152 is two today. my favourite TBS album since new again and probably a top 10 record in general.

 

2 years is fucking crazy

 

Keep Going has the best bridge and it’s not even close

 

Weirdly, to me it feels like that album just came out, but feels like a decade since Mark was in the band despite being on that record lol

 

October 2023 seems like five years ago for me and January 2025 seems like two years ago. So much has happened since...

 

152 is one of those late-period records in a band's career that has absolutely no business being as good as it is. And I am also a massive Tidal Wave defender as well, so I was even more pleasantly surprised that they could still pull it off following that one.

 

Yea that’s the thing about 152, it just felt so refreshing for the band. I also like Tidal Wave and think TBS in general has never made the same record twice. But it sounds like both a call back and something completely new for them. Almost like a debut record with that youthful creative energy.

 

I'm sure things have soured a little now, post-everything that happened with Mark, but I also really liked the energy surrounding the 152 release. They did a couple of smaller shows where they played it in its entirety, and it seemed like they were really excited about it. It really felt like they were finally doing something to back up the constant "we don't want to be a nostalgia band" statements.

 

They did an entire tour for Tidal Wave too where they played smaller than usual venues and played TW front to back.

 

Exactly. I think it's the outro on Juice 2 Me where you could imagine exactly how they would've done it on like the self titled album, but they did something that sounds way fresher

 

Jesus, Adam lost a ton of weight. He’s as thin as he was during the early years.

 

After watching that interview, Adam's a pretty handsome dork.

 

always been a good lookin' fella.

 

It’s giving Evan Dando from the Lemonheads

 

I can't remember the last time I listened to Louder Now in full. I am doing so right now and it mostly rules. I'm on "I'll Let You Live" right now, which isn't one of my favorites, but overall, this has been really enjoyable.

 

A shockingly atrocious post.

 

Man, that tour was fun too. I saw them at Revolution on Long Island (which I don't even think is there anymore). Crazy to think that that was nearly ten years ago at this point.

 

Yeah I'll Let You Live is a top 3 song on LN for me. Though it wasn't in the beginning

 

The ones I saved are the ones I liked most on "first listen"

 

Correct.

 

dont edit his posts to fit your own crooked narrative!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I bought tickets for night 1 of their Long Island holiday shows and am now realizing I have a work event that night. Anyone with night 2 tickets who'd like to swap? Or anyone wanna just buy my night 1 tickets?

 

Lmao yeah I mean most of WYWTB tops LN for me to be completely honest

 

i can't even remember most of what louder now sounds like.
