The Ataris Band • Page 9

honestly I think so long astoria is the worst one. too safe and corny at points.

 

my thoughts on that one. Top 3 pop punk album of all time on my list

 

I feel like everyone disliked Welcome the Night because it wasn’t what they expected compared to that traditional Ataris sound. I feel like those who were more open minded to the songwriting shift ended up more pleased with it. I love that album.

 

“not capable of love” is a jam.

 

Welcome The Night is good, So Long Astoria is great, and I could never get into their other stuff other than All Souls' Day, but I do need to give it another shot

 

I just spat my coffee out.

 

Blues Skies, Broken Hearts... is the only other record of theirs that even comes close to So Long, Astoria. Come on!

EDIT:
Also, I'm jamming So Long, Astoria right now and can confirm it rocks.

 

I love when this thread periodically lights up with Welcome the Night love. I know it may not be Kris' best, but I happen to enjoy it immensely.

 

End is Forever absolutely blew my 14 year old mind. I think you can make an argument for it being best.

 

Always my fav from them. Nothing comes close IMO.

 

Not Capable of Love, New Year's Day, Whatever Lies Will Help You Rest. All certified bangers.

 

Take You Need A Hug and Teenage Riot off and you got a solid case for this argument. Those two lower the album compared to Blue Skies.

 

They changed the artwork for the Welcome the Night B-Sides to the original album artwork. I totally forgot this even existed.

 

I was having trouble sleeping and for some reason started thinking about the worst people I've encountered online. I'm sort of cursed to remember things in too much detail. Anyhow, I got to googling and found something incredible but had absolutely no one to share it with.
This is for you old AMBers who are still around

Who was this person on the amb?

 

I thiiiiiink his name on the message board was just Chabot? sounds familiar to me at least.

 

I think I remember that now. I cant even remember what my user name was

 

mine was bradsonemanband. super original.

 

I think I was el_troyo_11 on the The AMB and Fourchordwonder on the Yellowcard board (and then AbsolutePunk as well). I don't think I posted much on the AMB though.

 

I was big on the amb. think my names were saves the dave and then nny

 

Kris’s rent must be almost due so if you want more lyric sheets…

 

He’s never going to stop milking those albums.

 

Why should he?

 

I'd go for a lyric sheet in a non-auction option. SLA meant a ton to me in 2003.

 

I tossed a bid on one for fun. Got outbid pretty fast wanted SLA.
