Taking Back Sunday Band • Page 234

Wait...WHAT????

 

Well technically you’re right since Mike Sapone produced half of the album and Marc Hudson did the other half haha but I think Flicker Fade fits in perfectly amongst songs like All The Way, It Takes More, Better Homes and Nothing at All

 

Yeah idk, Flicker Fade feels like an unsuccessful attempt to recapture their old sound while the rest of the album is more of a progression over their old sound if that makes sense. Idk, hard to explain, but I've just never liked it

 

I weirdly noticed a while ago they have an obsession with the word "all". Haha. Happiness Is has "All the Way" and "Nothing at All." The chorus of Better Homes... is "All for nothing, all a waste" etc. They Don't Have Any Friends has "anything at all" a couple of times. Best Places has "said it all saying nothing at all" and you've already mentioned other song titles with it haha.

 

or all their lyrics referring to god / the bible / "holy"

 

Flicker Fade is probably TBS’ best song, period.

 

I can’t believe how many of their songs have the word “the”

Jk jk

 

I can’t believe how many of their songs are by taking back Sunday

 

Flicker Fade is one of my favorite post reunion songs

Happiness grew on me, but I still can’t stand Tidal Wave

 

thanks to this thread I rediscovered how good This Is All Now is... that bridge y'all

REPENT, REPENT

 

Their last three albums are their best.

 

You Know How I Do
180
Spin
Swing
Call Me In The Morning
It Takes More (this was a real tough one to choose. This song has just stuck with me recently. We Were Younger Then is a close 2nd)
Holy Water

Stoked to see all the We Were Younger Then love happening in this thread

 

If we are still rolling with favorites from each album,

Great Romances
Little Devotional
My Blue Heaven
Swing
Call Me In the Morning
Better Homes
Holy Water

 

Agreed on all fronts, although i will say that saying New Again is better than Louder Now is a pretty hot take and I back it 100%

 

Great Romances is my fav from TAYF for sure

 

Favorites from each record:

Timberwolves At New Jersey
180 By Summer
Miami
Summer, Man
El Paso
Beat Up Car
Death Wolf

It is so good and one of the best of that album. It's also the album with Better Homes, Flicker and Beat Up Car so it's already a stacked album.

Set Phasers to Stun
Miami
Catholic Knees
Best Places To Be A Mom
Beat Up Car
You Can't Look Back

 

Happiness Is def gets my vote for best post-reunion album. There are still things about it that bug me, mostly really small details/nitpick-y things, but overall it’s a very strong release.
