You guys are gonna feel real dumb when The Killers put out a new album and it has Taking Back Sunday vibes.
Because so many people here think New Again sucks? You’re right, that is “bad opinions thread” behavior.
I mean numerous times I've said it has some good songs on it. The fact that it's the most talked about album in here is batshit though
There's definitely an argument to be made that we don't need to talk about it as much because it's universally known that it's their best album. It would be like just telling people that the sky is blue.
I just talk about it because if it gets mentioned at all people have to remind you it’s fucking terrible. So I like to gently remind everyone it’s actually good.
It has four songs I really like/love but I'm just not going to engage on it anymore at all. So some good has come of this I suppose
…how many posts into the new album thread do you think it’ll be when New Again first comes up. Probably not many!
It's really shocking how much of a decline there's been in fan interest, sales and quality with everything post New Again. I remember being at a show in Memphis and the crowd just started chanting "NEW AGAIN, NEW AGAIN!" It soon devolved into absolute chaos and the band members were dragged off stage one by one into the crowd as people screamed "Well my dear what deep roots you have. All the better to hold you down!" The band took a pretty hard look at themselves after that.
I love New Again, but the way the thread was going at the time I read your comment as sarcasm, my bad!
