I think that Sirens is the best, but I know that album isn't for everyone. In particular, the lyrics get pretty dark, even for Bayside. I think that for your average music fan S/T will be the best early album. I'm also in the minority in that The Walking Wounded is one of my least favorite Bayside albums. I love every single one, but TWW is down the list for me.
Self Titled and TWW are pretty much a tie for me as their best. I also adore Shudder but I'm probably in minority. I think Sirens is their worst album by a long shot, although I still enjoy it.
Walking Wounded is always my go-to but that's a top-five album for me in general. I've been finding myself listening to Shudder a lot more the past year, though.
Walking Wounded is the best followed by self-titled. Sirens isn't that good. The latest would come pretty close to the top for me.
S/T is their best I think. Walking Wounded and Killing Time are insanely close to it though. All 3 perfect records
Haha. Gotta love personalized recs like that 1. because they tend to work and 2. because you're immediately curious what other people think of you via this rec.
i feel like the story with their first four records is the same as everything after. half of it is good to great and the other half i never go back too. walking wounded is probably the strongest all the way through though
How are they live? Seeing them with Say Anything. I'd say I'm familiar with a lot of their stuff, not all of it as I find them to get repetitive sound wise but a couple of hit songs here or there stick with me.
