New Again is their worst album and it's not even close. Every 2 years or so I listen to it and hope to maybe get something out of it but with every listen I am just more sure that it's really that bad. There are 2 good songs on it and that's it.

 

What a wild claim when their self titled album exists. That turd has like 2 or 3 decent songs lol

 

Word for word the most correct post on this website

 

S/T has one of the most iconic TBS songs with This Is All Now. Best Places To Be A Mom is like a trademark TBS song. Call Me In The Morning is a great closer. And all other songs on it are easily better than most songs on New Again.

 

Yeah, those are the 3 songs I would have called out on that record. I don't think any of them are fantastic though and the rest is pretty meh to terrible otherwise. Again, that's just my opinion though

 

I genuinely cannot think of a worse TBS song than You Got Me and It Doesn't Feel A Thing Like Falling imo

 

No love for El Paso, Faith or Sad Savior?

 

I don't dislike those songs but I don't think they're very good. The chorus of Faith makes me cringe too much

 

El Paso, Best Places and This is All Now are 3 fantastic tunes. Everything else is either forgettable at best or the worst songs in their catalog.

 

I liked the version of Best Places that they played live before the album came out

Which isn't even the same as the version they tracked on the self titled b sides iirc

 

Fair enough. I just cannot imagine someone actually being a fan of the band and thinking New Again is their best album. That just does not make sense to me. New Again is the obvious outlier in their discography. And by a big margin...

 

Oh, Where You Want To Be is their best album. Don't be mistaken by me there ;) lol

 

Everything Must Go makes the whole thing worth it.

 

This. And I don't get how Swing and Carpathia aren't some favorites for people.

 

I will defend Summer, Man and Swing forever.

Didn't See That Coming and Long Time Comin' are also neat.

New Again and S/T could both make really solid EPs

 

Swing and Summer, Man are the good songs I meant above. The rest is meh...

 

Lonely Lonely
Summer Man
Swing
Everything Must Go

Carpathia is ok

I'll never listen to any of the rest, baffles me that Cut Me Up Jenny isn't a unanimous worst song

 

Cut Me Up Jenny is fine

That's about all I can say about it lol

EDIT

I think Lonely Lonely is worse

 

I’ve shared my feelings on that… album, many many times over the years. I’ll leave it at that.

 

Every song on new again shits on the self titled.

that album is not good. El Paso is a horrible BN song.

 

I don't haaaate El Paso, but yes, it sounds like a worse version of that one BN song

 

Me after Thanksgiving dinner

 

Does “El Paso” sound almost like it could be on that one Brand New album, uh, Daisy or whatever? Sure, but like, it’s still a solid song. And also, listening to TBS makes me happy, while listening to BN isn’t a thing I’d ever do on purpose, so.

 

El Paso rockssss
