Saosin - Along The Shadow (May 20, 2016) Album • Page 72

I mean, Anthony left the band in the first place right before their peak, so I don't know if I'd exactly paint him as their saviour haha. But yeah, they seemed to be in the wilderness and didn't appear to want Tillian.

Either way I'm not saying he should or has to. Just saying it's a shame. For sure Chris & Beau will be happy to be playing with Sao.

 

I'm not saying anything wild here. Just because Anthony says something, doesn't mean the rest of the band disagrees with it. You realize that Beau and/or Chris playing songs by themselves that they wrote with the band.... is normal, and doesn't mean they would want to play them at an Anthony-fronted Saosin show.

 

S/T > anything they ever put out with Anthony tbh

 

Eh

 

Bold...but sort of agree. I've said it before. TTN is iconic (in the scene), but S/T is a fucking wild ride of an album.

 

this actually got me thinking maybe you could audition for Circa

 

how exactly is it a “wild ride”

 

That record’s sound is chock full of urgency. Alex’s drumming is insane from start to finish. The mix is amazing. The riffs whip ass. And cove, though bad live, soars on this fucking thing. The ending of “It’s far better to learn” in and of itself is wild.

 

The production/mix works for the album, but I definitely cringe listening to vocals at times when I know there’s a note Cove absolutely could not hit (chorus of It’s So Simple, outro of Voices).

 

I didn’t say I was good at it lol

but I can do a mean Act Appalled

 

I love a lot of the Anthony songs (Shadow is half killer half filler though IMO) so it’s not like I think Cove is a much better singer but the songs as a whole are stronger on S/T than TTN/ATS in my eyes.

 

Bug album for life

 

I would agree S/T is better than ATS.

 

S/T is absolutely better than ATS

 

"In Search of Solid Ground" has entered the chat.

 

Lol no it hasn’t

 

But it wants to.

 

I keep my secrets safe is an all timer. Am I missing anything else?

 

The two b-sides are some of my favorite Saosin Cove material.. "You Never Noticed Me" and "Bury Me"

 

Let Go Control is also incredible

 

Yeah im really glad the Sheet Happens tab book for the S/T included that song.

 

I really enjoy half of ISOSG where as I love almost everything on S/T..

It’s not better than Anthony’s material but Secrets, On My Own, The Alarming Sound.., Is This Real, and Fireflies are underrated gems none the less IMO.

 

I really wish they swapped out I Never Wanted To with that track. It feels more like a bside anyways.

 

it's wild how they could go from something as interesting as TTN to something as vanilla as s/t
