We have the exact same take on them. Even your ranking.

 

Not surprising there's a top 5 song on there top 1 record though.

 

When Jason did that desert island band thing I said Anthony Green with the understanding it would include everything he had done so saosin, circa, TSOAF, solo stuff.

Yeah that year was something special

Did you make this? This is too perfect to be a Google gif.

 

thank god. someone in here gets it. literally everyone in my personal life has the same thoughts

 

I’ll fall asleep tonight, ‘cuz that brings me closer to you.

Tier one emo, that there.

Also, “Once in a Row” came on afterwards on Spotify radio for that song. #threadrelevance

 

I totally get the busy thing.

I have no shortage of fresh song ideas if you ever need inspiration.

 

just google! haha

 

What about you @Kingjohn_654 fave CIS album?

 

Google is machine learning gif making based on our thread topics. What a time to be alive.

 

Is Dead!!!

 

Get Out, Frozen Creek, Copendium, Dyed In the Wool. Great songs. The rest range from okay, albeit a little boring, to straight up bad (Imaginary Enemy).

 

Here come the hot takes...

 

Blue Sky Noise was the first indicator that the band was headed on a downward slope.

Me talking smack, getting ready to fight:

 

I don't know about anybody else but Bloodsucker I was really good, III & IV were OK but II was just bad.

Juturna gets its points because A) The sound really hadn’t been done before and everyone expected Saosin 2.0. B) Anthony knocked it out of the park vocally. C) The lyrical content is so ambiguous, yet perfect, I still get different takes on songs today from it.

On Letting Go was Juturna prestiged. I could easily say Living Together is one of my all time favorite openers. The guitar riffs are beautiful, I visualize colors when I hear it like I can’t explain.

Since then: I think BSN is great because the contents are great, but clearly also them branching out as to not repeat what they already did.

I love 5 songs on Violent Waves. The rest of it is ok, nothing terrible.

The other albums.. I’ve listened to. and knowing full well I still love the band, but just can’t fall into the newer stuff like I do those first 4, I simply avoid them to not tire myself ever of the band. There’s also a solid random 5 other songs that I absolutely love that aren’t on LP’s which are:

Resentment (Seriously, how the fuck is this not on a real release yet)
Suspending Disbelief
1,000 Witnesses
The Most Dangerous Commercials
Handshakes At Sunrise

 

This is a good post.

 

I really want to like their newer stuff. I listen to every album with an optimistic mindset, but then I’m just bored

 

This is how I felt with violent waves and deconsesjs lots of typos don't feel like fixing.

 

Agreed! I find his solo work pretty good tbh. I am amazed at his ability to write so much. Some of it is better than others, sure. But he’s still a consistent artist. Idk why the band seems kind of uninspired the last two albums. Schema is pretty cool, but the rest of the album was nothing like it.

 

The Amulet and Descensus are great. You’re all a bunch of fuckin’ knuckleheads.

 

That thing is adorable, I want one.

 

Strange Terrain is a great song
