Taking Back Sunday Band • Page 365

I want new music from them, the scene they came from is reinvigorated at the moment I just know they could drop a killer career best record.

 

So dumb lol cmon there is so much good pre Fred content to pull from. Put the whole demo on, one of the acoustic shows, a couple other live versions, Sal, YOD, and that’s before you even get to the songs they were playing live in between albums. Must be saving it for TAYF 25

 

I can only assume the lack of alternate/bonus tracks is so it all fits on a single LP but wow what a boring re-release.

 

Yea, giant “who cares?” for this.

 

I don't have this on vinyl, but I'd want the original artwork. So even this is a no-go for me.

 

these also arent even unreleased demos, ive had that Great Romances demo for like 15 years since the age of limewire lol

Happiness is… and Tidal Wave are their best records.

 

WYWTB
Happiness
Louder Now
TAYF
TW
New Again
S/T

 

Doesn’t sound too too different from the final version huh

 

It was the version on my burned copy of TAYF back in 2004. Still have it in my car haha

 

I feel like I do this once a year in this thread but that’s okay - I’ve made my peace with it:

New Again
WYWTB
Louder Now
TAYF
Happiness
TW
S/T

 

Feel like it's a tall task to find an album that was more hyped and anticipated in this scene—and then promptly disappointed immensely—than Self-Titled did.

 

It’s a classic cautionary tale of “be careful what you wish for..”



It was funny to see people who hated New Again try to argue that S/T was still better lol

 

All The Way is stuck in my head at least once a month.

 

Agreed. I haven't seen another band from that scene age so gracefully.

 

hoping there's more to this release than just a vinyl with a few more demos.

 

Would take the good half of s/t over the 4 or 5 good songs on New Again every day of the week

Wouldn't change Nolan coming back in the band either since I am also in the "last two albums are their best" camp

 

Self titled is much better than New Again. But, to be fair, that’s not saying much when the bar is that low.

 

WYWTB
LN
TW
TAYF
HI
S/T
NA

 

I also enjoy the highs of S/T much more than NA. NA is probably a little more cohesive but I like the songs of S/T more.

S/T has a few clunkers that definitely should have been replaced by some of the demos that they released at the time. Macky Sasser, Semi-Automatic, You Should Have Waited, etc

 

there are more songs that i like on new again and louder now than on any of their last 3 albums

 

They’re both good
