Taking Back Sunday Band • Page 485

Before 152, I was confident TBS could never make an interesting album again and they'd be forever stuck as a nostalgia project. Easily the biggest surprise in their entire discography. It's a home run.

 

I really hope they hear and feel (and financially are benefitting from) all the love for 152

Not sure how sales are but I was pleasantly surprised by how much more energy and passion was in the new songs when they played them on the most recent tour. They all sounded the best on the new stuff. Im just already looking forward to new music from them again and it hasn't felt like this since WYWTB for me.

 

When I thanked them at the meet and greet for 152, Adam seemed as genuinely appreciative as I've seen anyone, it was awesome.

 

Curb gifs are the best gifs.

 

Finally…someone thanked a goddamn band!

 

I didn't remember this being the case (definitely was not with my circle of friends), so decided to read the Wikipedia page for the album to see some quotes from critics, and I wanna fight all of these dorks. WYWTB ruled then and rules now.

 

YUP, the majority of long timers from AP.net dragged it too. It was not very popular to like or call it the better of the two albums.

Such a great album though, I go back to it the most of all their stuff.

 

Definitely not a sophomore slump but a comeback of that year.

 

when WYWTB came out, i remember me and my circle of friends instantly loving it. then eventually i went online to see the bigger response and people were constantly shitting on that album and from there i stayed silent on admitting i liked it, lmao.

 

I feel like people mostly liked WYWTB when it came out? It was definitely seen as not as good overall (which it isn’t lol) but there were a lot of positive feelings for the best songs on it.

 

It was pretty divisive in AP from what I recall.

 

WYWTB is their best album by a mile

 

Should we all rank or?

 

Nah.

 

Don’t tempt me with a good time

 

First TBS album I bought was a compilation from Walmart around the time of Louder Now which, at the time, I didn’t realize was a compilation. Thought the whole thing was great. Then as I got more familiar with the rest of the songs from each album I realized WYWTB was so much better. Outside of ghost man on third and 1 or 2 more it’s a landslide. So that’s about as scientific as possible an album ranking can be.

 

Uh oh

 

Crick crick

 

I think that may be a joke.

 

Wtf

 

whatever that IG post was is gone...

(also, gotta put my two cents in to say i still think Tidal Wave is their best record)

 

Weird way to spell New Again but whatever

 

Why do we continue to update two separate threads?
