Taking Back Sunday Band • Page 233

I like “Who Are You Anyway?” But I do remember them posting studio footage of Adam dancing to a demo of that song and thinking “oh wow, this song is gonna rule!” Then when I heard it, the drum pattern sounded totally different and i remember thinking “eh, this isn’t as great as thought it was gonna be”. But over time I grew to love it

 

lol that's demos for ya. I go through that with every song I've ever written. the final version always feels off until it doesn't.
it's our dumb lizard brains hating change.

 

Of the two though, Stood A Chance is a better song and the album needed more of an “upbeat” sounding single compared to Flicker Fade and Better Homes and Gardens.

 

What's everyone's favorite song(s) from each album respectively? Mine are probably

- Ghost Man on Third
- One-Eighty By Summer (The Union is a pretty close 2nd)
- Spin (I'll Let You live is also a close one..)
- Carpathia or EMG
- Either Money or Call Me In The Morning
- Beat Up Car? They Don't Have Any Friends? Better Homes and Gardens? We Were Younger Then? Idk, they're all pretty great
- Homecoming and You Can't Look Back

 

Disagree, Stood a Chance and Flicker Fade are my most skipped songs on there haha

Flicker Fade sounds like someone produced it totally separately from the rest of the album to me. Idk, it doesn't fit very well

 

Woah, what song is All Ready to Go? Literally have never heard this one, guessing it's a b-side?

EDIT

I've never heard of A Song For Dan either. Wow I'm behind heh. I reaally like this one. Not huge into All Ready To Go though

 

Timberwolves at New Jersey
Set Phasers To Stun
My Blue Heaven
Swing
This Is All Now
All The Way
All Excess

Lol at "All" being in each of my last three album favorites

 

We Were Younger Then is the best song since the reunion and probably a top 3 TBS song

 

I really like how All Excess sounds overall but the "Oh yeah oh yeah alright. I felt dirty and I didn't know why" line just makes me cringe for some reason. The rest of it is a very solid track

 

You Know How I do

Little Devotional (180 is a verrry close 2nd though)

My Blue Heaven

EMG (Carpathia is a close 2nd though)

Best Places (“....Falling” and CMITM are close 2nds)

We Were Younger Then (this was hard! Gardens, Flicker Fade, It takes More and All the Way are all verrry close 2nd))

Call Come Running (Death Wolf, I Felt It Too and YCLB are all close 2nd)

 

All The Way is a home run of a song, honestly. I remember hearing that song for the first time and thinking “wow, okay I’m fully on board with this album now”

 

Haha right? I didn't think Happiness Is would be so hard to nail down a favorite until I started scrolling through it

You have some really solid choices there aside from Little Devotional and Falling

 

It’s a real shame they’ve never played it before. That song would be a hell of a main set closer before the encore

 

Forgot about Timberwolves, that was my favorite song for a very long time. My friend and I actually made a really shitty band that lasted like 2 days called Timberwolves back in highschool lol.

 

I’ll stan for Little Devotional until i fucking die hahahaha

 

Yup. I know what you mean. The chorus was super dance-like. I was bummed too.

 

Haha totally. After a while I was like, “okay, the drumming is pretty dope. Mark’s killing it, per usual”

 

ghost man on third
little devotional or number five with a bullet, don't make me choose
miami, with a write-in vote for brooklyn
everything must go!!!!
best places to be a mom!!!!!!
it takes more!!!!!!!!!!
DEATH WOLF

 

Gotta say this is the best and most fun thread on this site. Always engaging talk with no hyperbole and always civil even though opinions are 180 from eachother. Just had to shout it out.

Now back to how New Again is better than TAYF and Louder Now.

 

Haha I’ll give it another try. I literally haven’t listened to it since the week it was released, but honestly probably not since release day...

 

other brad: def revisit tidal wave

 

Blue Channel
A Decade Under the Influence
Spin
Everything Must Go
Best Places to be Mommy
Flicker Fade
You Can't Look Back

So good. Throw that set on an EP and watch it go platinum.

 

I think it only says good things about a band when people's favorites and dislikes range so wildly

 

I listened to a few TW songs walking to and back from the post office just now. Got 4 songs in. “Death Wolf” is cool. By the 4th track I realized why I never come back to this... sorry guys. I only like the first half of this band’s discography, and then some later songs here and there.

 

First 4 are def the best off that album, so if those didn't grab you I agree there's no chance in going on.
