Taking Back Sunday Band • Page 526

It just hit me like a ton of bricks…

Is…is Amphetamine Smiles about Mark?

 

I wish Straylight would put their 3 Track EP from 2007 on streaming. Their rendition of “Peach Plum Pear” is one of my all-time favourite covers

 

Just threw on Louder Now for the first time in a while and it still holds up very well.

 

Is "your own disaster" rly not on spotify? Maaaan

 

I’ve asked John about this and it’s out of their hands and up to the label, unfortunately

 

The awful Elektra version is and then the Orensanz and TAYF10 acoustic

 

Yup sadly not the original from the split ep

 

Possibly. Oh shit.

 

Orensanz version reigns supreme here

 

best version of the song.

 

Years ago I bought New Again on vinyl for $14. Just unwrapped it tonight and spun it for the first time.

 

Can't wait to get mine tomorrow! Hopefully!!

 

I don't get what you guys have against the Elektra version, it's really not that bad. I actually love it.

 

Been a while since I read about the history of New Again.

Forgot that Summer, Man was originally written while Fred was still in the band.

Also, an early title of New Again was originally “When All Is Said and Done More is Said Than Done”

That would have been a much better title tbh.

Where My Mouth Is was originally 6-7 minutes long.

Looking at the vinyl notes tonight, Eric Valentine is thanked for being an idea man and an inspiration - despite not producing.

 

Ok - onto 152

 

is the Elektra version of Disaster the one that's a bonus track on some versions of WYWTB? cos that's legit my favourite version lol

 

Finally, someone agrees with me!

 

I had no idea anyone disliked that version lmao, the harmonies at the end are fantastic

 

Og cuts the “lost piece you’re already all I have” part, right?

 

Didn’t know there were two versions but I rediscovered that song this past summer and let me tell you I had an emotional evening. Such a great TBS cut

 

I knew there were multiple versions but I wasn’t sure which one I deferred to so I went back and listened to them all.

Orensanz is the one I listen to the most.

 

GOAT version

 

Unequivocally based. I wish those videos weren't just available on 2 pixels.

 

The elektra version has like a whole extra minute of Adam just making noises that I guess are words, and it’s missing John’s vocals. I think it’s a better quality recording but the weird vocal effects are just not it.

 

Oh, yeah. I can understand that.
Also, update: I went to the record store and they had zero TBS records. I did, however, find the Notes From the Past CD, which has the Elektra version of YOD on it so that's pretty funny.
