Bad song, cool cover, still excited for the album, I hope it continues to build off Happiness Is since that's a good direction for them with this lineup
it's not bad but there are bands who have been doing this kind of Ramones-y punk sound for their whole career and have it nailed down. I'd rather just go listen to Against Me
Only El Paso and This Is All Now get play from the S/T still for me. And I was not a fan of Happiness Is at all... That being said, if this quasi-punk throwback is the sound they go to for the new album I can get 100% behind it.
It's taken me a little bit to process how I feel, and I think you're close to how I feel. Like....this track is alright....but why make it? It's uninspired. It's just a rehash of a song that a million other bands have already done, and it doesn't even try to hide that.
Yeah, if you're going to write a punk song, like this is the absolute simplest way to do it. It's really doing nothing for me.
Really dig this! It sucks everyone finds a reason to pick apart everything they release. Brand New changed their sound in a sense between albums and TBS never really took that leap. Glad to see them going for something different this time around.
I knew I wasnt alone in thinking this, didnt go back through previous pages but Im sure others are saying it too.
I get that the bands had a very tangible connection in their early days but we're so far past that and the bands have gone in such opposite directions that the comparison is weird to me now
At first I thought he asks: "Will you call for pizza or join the war." It took me a minute to realize he must be saying "will you call for peace or join the war."
I'm certainly thrown for a loop... I certainly don't hate it I'm just not sure what to think--I kinda like it? I'm very curious and excited about what the rest of the album will sound like. TBS have always been a solid go-to for me; they can do no wrong in my eyes--they get a G pass on whatever.
I mean, they are different sounds, but they're still rock musicians with a pretty large overlap of fans. I personally will compare any music that I enjoy- I don't care how different they sound, I care about how they make me feel and react. Hell, I have no problem saying something like enjoying the latest Childish Gambino song over some Blink song.
