I'm glad to not be a person that thinks New Again is better than Tidal Wave

 

I don't have a personal concrete ranking of every TBS album, but I do feel very strongly that WYWTB is the top and self-titled is the bottom. Any ranking moving either of those too far from their respective extremes just feels off to me.

 

yeah I definitely do not like or condone New Again but it's Stairway to Heaven compared to the Self Titled.

 

I think the bad stuff on both New Again and self titled is mostly equally bad. Self titled just has a more songs I like

 

New Again songs I like:

New Again
Sink Into Me
Cut Me Up Jenny
Carpathia
Everything Must Go


Tidal Wave songs I like:

Death Wolf
You Can't Look Back
Call Come Running
Holy Water


Self Titled songs I like:

El Paso
Faith
Best Places to Be a Mom
Who Are You Anyway?
It Doesn't Feel A Thing Like Falling


Sooooo I guess technically I like New Again and Self Titled equally, which is more than Tidal Wave.

 

Lol 3 New Again songs I can't stand. Everything Must Go is elite obv

 

condone, lol got me to chuckle

 

Any self titled list without This Is All Now is null and void sadly

 

I would take "El Paso" and "Flicker Fade" over any other TBS song released from 2009 onward.

 

I’ve been thinking about getting a New Again tattoo for a while now. Swing is nowhere near my favorite TBS song, but I like the lyric “passion over consequence”.

Envisioning a traditional style tattoo with a knife or sword with a banner and “passion over consequence” wrapping around it.

 

I love the idea of someone close to the band monitoring this thread every so often.

Reporting back to management and the band:

"Other topics come and go, but they've been arguing about New Again for roughly 4000 posts"

 

If they judged anything off this thread they would've done a New Again anniversary tour so that's not true

 

Tidal Wave has about three songs I usually skip (I Felt It Too, Middle Of It All, We Don't Go In There), but that opening run from "Death Wolf" through to "All Excess" is so good that I could never end up putting it below New Again or the self-titled. Plus it has Holy Water, which is my favorite reunion track. Tidal Wave also has a cohesiveness that New Again and self-titled don't really have. So even those songs that I sometimes skip still at least feel like they fit the themes and style of the album.

 

If TBS did a New Again anniversary tour where they only played in peoples backyards, would you go?

 

Honestly yea. That sounds awesome.

 

They certainly wouldn't need a bigger capacity than that

 

There are no good TBS albums

 

It’s illegal now for you to come to Long Island for saying this.

 

why would I ever want to go there?

 

No. Too many songs I hate to get to the second portion of the set. Not worth it to me.

 

Cut Me Up Jenny is the only NA song I skip occasionally because of that high pitch shriek Adam does, but I don't outright hate it

 

The reverend carnival barker Adam Lazzara can shriek at me as much as he wants.

 

The hand motions here are killing me lmao. Also I don't understand why John wears the guitar strap like that.

Sounds pretty good though compared to some of the other videos floating around from the tour

 

cut me up jenny fucking sucks and you can write that on my gravestone

 

New again is bad. But don’t put it on my gravestone. None of my friends would understand and I wouldn’t want that on it anyway.
