New American Classic awful? Not voting Decade? When this is all over we need to make a list of all your tbs hot takes lol
NAC is not good. Decade is fine, but Union is better. Decade would have been better if the second half of the song wasn't just "I've got a bad feeling about this" X 100.
Yes I am! Well...grew up in the Painesville area, lived in Mentor while working in Cleveland, now in the Northfield/Macedonia/Twinsburg area and working in Akron. You?
the first two are whatever, little devotional actually makes me hit skip. Adam's vocals are out of control on that one
the way Adam sings "answers" for whatever reason has just always really grated on me. The intro is cool though, I will give it that
Very nice! I lived right across there in Heatherstone for a few years after college. I went to Riverside.
I don't mind the repetition of "I got a bad feeling about this" a the end of Decade. I actually love it. And just dismissing it as repetition seems kind of lazy to me. Lyrically, yes, it's an undeniable fact that it's repetitive, but Fred starts it out real slow and soft and then builds it louder and louder until it becomes the "I got it bad" scream at the end. Same feeling you have when you wait to long to act on any bad situation. You can see disaster ahead but you don't do anything until it's too late. It works perfectly for me.
Yeah, Decade is a top 10 TBS track. love the dynamics and how everything just builds and then drops out with Fred screaming to close. That and Cute Without The E were the two tracks that got me into the band in the first place
Again, the song is fine. But Your last couple lines are an insane reach to justify lazy writing, even if Fred sings it well.
I generally only listen to albums where I don't skip songs. TBS is honestly one of the very few exceptions where their good is so good that it's worth putting an album on even if I will skip their garbage songs.
I don't think a repetitive lyric always equals lazy song writing. Sometimes the simplest way to do something is the best. To me the way it's delivered is just as important as the words written down and in this case it fits the song perfectly.
