Taking Back Sunday Band • Page 321

Up Against is (by far) my least favorite TBS song throughout their first four albums.

 

Judging from that track by track interview, it is among Adam's least favorites from the album (at least initially)

 

I cannot imagine a world where Up Against and/or Twenty Twenty are not on Louder now. I won't stand for it.

 

Up Against is a whole lot of nothing

 

My hot take is that none of the songs should be left off, just add Brooklyn and Sleep and voilà.

 

There are so many B Sides from bands around this time that I question who made the final decision to leave them off. Bombers by Yellowcard is a prime example.

 

Beat Up Car is such a banger

 

Brooklyn would be a better closer I'll Let You Live

lets fight @ncarrab

 

Sounds like you... settle for less.

 

my controversial opinion is i love "up against" a lot

 

1. what's it feel like to be a ghost
2. liar
3. makedamnsure
4. up against
5. my blue heaven
6. twenty twenty surgery
7. brooklyn
8. spin
9. divine intervention
10. miami
11. sleep
12. error: operator
13. i'll let you live

idk, i hate resequencing, but this is how i'd rock it

 

Up Against has grown on me over the years. Twenty Twenty Surgery needs to go. Brooklyn is one of their best songs.

 

as much as i might quibble with sequencing of albums, i would never dare to resequence an album myself

 

I listened to the Fantastic Four version of Error: Operator last night for the first time, and that was a trip

 

I've never understood the love for Sleep. It's okay. You could slot Brooklyn in right after I'll Let You Live and I think it would work great. Scrap Up Against if you want to keep it at 11 tracks.

 

"brooklyn" feels v much like a mid-album side ender to me and not a closer. "i'll let you live" is a fuckin incredible closer and i'm still waiting for everyone to recognize it

 

Brooklyn would've worked well as the track right before I'll Let You Live imo

 

Brooklyn has always had closer energy to me. I just can't picture it anywhere but the end or maybe second to last. I'll Let You Live is a great song as well and definitely doesn't fit anywhere but as closer.

 

The track by track was cool. I didn't know Adam came up with the riff for Ghost or that it was inspired by Queens of the Stone Age.

Mark is always super honest in these types of interviews. Flat out saying he did not like Miami while Adam loves it.

 

Miami is definitely a love it or hate it type of song

I just happen to love it

 

Brooklyn is amazing, but I could do without Sleep.

But I also love Up Against.

 

just listened to a bit of the track by track and never knew the sound in the bridge to MDS was actually a voice, i always thought it was like weird distorted feedback or something.

 

What interview? Link me?

 

Going through Louder Now for the first time in a while. It's still a very good album. Holy hell I forgot how much Spin slaps.
