Taking Back Sunday Band • Page 165

ok

 

The chorus of Miami is like sticking needles in your eye repeatedly.

 

TBS is one of the only bands (that I’ve listened to, I’m sure it applies to others) where they can put out an album and have some of their all time best and their all time worst songs. Sometimes it switches from track to track. It’s so weird how all over the place they get quality wise.

 

I prefer it over all of those except maybe spin.
I find the chorus so elegant and almost soothing, especially with the backing guitar.

 

The underlying guitar melody at the end during "The terror held in wedding bells..." is glorious.

 

Miami is an amazing song and I'd choose it over the majority of their songs from the past 3 albums. Money however, is among their worst songs.

 

i'm pretty comfortable calling "Money" the worst thing they've ever put out

 

Yeah, Money, Cut Me Up Jenny and Up Against are some pretty shitty songs. All 3 of which have b-sides from their respective albums that are infinitely better songs.

 

If there was a song I could erase from existence by a band I like, it'd be Cut Me Up Jenny

 

It's funny you say this

Because if you think it's garbage

Then you listened to it

So

It's... by definition

Not unlistenable.




Sorry.

 

But how can one truly say it without listening to it at least once?

Or, I could be speaking of it during this time, which would still be true.

Context is important. Since I left it vague, it still works from a certain point of view.

 

Cut Me Up Jenny hate????? Song is awesome! I love the jenny/gently interchanging.

If I had to pick a TBS song to erase it would be I'll Let You Live up until the chorus.

 

But that song is good.

 

As is Miami

 

Hmm, maybe if you add a time qualifier. "This song is currently unlistenable to myself, Greg"

 

Flicking through the self-titled as it's been a while - I absolutely love This Is All Now.

 

Fuck no

 

Nah. Garbage song is garbage.

 

well see, now you removed the part about listening, so you did a good job, congrats!

 

My bad. Miami is atrocious unlistenable garbage. How in the hell could a band put such greatness on an album like Spin/My Blue Heaven/WIFLTBAG and also have shit stain like Miami? It’s absurd how far apart they are in quality. It’s unbelievable.

 

aaaand you lost it again... almost there

 

I'm not sure what was going on in your life when you first heard that song, but whoever you were then, you can't ever be again.

 

I was hearing a horrendously bad song. It was an awful 3 minutes and 42 seconds.

 

Hot take: WIFLTBAG isn’t nearly as good as band and most fans seem to think it is.

 

It’s a fine song but definitely shouldn’t be a set staple.

Worst TBS song is sad savior or money. My goodness those choruses are bad.
