Saves The Day Band • Page 11

I don't hate Under the Boards if this is in reference to what I said, and on Daybreak the only thing I am not a fan of is the vocals, which admittedly do a fair amount to drag that album down for me. My least favorite Saves the Day album is still a good Saves the Day album ((imo, obviously))

also YEAH re:Glassjaw, like. Shattered??? nice

 

Oh no I just meant in general you're good. Seems like some other communities and fans in general don't care for the post SWYA material which is a shame.

 

And yeah you can tell that little bit of Glassjaw influence seeped in on Sound The Alarm and UTB to an extent.

 

It's just the lyrics. The music is awesome.

 

I've actually never listened to Glassjaw because I heard their lyrics were super misogynistic, but then i found out that was just their early stuff. Still forgot to give them a listen though. but I am pretty sure I know what they're about musically.
I think the lyrics are super simplistic in relation to their pre UTB -- like in general it's a lot more show don't tell -- but I don't remember them being awful

 

I actually really like the lyrics :/

 

Under The Boards is definitely not my favorite STD album but there are some gems there for sure.

Particularly "Can't Stay the Same" which might have one of their best hooks ever and "Get Fucked Up"

 

We're on the exact same page haha

 

the title track of daybreak + undress me are enough for me to love that album.

God Undress Me is so fucking good. Probably their best closer

 

SWYA is close to overtaking The Ugly Organ and Worship & Tribute as two of my most played albums on last.fm and im ok with it.

Eulogy is a fucking incredible song btw idk if ive mentioned that yet i need to praise Sound The Alarm more

 

ups and downs was my first std song

 

i didnt get into this band til 2012 so i heard it all at once, didnt like it then either. i think in reverie is way different tbh

 

jordan do you approve of my ranking above i know how much this band means to you and you mean a lot 2 me

 

I declare it a "good" ranking

what is your favorite IR song

 

Driving In The Dark

 

INTERESTING CHOICE

mine is Tomorrow Too Late, also maybe my favorite STD song ever

 

maybe my favorite STD closer

 

That's one area where I think StD always succeeds. Ever since SWYA their closers have been awesome.

 

To be fair, Jodie and banned from the back porch are really solid songs and closers aheh.

 

For some odd reason, "Banned from the Back Porch" never synched to my computer and I went about a year thinking the eponymous track was the closer. It worked really well as one, too, even though I do enjoy the real closer now.

 

Until reading this I also thought Through Being Cool was the closer. I honestly don't think I want to listen to Banned From the Back Porch now lol. Don't need my world to be shattered like that after 10+ years of listening to the album one way.

 

This was the same for me. Maybe we both ended up initially getting TBC from the same sketchy megaupload link aggregate

 

same thing happened to me with SWYA and Firefly

 

You were all shortchanged by the same files. You were all had.

Fun fact: Eben and Chris Conley were having issues while Chris was having his own troubles. The rest of the band went with Chris to therapy minus Eben. Eventually both Eben and Chris knew what had to be done. ..
