#1 LITSOS #2 DTGL #3 TOCS i haven't listened to the rest. i'll check out Disambiguation and Erase Me later today.
Both are so different from each other, and the other three you have heard, so report back with what you thought!
LITSOS DTGL TOCS DISAM. I haven't listened to Changing in at least 10 years, probably more, and I never even heard of the other one.
Man you have impeccable taste all around homie! And I agree ao much on TOCS. Aside from "A Boy Brushed Red..." for the funnies everything on there is so cringe.
I still dig a few of the songs off TOCS. Mainly the ones that meant a lot to me when I was younger (Boy Brushed Red, Reinventing Your Exit, and Dangerous Business). As a whole, the album aged poorly in my opinion but those three are still bangers.
i don’t think any song on that record sucks but my hot take is reinventing is easily the suckiest. The heavy and pop don’t mesh well at all.
I remember someone on AbsolutePunk mocking TOCS as “TBS with breakdowns”. Can’t deny the album’s influence, but yeah, it’s aged about as poorly as Tell All Your Friends at this point.
Define the Great Line for me, but I feel like I need to revisit Lost in the Sound of Separation and Disambiguation. Been quite a while since I've listened to either of them. And even though I still enjoy elements of They're Only Chasing Safety I have to agree that that album doesn't hold up nearly as well as I would have hoped.
Being a Tampa native and seeing them grow over the years DTGL still holds a very special place for me but Disambiguation is up there. I’ve learned to really appreciate LITSOS but I rarely return to TOCS.
1.DTGL 2.TOCS (only because I enjoy more songs on it than LITSOS, but LITSOS admittedly has one or two songs better than the entirety of TOCS) 3. LITSOS 4. Erase Me 5. Disambiguation (back and forth between this being above Erase Me, hard choice) Couldn't care less about the others
Not a fan of Beartooth, but this surprise UnderOath performance around 4:38 is perfection. Gotta love The Blue Note starting to play and nobody in the crowd recognizing it
For me it's: 1. LITSOS 2. Disambiguation 3. Erase Me 4. Define The Great Line 5. They're Only Chasing Safety 6. The Changing of Times 7. Act of Depression 8. Cries of the Past
Never knew anything about Beartooth other than that they exist. They sounded good here though, I may check them out. Thanks for sharing, that was really cool!
They got progressively better up to Ø. That record and LITSOS are amazing. Still need to get around to Erase Me
Forgot to mention that I’m glad TOCS exists because if we didn’t have “It’s Dangerous Business...” there wouldn’t be “P.O.S. Is Ruining My Life” as we know it, and the world is undoubtedly a better place with that song.
