Shape Shift with me is my 3rd favourite lol

 

I was so disappointed in shape shift

 

Shape Shift is solid but certainly not better than the 3 previous albums to me

I kinda hate "Norse Truth" and "Pro Vision L3"

Solo album is just okay as well

Hoping next album is terrific

 

Shape Shift rules hard

 

White Crosses is my favorite of theirs. Pretty sure that is a minority opinion and I'm ok with it

 

WC is easily my favorite as well

 

TDB > Clarity > Shape Shift is my top 3

 

I’m flying to LA in October for their full album shows bc, yes I truly love the early albums, but Clarity —> TDB is a top five album run for me, and I am so fucking pumped. Hearing them all in full is gonna be a trip, and I am riding that wave.

 

I love Against Me! But it’s hard to pick a favorite because they’re all so different and mean different things to me.

 

I wasn't big on White Crosses when it was first released but that's their album I end up going back to most often now

 

Bumping this thread to talk about “Have Mercy” because I listened to it for the first time in a little while and it’s easily a top 10 TGA song. Everything about it is haunting and perfect.

 

Good song nowhere near top ten. I do appreciate the thread bump though

 

Have Mercy is 100% top ten

 

I don't have a definitive personal ranking of their best songs, but "Have Mercy" for me is in the running for their best song.

 

Have Mercy is perfect.

 

Disagree on "Have Mercy." I don't hate it, but wouldn't put it in the top ten (or 20) of my favorite/best TGA songs. I will say that it sounds better live than the studio version, but I'm probably in the minority there.

 

Have Mercy is up there for me and absolutely stunning.

 

Have Mercy is great, but there is a lot of greatness there to pick from. Excited for a new record from Brian.

 

I know the Bruce comparisons were played out long ago, but anyone else ever feel like this song was the template for the Horrible Crowes sound? Sorta? Either way it totally reminds me of that vibe and I'd love to hear Brian cover this one.

 

Looks like me and you are the only ones on the "Have Mercy is good but not top ten TGA song" island.

 

I don't know if it makes my top 10 or not, but def in that 10-15 range. I don't listen to it as much since it isn't on Spotify so I need to put "effort" in to go listen ... but every time I do I remember how much I love it.

 

I like "Have Mercy" a lot, but it's probably not in my top 25 Brian songs.

 

I always contend that song wasn't finished when they recorded it, and it was perfected live on stage.

 

Have Mercy is awesome but it's so much better live. The studio version is just missing "something".

 

Factoring in his solo and Horrible Crowes work, I agree that it’s not a top 10 song (maybe top 15 or 20 for me), but in terms of only TGA songs, it’s up there.
