Taking Back Sunday - 152 (October 27, 2023) Album • Page 104

I think between the actual great songs on S/T, HI and Tidal Wave, you could put together one great album. They just have a lot of skippable tracks (Happiness Is being the outlier, it has the least for sure and is no doubt the best of the 3).

152 is just a great album, front to back. Short, yeah. But consistently a great listen.

 

Post reunion album ranking:

152 (One of the band's best albums, period)

Tidal Wave (One of the band's best albums, period)
Happiness Is... (One of the band's best albums, period)







S/T

 

Oh my God finally someone else who likes that song. It thought I was the only one.

 

Wow that's my ranking too. Wild.

 

I have a soft spot for S/T because that’s around the time when I went from being a casual fan to a huge fan. There’s a few mid songs but I love Faith, Best Places, This Is All Now, and Doesn’t Feel a Thing Like Falling. I think Happiness Is and Tidal Wave were much better.

 

Hey guys, how does everyone feel about New Again?

 

Some say that I'm ready to be New Again

 

New Again is better than TW and 152

 

New Again would be any other band's best album and I would have loved to hear where they could have gone with another Fazzi album. It's ludicrously better than S/T and was just a weird spot for their career, for sure.

 

Please, stop.

 

Hey man, I'd rather rehash convos and rank albums than keep speculating on the Mark drama.

I did love hearing from the folks who have been having a good time at the recent shows too though.

 

There was good discussion happening until pen decided to bring up that dogshit album.

 

Your (wrong) opinion that it's dog shit is the only reason why you think it's a bad discussion

 

I’ve been told opinions can’t be wrong.

 

I personally would like more Mark info than New Again

 

What more info is there? He's clearly not in the band anymore.

 

New Again is great and Fazzi was a solid choice to replace Fred, but knowing Andy Jackson of Hot Rod Circuit was also considered will always be one of my biggest what-ifs with this band.

 

Why

 

Because

 

(Cut From The Team)

 

What can I say, I quote the good book when it's convenient.

 

*negative scene points*

 

I struggle to think of any band that this is true for. I'm a New again apologist but that is an insane statement

 

money sounds like it belongs in a bank heist movie.

 

I call it "Lost Girl core" because it sounds like it could be in the early 2010s show Lost Girl. It has a sleazy, late night out vibe to it (which I'm sure was the intention).
