its true. the carousel.

 

I'd pick a fight that Nunley's was much more than a carousel - though that's the most famous aspect - but I will ignore it in the interest of Nunley's love.

I still have a ticket from there:

 

His part in The One is actually really good and catchy as to my ears, I love it! That being said, I still think vocally Matt was absolutely killer, he also shined in most of their live recording I saw from that era - I would love to get some more of his projects in the future

 

Listening to S/T right now and would love to see them dust off Best Places To Be A Mom in the live set at some point

 

They opened with it at all of their holiday shows last year, it rips.

 

if jesus was on earth in disguise, i imagine it would be adam.

 

I think on record, he still sounds fine but I’ve been saying for a while he doesn’t sound great live. Hot take, but I think he has sounded worse than Adam live for a while.

 

Not a hot take, you’re absolutely right

 

I loved Matt in the band A Great Big Pile of Leaves, such a cool and fun vibe band

 

Everything Must Go truly is one of the absolute highlights of their entire discography goddamn

 

I feel like I just tuned into a radio station on GTA lol

 

Listening to Tidal Wave for the first time in years and its just as good as I remember. Might put on Happiness Is... next.

 

listened to TW yesterday and 'Homecoming' has been in my head since. great tune.

 

Death Wolf is one of their best openers for sure.

 

mark picked it for their artist picks 10"

imo they should play Winter Passing with John

 

He runs up and down the length of it and comes up front. Shaun is also mobile and will go onto the raised platform from time to time. Also interestingly with Adam back on the raised platform, John has moved a lot more during the set towards the center of the stage. They seem to be having a silly time with it

 

Hey that’s my best friend’s YouTube page! lol

 

Matt singing Set Phasers to Stun live in the acoustic version is one of my favorite versions. He nails it. Really liked his contribution.

 

Matt is the best vocalist to have ever been in TBS

 

best vocalist/worst album/mid cover art

 

I just...don't know how New Again could be ranked below the self-titled.

Outside of Best Places to Be a Mom, it's quite a dud for me and a huge disappointment for John and Shaun's return album. Thankfully they followed it up with Happiness Is, which rips for the most part.

 

For me, it's because it was the biggest disappointment in the entire discography (personally). I remember exactly where I was when I downloaded the leak (the living room of my buddy's house - the same house where I torrented Team America and got a letter sent to his parents house from their ISP). Ran through it and was just...bummed. No desire to revisit it really.

S/T had the excitement of john and shawn. Sure that album had "Doesn't Feel a Thing Like Falling" but it also had "Since You're Gone" and "El Paso."

 

It Doesn't Feel A Thing Like Falling slaps, I dont get the hate. Feels like a Louder Now B side.

 

Ranking self-titled over New Again is fucking wild to me, lol. You do you, but anyone with those tastes is simply listening to a different Taking Back Sunday than I am.
