Taking Back Sunday - Tidal Wave (September 16, 2016) Album • Page 92

Self Titled is probably their weakest album. I think it comes down to a combo of them trying to figure out how to write together again and picking the wrong producer in Eric Valentine. Still, there are some really good tracks on it.

 

I prefer s/t to Tidal Wave

 

Louder Now is their worst

And half the songs on s/t are career highs and the rest are decent

 

Talking about S/T is a good time bring up how much I dislike Faith, it's such a boring track. I've seen them 3 times since Happiness Is came out and that is the only track they play from S/T (besides one time they played You Got Me which was nice). Why is that the staple instead of El Paso or Best Places?

 

I agree with you on this, but we about to get lit up because of this!

 

Faith is a really fun live song, great singalong chorus with a ton of energy

 

yeah I like it, it's really catchy

 

Faith is the worst song on this Soundtrack too
Transformers: Dark of the Moon – The Album - Wikipedia

 

faith might be the worst song they ever wrote. seems like a lame ass attempt to cash in on another makedamnsure that is nowhere near as clever or good as the first single

 

I think self-titled is their third or fourth best.

 

bullshit

 

u

 

I dunno, I looked at the list and there are a lot of great songs on there. Esp the LP, Skillet and Staind song.

 

'This is All Now' and 'Sad Savior' are two of my favorite TBS tracks. I think the record is somewhat uneven; they're better when they're slow and heavier than when they try to be upbeat. Which was the first I'd felt that way about the band, ever.

Really good record all around, but not near as good as their best.

 

Try my top 5 I guess.

Timberwolves at New Jersey
Set Phasers To Stun
My Blue Heaven
This Is All Now
It Takes More

 

My top five is probably:

180
You Know How I Do
Holy Water
...Slowdance
We Were Younger Then

The top three is pretty concrete but the other two could change tomorrow in all honesty.

 

My Blue Heaven deserves some love.

Edit: I see it on a couple lists...should’ve read through this more.

 

Yea, I don't understand why Faith is a staple on their setlist. There are so many better songs they could play.

 

umm...

 

This Is All Now is one of my favorite S/T tracks. Seeing it live really helped too - At the Cleveland date (maybe he did this everywhere) Adam performed most of the song in the back of the room and that was pretty great

 

I love that song and am bummed I never saw it live

 

I agree. It’s on the lower end of their songs for me discography wise but damn if it doesn’t sound great live

 

Faith is fine and inoffensive but I agree it’s a weird choice for a set staple. When I listen thru s/t I’m reminded it’s not that bad but only Doesn’t Feel a Thing Like Falling and Best Places are in the top 75% of their discog. Maybe call me in the morning too; their acoustic songs usually bore me and I think it’s one of the better ones.

Top 10 bc 5s too hard
Ghost Man
180
Decade
Swing
EMG
They don’t have any friends
Better homes
We were younger then
All excess
Fences/you can’t look back

Other takes:
-my list needs more WYWTB
-Honorable mentions to spin, Miami Miami Miami every hour on the hour
-Brooklyn and sleep are both top tier


You just have to trust me whoever I was then I can’t ever be again

 

Because this thread has been showing Tidal Wave and TBS love, I changed my profile pic since I've been jamming allllllll day to them. Thanks everyone.

 

FENCES. YESSSS!!!
