Taking Back Sunday Band • Page 544

Exactly my ranking, up top!

 

I’d say Tidal Wave and Happiness Is are almost on the same level. Happiness Is has more bangers front-to-back but Tidal Wave is the more cohesive album from track to track. They’re both great, but 152 is actually their best post-reunion album.

 

I feel that way too. I don't have a favorite song on Tidal Wave per se, because I love listening to it from front-to-back more. To me, that album is more of an experience than a "just pick a few songs off the album and listen to them at random" thing like I do with the other TBS albums (except 152).

 

"He genu"?

 

Haha i deleted it, I accidentally hit Post Reply before completing the comment

 

Ohhh, okay. I thought it was some sort of new slang for "genuine" that I just now learned about lol.

 

Haha FWIW though I do believe Adam is a genuinely nice guy from the couple of times I’ve met him and listening to him on this podcast

 

Haven’t checked here in a while… Has it ever been confirmed that Fred is doing a run with tbs?

 

Not yet.

 

The times I met him he was the sweetest guy ever. Definitely deserves a lot more love from the fans.

 

Decided to go from New Against to 152.

New Again is rad. I’m pretty sure I haven’t heard this record since the year it came out. Louder Now was the massive big label release made for hits, this has some big time indie laid back vibes. Sounds like a product of its time without knowing the year it dropped I bet I would have been pretty close. Nothing mind blowing but it was a really enjoyable. Sink Into Me is a banger of a single. Do they not play any songs from this record live? Sink Into Me should get some love. Really liked Cut Me Up Jenny, Capital M E, Summer Man. New Against sounds like a stripped back New Again B Side. Valiant effort with Adam fully being in the drivers seat singing without such a strong tag team vocalist.

 

Dozens of us.

 

It’s largely ignored now with only Everything Must Go popping up once in awhile for a show or two.

I won’t comment on either liking or disliking that. lol

 

"New Against"? What song are you referring to? Just "New Again"?

 

Speaking of New Again(st?) b-sides, listen to the b-sides from this album. Some of this band’s best material ever, and I’m not even kidding about that.

 

Imagine not mentioning Swing

 

I really like "Everything Must Go" but it bums me out that the band treats it like the only song on New Again worth playing

 

lol it was an auto correct typo.

 

Song rules so hard

 

I know, i know. I made a post the other night about what a genuine guy Adam is by accidentally posting “He genu” before completing my thought so I can’t throw stones

 

They should at least play Didn't See That Coming. Feel like it'd go well as the acoustic number of the night

 

it’s their best album :)

 

Thoughts on HI, TW, 152?

 

I didn’t realise he got arrested for drunk driving. Kinda shitty.

 

I would kill for a dedicated New Again album thread that I would never have to visit
