Self Titled is probably their weakest album. I think it comes down to a combo of them trying to figure out how to write together again and picking the wrong producer in Eric Valentine. Still, there are some really good tracks on it.
Talking about S/T is a good time bring up how much I dislike Faith, it's such a boring track. I've seen them 3 times since Happiness Is came out and that is the only track they play from S/T (besides one time they played You Got Me which was nice). Why is that the staple instead of El Paso or Best Places?
Faith is the worst song on this Soundtrack too Transformers: Dark of the Moon – The Album - Wikipedia
faith might be the worst song they ever wrote. seems like a lame ass attempt to cash in on another makedamnsure that is nowhere near as clever or good as the first single
I dunno, I looked at the list and there are a lot of great songs on there. Esp the LP, Skillet and Staind song.
'This is All Now' and 'Sad Savior' are two of my favorite TBS tracks. I think the record is somewhat uneven; they're better when they're slow and heavier than when they try to be upbeat. Which was the first I'd felt that way about the band, ever. Really good record all around, but not near as good as their best.
Try my top 5 I guess. Timberwolves at New Jersey Set Phasers To Stun My Blue Heaven This Is All Now It Takes More
My top five is probably: 180 You Know How I Do Holy Water ...Slowdance We Were Younger Then The top three is pretty concrete but the other two could change tomorrow in all honesty.
My Blue Heaven deserves some love. Edit: I see it on a couple lists...should’ve read through this more.
Yea, I don't understand why Faith is a staple on their setlist. There are so many better songs they could play.
This Is All Now is one of my favorite S/T tracks. Seeing it live really helped too - At the Cleveland date (maybe he did this everywhere) Adam performed most of the song in the back of the room and that was pretty great
I agree. It’s on the lower end of their songs for me discography wise but damn if it doesn’t sound great live
Faith is fine and inoffensive but I agree it’s a weird choice for a set staple. When I listen thru s/t I’m reminded it’s not that bad but only Doesn’t Feel a Thing Like Falling and Best Places are in the top 75% of their discog. Maybe call me in the morning too; their acoustic songs usually bore me and I think it’s one of the better ones. Top 10 bc 5s too hard Ghost Man 180 Decade Swing EMG They don’t have any friends Better homes We were younger then All excess Fences/you can’t look back Other takes: -my list needs more WYWTB -Honorable mentions to spin, Miami Miami Miami every hour on the hour -Brooklyn and sleep are both top tier You just have to trust me whoever I was then I can’t ever be again
Because this thread has been showing Tidal Wave and TBS love, I changed my profile pic since I've been jamming allllllll day to them. Thanks everyone.
