https://www.discogs.com/release/3859829-The-Academy-Is-Fast-Times-At-Barrington-High I had no idea these were selling so high.
New song is great, I love how it feels nostalgic without just being a retread. Excited for the album!
Truly an incredible record front to back. Hearing this single evoked the same “oh wow this is not what I expected and I love it.”
I'm only getting around to listening the new single now, it's so cute! Such a fun little listen, definitely more airy than some of their past stuff but not in a bad way.
Personally think this song is just bad…but I also feel like everything post Santi has been bad…their debut remains a classic no matter what though
So this is what TAI sounds like in 2026? I’m here for it. Great vibe and it belongs in movies and on Tv. I’m a big Fast Times fan. So it’ll be nice to hear how things will have evolved since then!
I’m also in the same camp that Almost Here is an absolute classic but everything after has been massively hit or miss for me.
kept thinking this was like a throwback thread without really reading closely...but oh shit lmao lets go
While I love the first three records, Fast Times is my personal favorite. The hooks are just so fucking huge on that one.
Gonna have to disagree on that one...and the lyrics are near cringe level bad Call on a Monday, come on a Tuesday They'll never know Pop off a cork for a Wednesday Play with me Thursday But she'll always be his girl
