Only really bad song on NA is Capitol M-E. I Usually only skip that and Where My Mouth Is. Still not sure why they didn't include Long Time Comin on the record. Way better than both of those.
Sink Into Me AND New Again were terrible choices. Possibly my least favorite songs on the album. NA is the better one, though
Also strongly agree with the Carpathia love. I think it might be my favorite on the album. Just a really cool sounding song
152 was an enjoyable few listens but I've had no desire to return to it and I hate how short it is. Definitely better than TW and S/T, but not sure I would put it above any of their other albums
152 is great. I may like HI better, I’d have to listen to it again as it’s been awhile. But those two are the best post reunion to me by far. I’d put both over WYWTB and LN. TAYF may always be my favorite due to nostalgia and all that, even though it’s not their best work overall by far.
I love the "Sink in, sink in"s that Matt does for backing vocals in Sink Into Me live. He should've sang more.
152 is great. Doesnt overstay it's welcome, has them trying new sounds, production is so smooth. It probably could've used another song like S'old to keep the energy up, though.
I'm listening to Happiness Is right now, and woof I HATE the sound of the drums on this. The snare sounds like a trash can.
I listen to 152 all the time. Absolutely love Lightbringer, New Music Friday, The One, and Keep Going. Amphetamine, S’old, Quit Trying, and The Stranger are all pretty good too. Listen to I Am The Only One Who Knows You and Juice 2 Me the least, they’re the weakest tracks for me, but overall album is solid to me.
If you don’t like “Keep Going,” you’re probably a fake TBS fan. Other than the modern-sounding “whoa-ohs,” that chorus is straight off Louder Now, imo.
The biggest problem with the S/T album is the lack of John. You bring him back and then there’s barely dual vocals, wtf?
I don't hear it. Maybe the lyrical content sounds like their old stuff but it doesn't sound like any of their old stuff to me at all.
