Taking Back Sunday Band • Page 458

Fred definitely seems like a good guy, but I also get the sense that everyone was probably a prick in that situation. Also even though I love new again, Capital M-E always felt forced

 

Better Homes and Gardens feels pretty mean to me, too, but boy what a great song

 

I spun up New Again for the first time in ages last night and I think I like it even more than I already did.

I was never big on the songs New Again and Sink Into Me, but I was vibing with them pretty hard last night lol. Carpathia continues to be one of the best songs they've written

 

let's rank mean songs

 

1. You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch

 

Mean TBS songs!

 

Which Isekai would TBS at their current age have the most success in?

 

we could always circle back to my personal favourite type of discussion, why didn't Ballad of Sal/Brooklyn/Winter Passing/You Were Right etc make the album

 

Is it Blue Channel for you then? Something’s gotta be at the bottom.

 

For real. Their b-sides are great more often than not. My personal favorites are Follow the Format and Mackey Sasser

 

Hell, practically every self titled b-side is better than most of the album we ended up getting. Baffling decisions

I also preferred the version of You Should Have Waited that they played in their initial reunion tour over the actual recorded demo

 

Re:Zero: Starting Life In Another World From Zero.

...because they'd be New Again.

(runs)

 

The self-titled demos are great. I feel like with that album Warner had maybe a little extra influence as far as what ended up on the album (but also this is mostly just me giving the band the benefit of the doubt lol)

 

From their discord

 

And now on Instagram too, apparently:

 

The questions are gonna be wild

 

Somebody in the discord was collecting questions last week. Not sure if any/all the questions will be from the live comments.

 

just here singing the praises for Abendigo again. Smiling and Alive is one of Nolan's masterpieces

 

Am I the only one who comes back to this more frequently than nearly everything else in their discography?

 

wouldn't say that but it's pretty great. maybe my favourite version of Decade there

 

For a band that’s notoriously not very good live, they do have some killer live albums haha

 

Pretty sure Fred or Fazzi accused the band of heavily editing their live albums.

 

this is maybe my favorite thing they ever did

 

I mean, blink did it. And I wouldn’t be shocked if it happened here.

 

I’m sure most bands do it to some extent.
