Fireworks was dope

 

The Swellers were better than any of the bands from that wave of pop punk. I'd argue they didn't even really belong there anyway though. Largely dislike most bands that era of the genre is associated with.

 

Unpopular Opinion for a Non-Canadian - Said the Whale and Hey Rosetta! are very very good.

 

i hate nfg and when i first heard firework's early stuff i thought it was an nfg cover band

 

Good for Me is super super underrated even though it's more of a straight up rock album. Hooks on that album are so strong

 

swellers were good but didnt have a good front to back album. their best release was running out of places to go, by a lot.

 

My unpopular opinion is that I like Good for Me the most

 

it's really the only album by fob i've ever really cared about

 

Unpopular with anyone who isn't Ryan Adams or Justin Vernon:

Bruce Hornsby had one of the best ever first five album runs

 

This kinda blows my mind

 

it's cause i really only ever cared about FOB at their most accessible and basic pop punk. kind of a nostalgia thing, given i never really liked them much at all. at this point XO is basically the only song i would, like, purposefully seek out and listen to by them.

 

Wait so have you listened to the rest of their discography

 

Yeah, I didn't even listen to them until IOH came out, and then I never really liked the first two albums but everything after is decent

 

yeah, like, twice. FUTCT like maybe five times lmao. i just never understood this site's/ap's love for them, they're pretty mediocre pop punk with solid chemistry imo

 

Folie is real good, but outside of that, I think they are/were massively overhyped.

Enjoyable, but yea

 

Agreed

 

I still love folie a deux haha

 

Folie is their best.

 

Folie is clearly the best thing they've released

 

Folie has a case for the best thing ANY "scene" band ever released

 

btw those numbers were not actually real. i've listened to those albums more than that. but i never really dug them too much

 

Good three posts in a row here

 

What A Catch, Donnie is their best song

 

you spelled headfirst slide into cooperstown on a bad bet wrong

 

Folie a Deux showed that they could make great pop music. What happened from there though? No clue
