I need to revisit Blue. I haven't listened to that record in years.

 

I don’t think he produced that record

 

"Since You're Gone" has the potential to be a great song, but the chorus is pretty lame IMO and the way Adam sings "I'M SAHHHHRRRRAAAYYYY! I'M SAHHHHRAAAYYY!" always bothered me for some reason.

 

I think you're right. According to Wikipedia, production was mainly credited toward Stephen Jenkins and Arion Salazar (the bassist).

 

cOME BAAAAAHHHHHCCCCCKKKKK

 

song is so bad lol

 

I like Self Titled more than all of the albums preceding it by a little bit. Obviously there are higher highs before, TBS played a pretty mean singles game through New Again. Happiness Is and Tidal Wave are my two favorite by a longshot though.

 

All this talk about s/t not being terrible is weirding me out. Only songs worth returning to are falling and best places. Some of the others are fine but there are 60 better TBS songs lol

 

Probably an unpopular opinion, but here it goes. Best Places To Be A Mom is the most overrated song in their catalog.

It's another example of how the original version (the live debut) was probably much better than the more watered down final version.

 

Most overrated for me is cute without the e. I love the song but it’s maybe middle tier TBS for me.

 

20 20 is most overrated since I think it gets a decent amount of love but totally blows imo. Tayf is also a little overrated as a whole because it's got some seriously weak parts

 

Blue Channel used to be my least favorite in TAYF, but I finally listened to the lyrics one day and it really did capture that broken angry teenager feeling when a significant other cheats on you...as juvinile as it is, I love the bridge/outro. Full dslcosure, I had an ex that cheated on me and had pictures of me on her bedroom mirror, so the lyrics do really touch a part of my past haha

 

20/20 is GARBAGE.

 

oh whoops sorry, idk why i assume valentine produced blue

 

twenty twenty is a good song idk why it inspires so much ire

 

replace "twenty twenty" with "up against" or "miami" and my point still stands

 

They're all fine, middle of the road songs from their worst album

 

None of those songs are good.

 

Twenty Twenty is only made worse by its johnny cash folsom prison recreation music video. It’s an otherwise mediocre song.

 

To Twenty Twenty’s credit, Fred’s vocal harmony and “dollar signs” line in the chorus are great

 

Twenty Twenty Take 2 demo is so good though.

 

Easy mistake to make, his production makes me feel blue.

 

Lol I didn't know it had a video!

 

Link?

 

It does and it’s weird watching middle aged actors playing folsom prisoners rocking out to the song.
