Taking Back Sunday Band • Page 237

But that means having to get through the beginning and middle! From those first few notes on I just can’t sit through any part of that song haha

 

Every time I listen to s/t I can acknowledge it’s not as bad my gut-reaction thoughts, there’s definitely some catchy stuff on there, but I still think only Best Places and IDFATLF make it to a Best of TBS playlist.

 

I really like Since You’re Gone, the bridge is a little wonky in context, but on its own it’s fine. If it weren’t for that it’d probably be my favorite on that record. I feel like that record is littered with things like that, good songs that have parts that don’t work or great parts in songs that don’t work.

 

The Union

 

This Is All Now is pretty easily my favorite on s/t

 

Sames

 

Did you all know Eddie's band, Fate's Got A Driver, released their EP?! I didnt!

Apple Music:

‎Fate's Got a Driver - EP by Fate's Got a Driver

 

So I decided on a whim today to to revisit the first The Color Fred album and the first Terrible Things album, and goddamn I forgot how good they were. To be fair, I didn’t give The Color Fred album a fair chances because I thought that was a stupid name and I found myself in the Fred sucks camp because of how messy his split with the band ended up being.
The Terrible Things album though, especially “Lullaby”...absolutely incredible.
Both albums made me wanna pick my guitar up more often and just practice endlessly in the hopes of becoming as good as Fred haha

 

That and Call Me In The Morning I think are easily the best tracks

 

S/T isn't that bad. I remember just liking it so much when it came out because I couldn't believe the original lineup was back together and actually releasing another album. Best Places to Be a Mom, This Is All Now, and Doesn't Feel a Thing Like Falling are my favorites. El Paso and Faith are pretty great listens too, and for some odd reason, I really dig Money even though I probably shouldn't. They took a huge step up with Happiness Is and Tidal Wave though, and those two are far superior.

 

top songs:

one-eighty by summer
you're so last summer
makedamnsure
cut me up jenny
best places to be a mom
better homes and gardens
you can't look back

 

Fred is so damn talented and such an underrated writer and guitarist.

 

Fred has been very active lately on social media. Go and follow his The Color Fred page on Facebook and he's posting videos almost every day.

 

I deactivated my facebook after new years :( I’ll have to keep checking his Twitter and IG i guess

 

my sentiments exactly

i enjoy the s/t a lot it's just very obvious it was overcooked in the studio. new again seems to have the opposite problem. love them both forever still

 

These guys need to announce the 2nd half of their US tour for Twenty so I can tell my best man whether or not to plan my bachelor party accordingly haha

 

Coming Tuesday

 

Finally got around to buying my tickets to both the 20 shows. Very excited.

 

I really hope they play Charlotte twice. I wanna see both LN and WYWTB v badly

 

I’m hoping Nashville gets two dates.

If they don’t I’m hiking to Atlanta if they get two

 

If Philly gets 2 dates in August, then my bachelor party is locked in

 

They’re overseas through July I think so August would be about right

 

Fuck yeah! Haha

 

At least until July 18.




Ideal: they play whatever date I go to on the 21st, my birthday
