Saosin - Along The Shadow (May 20, 2016) Album • Page 100

gonna have to accept a live album, re-recording, and new cove album first

 

let a man dream

 

Silver String is still a banger and it’s the closest to the classic EP era Saosin.

 

secret meaning is the track

 

Ideology is my pick, always thought it was the one track that brought back the TTN vibe unvarnished.

 

Ideology is the best song from the album. Hits all the right spots for me

 

Along the Shadow of Man would like a word with all of you.

 

A lot of great songs on that album, none of it really feels like TTN.

 

Most of it does to me lol, I don’t feel like they’re that different stylistically? Much closer to that release than to S/T or the second album at least, except for the mellower/slower songs that do build on the latter

 

agree ATS is just actually different than TTN

if I had to choose a post TTN track that sounded closest to TTN, it would be Sleepers

 

ttn>isosg>ats>beetle

2024 how I’m feeling

 

This is correct.

 

count back from ten is my fav, but its really drinking from the fountain if that counts

 

Stutter, Second Guesses and Along the Shadow are my favorite songs on ATS and it isn't even close.

 

My top 3 from ATS would be Ideology is Theft, Second Guesses, and Control and the Urge to Pray

I’ve found myself very into The Stutter Says A Lot over the last year too

 

Hard choices because I love every single song so so much but right now it’d be:

- Ideology Is Theft, which felt like the most classic Saosin song with a couple twists. Anthony’s high note in the bridge gives me goosebumps every single time, such a neatly written melody.
- Old Friends, the sludgy/post metal guitar work is my catnip and I love the back and forth with the vocals and layered screams in the background. Anthony was cooking on this one.
- The Secret Meaning of Freedom, never expected to hear something this punky from them back then and this still goes so hard. Again, I get goosebumps when Anthony throws those high pitched screams in the bridge.

 

Old Friends is sick. Sore Distress is very good too

 

I almost never see it get mentioned, but it’s “Illusion & Control” for me. That outro is just insane.

 

secret meaning, silver string, drinking from the fountain, and maybe sore distress

I could completely leave the rest personally

 

Ideology Is Theft, Second Guesses, Count Back from Ten, Secret Meaning, Control and the Urge and Drinking From the Fountain are the ones I love on there.

 

Illusion, Silver String, Counting, Ideology, and Racing are tops for me. Don’t really like second guesses or stutter much at all.

 

Is this a remaster of the ST I wonder? I saw some bits of Beau remixing old tracks recently.

(and vinyl to accompany?)

 

Self titled is literally perfect in my eyes. Such an important album to me growing up. I spin it like once a week
