Taking Back Sunday - 152 (October 27, 2023) Album • Page 49

Damn, they sound really good. Adam especially sounds great. I don't think John sounds as bad as some of you are making him out to be. Don't get me wrong, some of his line delivery is off, but overall I think he sounds solid. It can't be easy to maintain your voice when half of what you're signing is yelling/shouting. He crushed the ending of Decade.

 

He can and will and has played freebird at shows because people yell it the second he picks up a guitar

 

It's true. I was at their 20-year show and was that asshole who yelled Freebird and he started playing it. I've never yelled it again since.

 

Decade was literally his worst vocal performance in that entire set haha

 

I said the ending, not the whole song.

 

I still disagree with you

 

wow... "keep going" live... might have to buy some resale tickets to their bowery show to see this in person

 

lol they talk about blink during the set

 

john sounded fine btw!!!!

 

Watching this performance, I wanna give a quick shout out to Nathan. Dude’s been touring with them since John & Shaun came back, and he’s always on point with the harmonies, and absolutely rips Fred’s solos when called for.

 

I'm definitely coming around on 152. I wasn't a fan fresh out of the gate, but I find myself revisiting Quit Trying and The Stranger constantly.

 

I cannot wait to see Adam do his dance/boot stomp to Lightbringer if they play it live.

“You wore your hair back…”

 

Damn, near zero chance I win tickets to this. Pretty small DC club (terrible sound, though, unfortunately).

 

This is the most I’ve been enamored with a TBS album.

 

Looks like he got a songwriting credit on Quit Trying as well, so he's an official contributor now too!

 

Just out of curiosity, does Eddie get some sort of cut of sales as a founding member?

 

This sounds about right. I only listened once when it came out and haven't gone back. That "samey" is literally how id describe the first part of the second half (not sure if our tracks are exact, but relatively close). It was a different record, for sure, and good, but not much for me....except S'old, which is very close to what drew me to the band in the first place. I like how John said that the song Sailing (i forget the artist, tho I'm more familiar with the N'SYNC remake anyway) was influencial on this record.

 

Take it back to Sunday? Lol (sorry if someone already beat me to this)

 

This album is full of ear worms. Was so-so on it last week but lyrics and melodies kept creeping in, now I’ve been playing it on repeat.

 

Ew, I do not want worms in my music

 

Wtf at how good that livestream was

Lightbringer live made me want it to be a hit for them so bad

 

No top 50 for TBS, 50th was 15k, not sure their sales.

Not real shocking, all these bands that have been around forever like Yellowcard, NFG, Trio, feel like they always seem to be around like 8k or so from what I've noticed

 

i can't get enough of this album

 

The livestream makes me really wanna see this band live on this album cycle, asap. Just great vibes all around.
