Anthony Green and The High and Driving Band - Boom. Done. (July 22, 2022) Album • Page 21

No. Full collapse and tell all your friends had been out for 1-2 years already and had much wider success to lay the blueprint for the singing and screaming fad that followed in emo music.

 

Juturna

I love translating the name, one of the best eps ever but come on.. Juturna is such a massive debut!

 

I think I like Juturna more than OLG, TTN never did anything for me. Always found Saosin boring.

 

Self titled is better than TTN

 

100% Juturna over both TTN and OLG

 

never was a self titled fan

 

Self titled sucks, Cove was not a good singer

 

was waiting for this.

 

Truth is the truth!! Started off as a pale Anthony imitation then when he came into his own, turns out his own want good either. Seems like a really amazing dude though, only have heard great things about him as a person

 

Steve's posts still suck, Steve is not a good poster.

 

He sounds fine on record lol, self titled is a great album

 

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

Has anyone been brave enough and dumb enough to rank every Anthony-related album? Even the thought make my head spin, but this is chorus...

 

it would be easy

 

It's like, 30 albums or something, very difficult

 

Easy part is top 3 being some combo of TTN, Juturna, OLG

 

@sophos34 Thursday came first but I would take Anthony’s worst songs over tone Geoff’s best any day.

 

we were talking about influence, not your personal taste (thursday and circa are like, 2 of my top 3 favorite bands ever) and way more people heard full collapse than heard TTN. people on this website way overstate the reach that EP had outside of scene circles. no one knew who saosin even was until you're not alone hit alt radio. plus theres no way saosin wasnt directly influenced by thursday lol every scene band on earth cited them as an influence after FC

 

Many bands that surpassed or matched Saosin’s popularity right after TTN in 03 cite it as influence. Outside of Thursday, I would say the only other band really garnering a following on their own with that sound then was FFTL.

Not that any of these bands really hold weight from an influential or popular standpoint now, but the boom from 04 onward with bands like Chiodos, Receiving End Of Sirens, Boys Night Out, Scary Kids, Emery, Silverstein and many others cited it as such or just have very obvious influence by it.

But not gonna say that its just TTN. Very much accumulative of all of those monumental releases at that time from bands starting off (Saosin - TTN, FFTL - Aesthetic, Thursday - Full Collapse, The Used S/T)

 

Also I never caught Saosin live with Cove. Was it really bad?

 

Thursday was def seminal

how big was their fan base back then?

 

someone also mentioned TBS

i always thought they blew up with their 2nd MUCH better album

 

TAYF was pretty huge. it reached my ears in the midwest as a 10 year old. certainly bigger than TTN

 

I’d keep juturna because it’s maybe my favorite record ever.

But TTN was fucking massive when it came out. Atleast in California. Super influential and buzz worthy. Also still bangs.

juturna has held up better and benefits from the lack of screaming / intelligible lyrics (mostly)

 

no one in TBS, Thursday, Coheed etc are as consistent of songwriters as Anthony is and I would choose Translating the Name over some artists entire discographies…except circa. maybe. i really love that ep.
