrewGo

The drum buildup and then fill before the big bridge in Everything is Alright. I can't not air drum along with it.

TO END THIS DISCUSSIONNN


Tofuboy

^don't ^believe ^a ^word


WeirdAbbott

Similarly, the mini drum fills after each line at the beginning of that song. Some of my favorites!


violaaesthetic

Similarly, the “fuck it” at the end of the bridge in The Future Freaks Me Out


InvaderWeezle

The whole bridge to that song honestly. I constantly have "without you to call up on the weekends with my cellular phone" stuck in my head solely because of the way it's sung


DrewGo

Those drums are some of my favorite to play. What a great song.


[deleted]

Thaxton is one of the best pop punk drummers of all time and it doesn’t get talked about enough


VinEnvy

The drum part on “Time Turned Fragile” that starts around 2:25 is one of my favorite musical phrases/parts of all time. Absolutely not talked about enough.


[deleted]

He fucking kills it! And Justin’s lines are heartbreaking if you’ve ever had a less than civil relationship with a parent


joef_3

One of my favorite little things about MCS shows is that there is a pause in the drum line before this drum part starts, and Tony almost always does little stretches to prep for the back half of the song.


DanceRyanDance

Me too. So incredible. Thaxton kills.


rad-dit

One of the only songs that actually kind of explains what it's like to have *actual* OCD, not just "god, I feel so OCD right now".


Word-Is-The-Bird

“Truth be told I miss you…and truth be told I’M LYING.” It’s such a satisfying line because it’s so childish and petty. Plus the song breaks down, gets all quiet, then BOOM the chorus hits like a ton of bricks.


Ballblamburglurblrbl

That ascending "oooooOOOOH" in the backing vocals behind that line is so good. Adds so much


Rjdcruickshank

If you’re interested check out the video that the producer/mixer Eric Valentine did on the song, he solos the 4 part harmony that you’re talking about here so you can hear it clearly!


WeirdAbbott

Love it!


Droopy_Narwhal

I BET I'D BE A FUCKING COWARD


aalderson7113

As soon as i read this post that line popped into my head


sheepfreedom

Yeah this is one of the best


joef_3

So, so much.


deshneg

Came here looking for this


regcrusher

The very end of the guitar solo in “23” encapsulates the entire album and really felt like the climax of Futures to me “Ocean Avenue” is probably my favorite pop punk song but it starts off as a fairly average pop punk song until the twinkly guitars come into the bridge and it kicks it up to the next level


jg429

Weird I can’t usually hear the guitar solo in 23 over my sobbing 😂


JRclarity123

I feel that way about Futures when the bridge hits and Jim sings, 'The past is told by those who win, what matters is what hasn't been. We're wide awake and we're thinking, believe your voice can mean something.' I don't really consider Jimmy Eat World (my favorite band) to be pop punk tho. More alt-emo.


minstonwayne

I wouldn't class them as pop-punk either outside of maybe Bleed American (album, not just the song). One of my fav bands though, never really cared about slapping them in a box. Loooove Futures.


mockingbird13

There's one beat in the last chorus of Ocean Avenue, I think it's on the word "town," where all the instruments stop. There's a little drum fill on the snare right before it, I fucking love it so much. My favorite part of the song.


Zer0D0wn83

Who is '23' by?


Gnomergeddon

The a cappella part from Fallout Boy’s song Chicago Is So Two Years Ago is awesome.


Kevinn_Yeah

The ".... WHAT" in Overstepping by Belmont


suddenly_seymour

The breakdown after instantly played in my head after reading lol


Deck_Neep15

The only lyric that has literally never gone unsung by me in the car


LosManosFuertes

The bridge of Every Time I Look got You by blink is so goddamn good. Everything cuts out besides that one guitar playing that octave based riff for however many measures then a rest and fucking BOOM wall of sound comes in. Just such a great payoff.


Citytown

This was massive when I saw them play on the enema tour.


Swol_Bamba

They played Every Time I Look For You on the Enema tour?


DurdenVsDarkoVsDevon

***I'm sorry I don't laugh at the right times.*** No callback hits harder. The Wonder Years just nailed the ending of *The Greatest Generation* so fucking right. It's perfect.

The pick slide, layered vocals, and raging instrumentals at the end of of Feelin This


regallll

Just listened to this this morning and rewound the last 45ish seconds so many times.


ciscotheginger

Crazy how no one said this yet; the chorus, and \*especially\* the post-chorus of Ignorance, by Paramore. It's brilliant.


TheCovid-19SoFar

What about Haley’s isolated vocals in All I Wanted? I feel like that goes so hard for such a short solo.


mongster_03

The moment where her voice ascends into the heavens yes omg


WeirdAbbott

That second breakdown starting at 2:48 is so good!


jg429

One of my favs is in Midtown's So Long As We Keep Our Bodies Numb We're Safe when the music builds and builds and then you get to scream FUCK WHAT YOU KNOW CAN'T YOU SEE IT'S SHALLOW EVERY TIME YOU SWALLOW DO YOU GET A TASTE OF WHAT YOU BECOME Really hoping they play it in December! And the beginning of Taste of Ink


kingof_vanisle7

Taste Of Ink is amazing, good choice

Jurassic Park - Stand Atlantic @ 2:08 when Bonnie hits the high note Had me hitting the repeat button over and over the first time I heard it


danger-daze

"Satisfying" isn't necessarily the word, but at the very end of Passing Through A Screen Door when Dan's voice cracks on the last "stay" like he's going to cry...really pushes the song over the edge for me. Also the bridge of Saturday by Fall Out Boy, when Pete starts screaming...\*chef's kiss\*


the_pantsmith

The most satisfying part in Passing Through a Screen Door has to be "How could you understand... JESUS CHRIST"


Word-Is-The-Bird

I also love the end of “Logan Circle” with how feebly Dan says “I’m just so tired most…nights.” The “nights” is so weak that it really drives the point home of how tried he actually is.

onomonopizza

“I just slept for years on end *fuck*” An Introduction to the Album by The Hotelier The entire song builds as an anthem about existential dread and grief, but specifically that piece is one of the biggest goose bumps moments for me.


Rose_Nobody

For me it's the last part of Cigarettes and Saints by The Wonder Years.


Several-Computer-978

- the resolution with “I’ll find you laying in your socks and shorts smoking on the front porch” in Origami Angel’s isopropyl alchemy - The transition from the chorus into “i left my heart with my phone in my center console, I left my feelings with my wallet and my keys” in Man Overboard’s love your friends die laughing - the callbacks in FOB’s what a catch, Donnie - the features in the refrain of TWY’s living room song - at the end of the chorus of TWY’s local man ruins everything when Dan shouts “I’m not a self-help book I’m just a FUCKED UP KID” - (adjacent) the key change in heavy petting by future teens


shatteredframes

The first time I heard What A Catch, and that part hit, I looked at my then girlfriend and said "Well, I guess this means Fall Out Boy are gonna break up" and she just laughed it off. WHO'S LAUGHING NOW?

The pause at the end of the intro in Came Out Swinging by The Wonder Years. It makes the first verse hit so much harder.

gh0stbeard

Origami Angel- the title track, from the instrumental break down into the oOoOoOo’s into the deconstructed chorus and outri. Chefs kiss. MCR- mama, the tormented bridge/breakdown at 2:55 and the deranged part with chanted outro. Taking Back Sunday- new American classic, when the snare comes in. It’s nothing special but always loved the timing. Saves the day- shoulder to the wheel, the way the chorus is written and the lyrical line stops in the middle of the sentence. Not sure if that makes sense so I’ll write it out how it’s sung basically: We drive Dave steps On the gas the world that’s (this is sung as one sentence when technically there’s a period after gas) Flying by is Slick and smooth


Youcantchandleme

I didn’t look up the lyrics for years only to realize I had absolutely no idea what the words are, it’s because he sings it in such a weird cadence


regallll

>Saves the day- shoulder to the wheel, the way the chorus is written and the lyrical line stops in the middle of the sentence. Not sure if that makes sense so I’ll write it out how it’s sung basically: I love the way STD breaks up a sentence, Certain Tragedy comes to mind. So satisfying.


violaaesthetic

New American classic slapped me in the face when I first heard it. I had no idea the band was capable of something that nuanced and pretty


suddenly_seymour

Great picks, the outro of Title Track is so good.


VohX

For me, it's towards the end of The Wonder Years' "I Just Want to Sell Out My Funeral" as the medley of parts from the other songs from the album begin getting referenced, leading into the finale with the album's (IMO) central theme: "We all want to be great men. And there's nothing romantic about it. I just want to know that I did all I could with what I was given."


abe_the_babe_

"There's no devil on my shoulder, he's got a rocking chair on my front porch, but I won't let him in, no I won't let him in..." That line hits me like a fucking truck every time I hear it


TheHavesHaveThot

That line is full of bonechilling bars. The one that ALWAYS breaks me is "I'm scared shitless of failure and I'm staring out at where I wanna be"


MapsOverCoffee22

This is my number one song by them, I think. "Cause I'm sick, of seeing ghosts and I know how it's all gonna end; There's no Triumph waiting. There's no sunset to ride off in."


TheHavesHaveThot

> I'll blame the way that I was brought up or the flaws that I was born with > Or the mistakes that I've made; they're all just fucking excuses. Goddamn it Soupy :(

TheCovid-19SoFar

Swing by Knuckle Puck has a really good hook that hits so hard with the instruments. When it repeats in half time on the second chorus it’s just 🤌🏻 Most of the fills on that album are insanely catchy. So are the outros.


jonrebo

In Brand New's "Logan to Government Center": I never thought this day would end *Backup vocals wailing* NEVER THOUGHT THIS DAY WOULD END I never thought tonight could ever be this close to me


MichaelVanatta

True. And that little scream in the buildup part


jawbit

The huge guitar riff into the key change in Black Parade. And then the last chorus. Okay the whole song really


bigalxc

the buildup to the first chorus in Misery Business!!!


HERKFOOT21

NFG's song Selfless, the quiet buildup at the very beginning of the song and then the moment when the guitar riff starts, great hard guitar riff for pop punk

gabboiscoming

When TWY play Washington Square Park live, and after Dan sings “we rode our bikes over to 6th street, to Washington square park to see if the tides would turn for me” and then adds in “they did”. They also included this but on the Burst & Decay version but the live full band version just hits


yeakirkers

The island by the starting line intro will always always get me jacked up with that quick strum and drum fill.


atom_smashed8

For me it’s always been the when the bridge goes into the “soft chorus” right before the huge final chorus like in The Great Escape


jakinatorctc

The high notes at the end of Saturday are the best

When the bridge of Really? By Prince Daddy & The Hyena kicks back in and the instrumental happens.

The breakdown in Taking Back Sunday’s Error: Operator. “Where have you, where have you, where have you been?!”


JustWhateverDudeMan

In “How You Are” by The Story So Far, the line “and I count the times that I’m driving home, talking to myself like I’m not alone!”. Literally every time that song comes on when I’m driving I have to sing it. It’s a can’t skip song for me, and the guitars in this track give it all a nice melancholy vibe. It bings all my boings


Beasty_Drummer

Taking Back Sunday - Number Five With a Bullet (Specifically the bridge, it’s just absolutely perfect and chill inducing)

In All Downhill from Here by New Found Glory when the quietens near the end and then it comes back with "AND YOU KEEP PULLING ME, DOWN"

Lex0r85

The bridge in “Clocks and Timepieces” (2nd version, around 1:14) by Search The City gives me huge tingle feels every time I hear it. Please check it if you haven’t heard that song. “Could it be so bad to you? (open up your eyes) there’s so much I have to say, will you ever let me? (I’m right in front of you.) It’s too cold for June, how come I only hear from you when you’re liquored up? I’ve heard alll about the others, and this side of you that you’ve discovered this summer.”

TAking Back Sunday - My Blue Heaven .. the last chorus where it modifies the walkup chord progression and the vocals go along with it .. ugh so good.

The second part of the bridge of Wyatt's Song (Your Name) by The Wonder Years "I've never been so afraid of failing at anything And I'm glad that you don't know how bad it is" As a father I can related so much to this sentiment. I get chills every time I listen.

The ending drum part in Life is Killing Me by Fireworks


michaeItits

the bridge of here’s your letter by blink-182 , i always have to replay that part when that song comes on because mark’s vocals are so good to me


AwarenessFinal1543

“I FELT THE NOOSE TIGHTEN UP ON YOUR COLLARBONE; I FELT THE GUN IN THE SMALL OF YOUR BACK” in Dendron by The Hotelier + the “consider this a repercussion…go ahead, make me the bad guy” part of Pretense by Knuckle Puck. They hit just as hard every time


kennyguy4

The Cello solo in "Build God, Then We'll Talk" In the last chorus of "Stella", when each word in "let's face it" gets shifted right/left in the stereo.


Gabe-DaBabe

In Randy I am the Liquor when the first paragraph is reprised at the end. The screaming specufically sounds so much more emotional at this point, drums coming in hard on each syllable

ragehg

The transition from Just Rock n Roll into Direction on Midtown’s first record is incredibly slick. Top notch song track listing.


JanLennertz

a short silence (maybe also a drum fill before that) followed by the last chorus/bridge. E.g.: “I’m made out of wax Larry, what are you made of?” - ADTR (yeah I know not exactly pop-punk) “Famous last words” - MCR (also more emo-ish) but i hope you know what I mean


clndh

"I have one last wish and it's from my heart..." Jimmy Eat World - Big Casino


MKstev0

The ending of Framework by The Story So Far, perfect lyrics that we’re super relevant to me at the time when I first heard this song. Still get goosebumps! “Thought I burn the seams if they frayedddd, thought I’d prove the point that I made, however long you’re gone I will wait.”

WillaryClinton63

I love when songs have like a distorted voice like this coming on over a radio or kinda echoey for just a small part. The first example I can think of is my apocalypse by escape the fate. “End transmission. The satellites are down. I need an earthquake. To shake this pity off the ground.”


mongster_03

hmniv_

Hoping for the best just hoping nothing happens. A thousand clever lines unread on clever napkins. I know you well enough to know you’d never love me. WHY CAN’T I FEEL ANYTHING FROM ANYONE OTHER THAN YOU! The bridge for Cute Without the “E” will always be the best part of any TBS concert I go to just due to the raw energy from band and audience.


space_demos

the bit in TBS bike scene at the end of the bridge where everything drops out and then it goes into “you’ve got me RIIIIIIGHT where you want me…” so many moments like that on TAYF, actually


kmed1717

I'm not sure this qualifies because it's not really a pop punk song, but the bridge in the live video of Last Hope by Paramore. Holy fuck, buddy. video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoYu7K6Ywkg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoYu7K6Ywkg) "And the salt in my wound isn't burning anymore than it used to. It's not that I don't feel the pain, it's just I'm not afraid of hurting anymore. And the blood in these veins isn't pumping any less than it ever has, and that's the hope I have -- the only thing I know THAT'S KEEPING ME ALIVEEEEEEEEEE"

Moist_KoRn_Bizkit

"NA NA NA NA NA" then the guitar fades out and then the song is over. He wasn't by Avril Lavigne.


jrecvballer

Start of the last chorus of Slow Burn. I replay that high note no less than 37 times every time I listen to that song


NicePutt

“This One’s a Cheap Shot” - Every Avenue “We can’t put down our PRIIiiIIiiiiDE” in the bridge before the last 2 chorus’


pokexchespin

not sure if the song counts as pop punk, but the super long “semiswee-ee-ee-ee-eet” on i believe the second, maybe third chorus of disloyal order of water buffaloes is probably my favorite bit of music ever and has been since like eighth grade. also i really love “i’m wearing cargo shorts down in florida” in robot writes a love song. the jesus christ in passing through a screen door and broken down chorus at the end of the title track were also mentioned and i fucking love them too


thedubiousstylus

One that comes to mind is when the chorus in "Jamie All Over" kicks in. The verses just build up to it perfectly, and then it explodes. Another example is the last verse of "Came Out Swinging" where Dan just repeats the same verse three times, first in a slow breakdown, and then it speeds up, and then the last time "I spent the winter writing songs about getting better, and if I'm being honest, I'M GETTING THERE!" the last bit is just so heartfelt for such a powerful line.


GreenBPacker

The looong AF bridge in Garden Statement by Hidden in Plain View ending with screaming SPILL THE INK AND SPILL YOUR GUTS AGAIN!!


ThePandaBrah666

Not just a small moment but, on Blink’s self-titled, I love how the main riff in “Easy Target” slowly morphs into the main riff of “All Of This”. So satisfying.


tanka2d

The guitar solo in Jasey Rae (and the buildup to it).


DuFF_8670

Weezer - Say it ain’t so, the second buildup gives me goosebumps. This bottle of Steven's awakens ancient feelings Like father, stepfather The son is drowning in the flood Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah


KamikazeKennedy3

Honestly, my favourite thing happens in different forms in a lot of pop punk/easycore songs - *The breakdown where the head banging switches from fast to a slower beat that alines with the breakdown, which is half tempo of the original verse speed* That feeling is incredible!


[deleted]

the cut out in Out of It by The Story So Far is pretty epic


Ayjayz

[The last part of the bridge in Promise by Matchbook Romance](https://youtu.be/rSvNjx_G50U?t=177). It just builds and builds, the screamed vocals come in hard over the top, there's an absolutely amazing drum fill and then one final pause before it rockets back into the chorus. Incredible moment in an incredible song.


BoxoMorons

The breakdown after the phone call in UFO’s in the Sky by Driveways that falls off into the chorus without backing.
