Number 19: Another Weekend In The City

One of MANY custom covers for AWITC

Well this is a bit of a weird entry. This album technically doesn't even exist, it's just a compilation of B-Sides from the actual A Weekend In The City album, but that doesn't mean it's not an amazing album in its own right. While the actual AWITC album is pretty great too, this one has a different feel to it that is superior in my opinion, it goes for a more melancholic and somber vibe, especially from Vision of Heaven onwards, with Emma Kate's Accident being a perfect closer. This album is great for more chill days where I just don't feel like listening to anything "hard", although it still has some more straightforward rock tunes like Version 2.0 and Secrets. Technically this album was released semi-recently, it was put up on streaming as A Weekend In The City B-Sides which is a bit of a lame title but it's great to finally have these released in an official way, although the song order is a little weird, like Version 2.0 being put at the end when it's not a closer song at all. Another Weekend In The City works better as a title as it fits the theme of it being related to AWITC, as it's essentially like you're going back to that same city, hence why you're getting a new and different experience, hence the songs going for a different feel.
