Bayside - The Blue EP (March 17, 2023) • Page 2

The one thing I've really taken away from all of these new songs is that Anthony might sound better than ever

 

I was thinking this too. He really does sound great. I still think Go To Hell is one of the best Bayside songs in a while, and that’s saying something because Interrobang was awesome

 

Go to Hell and Good Advice are both top tier Bayside imo

 

They apparently can’t find a place for Good Advice in their most recent live set. Can’t imagine going to a Bayside show and them not playing that one.

 

i think these are their best songs in years tbh

 

Every Bayside Album Ranked

what do y'all think?

Every Bayside Album Ranked

 

That ranking lost me at "Skip It: It's Not As Depressing As it Sounds"

 

Telling people to skip Guardrail and Moceanu is grounds for being deported.

 

Cult at #4 is baffling

 

I always thought Cult felt like a best of album with only new songs. Like everything on that album was generically Bayside, albeit solid enough.

8. S&C
7. Shudder
6. Cult
5. Bayside
4. Vacancy
3. The Walking Wounded
2. Interrobang
1. Killing Time

 

Bayside
Killing Time
The Walking Wounded
Shudder
Interrobang
Sirens and Condolences
Vacancy
Cult

Top 6 are pretty much interchangeable for me on any given day. Vacancy is good, but a notch below all of those. Cult is fine, but pretty easily their weakest

 

We're really doing this?

 

The good news is that the article is originally from The Hard Times so take it as seriously as you’d like haha

 

always

 

Interrobang #1. Case closed.

 

Weren't we supposed to get a 3rd EP?

 

As a full-album fan, it hurt when Anthony conceded that they were basically doing the ep thing for the algorithm.

 

I've said it in here before but I absolutely hate the EP release model.

 

Hopefully the next thing we get from them is a full album release (with all new material). I know when they released the first EP, they talked about doing 3 EPs and then releasing all 10 songs as one album, but if they stick to that plan, some of these songs will have been out for nearly 2 years - so that no longer makes any sense.

When I saw them over the summer Anthony said after their summer shows they were going back to finish their record. I don't know if that meant a 3rd EP or a full album.

Either way, I think it's fair to expect some new music during the first quarter of 2024.

 

I’d still be fine with them putting togerher the 3 EPs if only to have them all consolidated under one release in my library.

and for rankings of course

 

Their Spotify Wrapped "Thank you fans" video (IDK what to call it - basically the short videos you see from the bands you listened to most) mentioned that they would have new music in 2024, but it didn't say in what form.

I don't mind the EP thing, but I do wish they came out in a quicker cadence.

 

My biggest problem with the EPs is that 66% of it is released before the actual release date. They've been so so good though. Really hoping for a full release in 2024

 

Coming soon: new lp featuring Ice Nine Kills on every song

 

Lol I just want more new songs…it’d be good to hear what their mindset is at this point in their career.
