Taking Back Sunday Band • Page 279

Welp, I just had to scroll their Wikipedia page instead of digging up old articles lol

 

Yeah this is true. They had to clarify that it absolutely wasn’t a joke

 

I just wanna break you down so badly!

;)

 

Ok, think i can officially rank now. The first three were hard firstly, because WYWTB was my first album and first favorite and secondly, while i think LN is the better album, i think if i had TAYF on my mp3 still, I'd listen to it more and it'd be my favorite. Well anyway, here goes!

Louder Now
Tell All Your Friends
Where You Want To Be
Happiness Is
Tidal Wave

New Again and Self Titled

Lol

 

Where You Want To Be
New Again
Louder Now
Happiness Is
Tidal Wave
Tell All Your Friends
Taking Back Sunday

I think at this point, I find my top three the ones I return to the most because that’s when the band had the most skilled musicians in their lineup. Rubano paired with Fred or Fazzi is never a boring listen for me.

 

I like all their albums to a certain degree, but this is how I'm feeling right now:

Where You Want To Be
Louder Now
New Again
Tell All Your Friends
Tidal Wave
Happiness Is
Taking Back Sunday

 

Why?

 

No this is the thread for Taking Back Sunday. ‘Alopecia’ is a pretty good album, though.

 

If self titled isn't at the bottom of everybody's list then idk what pipe they're smoking from

 

But New Again is their worst.... so this is a problem

 

No

 

Tell All Your Friends is my least favorite and I stand by that hot take.

 

I disagree but I'll settle for bottom two lol

 

I mean, I think for a lot of people their love for it is based on nostalgia and memories of a particular time in their lives and likely very specific relationships and not as much on song writing and things like that.

 

I’ll allow it haha

 

I could go on endlessly about how much I enjoy New Again. Creatively, I think it’s their best record and much of the production is killer.

Of course the shift in lyrical style and delivery from that of their earlier career is a bit jarring, and Fazzi’s voice was far too buried, but I appreciate the risks the band took on that record, and believe they had a firm grasp on how to execute their ideas, even though some of those ideas were clearly stronger than others, but it’s a fascinating listen all the same.

 

The album is so boring to me. It’s so unengaging.

 

Okay.

 

Carpathia and Where My Mouth Is are some of the best songs this band has written

 

There’s not a single moment that moves me on the whole album.

 

i see we're talking about whether new again is good... again

(imo it's great and it's still one of their worst records, i like and listen to it more than the s/t)

 

Heh that's crazy to me. I understand a good majority of the songs not doing anything for fans of TBS's past albums, but to not even like a single song on there is weird. Swing could easily have been on Louder Now

 

My ranking, going by number of scrobbles. Will always stand by New Again. YES, @ ME!

 

I’m getting deja vu reading these posts.

 

Every few years I try again and am just as bored and unmoved as the first time.
