Taking Back Sunday Band • Page 384

WYWTB > TAYF > LN > HI > NA > TW > Self Titled

TAYF will always be a landmark album for me but going back to it now, WYWTB is the better of the two

 

I bet Shawn Cooper donates to charities that help minorities. I could be 100% wrong, but just a vibe I get from him.

 

I get a vibe that John Nolan has played guitar for a long time and supports gay rights.

Source: His twitter says longtime guitarist and, I quote, he says, I am truly in my element here as a gay rights icon.

 

I dunno. I let him in 2005 and he played keyboard a bit. I question is guitar ability.

 

I get a vibe that they're not really 100% committed to taking back Sunday. They might settle for a 50/50 kind of thing.

 

Personally, me, I think they want to take back Monday.
From Garfield.
The cat.
He doesn’t respect it.

 

i never heard that expression before and i love it.

 

that last "daaaamn sure" didn't sound too bad.

 

YES.

 

NA > WYWTB > HI > LN > TW > TAYF > TBS

 

this was a joke but I actually do love NA for the most part (WYWTB is my actual #1 TBS album)

 

Flicker Fade
El Paso
Great Romances
Error Operator
Sink Into Me
This Photograph is Proof
MakeDamnSure
Your Own Disaster

those are the only TBS songs i really need

 

I remember when saying WYWTB was your favorite was "wrong". Glad to see that mentality has faded. Still my fave by a long shot.

WYWTB >>>> HI > TAYF > LN > TBS > NA > TW

 

best song is you can't look back.

 

This thread is a good example of what 6 years without a new album from an active band does to a fanbase. We're losing it! Talking in circles! Dredging up old drama! Repeating conversations. Anywho here's my ranking and why

WYWTB > LN > TAYF > HN > NA > TW > S/T

So my 2 favorite have always been the same though at times one can overtake the other. I went with WYWTB since I think it closes stronger. I'll Let you live is not a great track.

From NA forward I haven't connected with any of the albums as much. They all at least have a few tracks I think are great but then some that I think are clunkers or that I don't care to return to.

Highlights from NA onward
NA: Summer man, Swing, Everything Must Go (best closer?!)
S/T: This Is all Now, Faith, El Paso, Best Places
HN: Flicker Fade, Beat Up Car, Better Homes
WT: You Can't Look Back, Fences

I also want to say Louder Now leaving off Brooklyn and Sleep was a mistake. Cut Up Against for Brooklyn and maybe replace Divine Intervention with Sleep? Or leave Divine and make it a 12 track album.

 

Brooklyn is the best song they have from the LN era

 

I'm not ranking TBS stuff again until at least a month after a new album lol

 

I always have to let an album marinate for about a year before I really know how I feel about it. The initial reaction is never the lasting reaction.

 

I love I'll Let You Live

 

Well, yeah!

 

Giving this a listen now, it's been too long.

 

18 years good goddamn

in 2 years theyll celebrate the 20 year anniversary with another TAYF tour

 

"We're going on a year-long global tour in 2024 to celebrate the 20-year anniversary of Where You Want To Be! We'll be playing Tell All Your Friends in its entirety! We plan to finish up our first new studio album since 2016 as soon as we get home."

 

Unless I'm misunderstanding, the recent instagram post seems to suggest they're playing WYWTB in full at When We Were Young Fest
