Taking Back Sunday - 152 (October 27, 2023) Album • Page 52

This is up there for my album of the year.

 

This album has two distinct halves for me: the first almost half that I overplayed 100x before album release, and then the 2nd half. Almost like 2 eps.

 

Ended up going to their in store performance on Long Island today. Happy to finally have this on vinyl (and signed!).

Don't know if it's been mentioned yet but I see that S'old has peaked at #27 on the US Alternative Chart. Unless I'm mistaken this is the first time they've had a single chart in the US since Sink Into Me.

 

It's actually at #22 right now. And yes, you're correct.

 

I re-listened to New Again the other day and wow there’s some really cool guitar and bass work going on in there.

listened to the new album today and I am fully on board too

 

Great basswork on NA

 

Has there been any mention of a U.S. tour for this album yet?

 

In the spring allegedly

 

hope they play this in full on the tour like they did Tidal Wave - id really love to hear it. I can do without most of 'the hits' at this point. this is worth devoting the time to each night.

 

If they played Tidal Wave in full I gotta believe they'll do that for this since they seem even prouder of it. I gotta see this in full badly

 

And this album is only 30 minutes. They can easily play it in full and then do 45 minutes of greatest hits.

 

The album play they’ve been doing have had a 5 minute intermission between the album and a “hits” setlist of about 12 songs.

 

I agree this album needs a full play-through on tour, but the rest of the set needs a refresh. Too many good songs in their back-catalogue that rarely get played live

 

i may have two tickets for Bowery tonight. sadly cant go. PM me

 

Yeah I would love to see this one played in full live. That iHeartRadio livestream confirmed it.

 

Okay fuck it I’m doing it- if the tour for this album were to be a 152 play-thru, intermission, then 14 songs spanning their catalogue (B-sides included), what does everyone’s preferred 2nd half of the set look like? Doesn’t have to be in order of how the set would flow, just which songs you’d want to hear. I’m going with:

You Know How I Do
Great Romances
Little Devotional
The Union
Brooklyn
I’ll Let You Live
Summer, Man
Carpathia
This Is All Now
It Doesn’t Feel a Thing Like Falling
Beat Up Car
We Were Younger Then
Fences
In The Middle of It All

(P.S. Sorry in advance if this discussion ends up yielding album rankings or “NA is good” posts. Not trying to go down those rabbit holes again haha)

 

Everything Must Go should never leave a setlist, ever.

 

I admit I struggled with that but I was also taking the longevity of Adam’s voice into account when I put that together, but that’s just me. I wouldn’t envy having to sing that every night. Also part of the reason why I struggled leaving 180, Spin and Better Homes and Gardens off the list as well.

 

Set Phasers To Stun
Spin
My Blue Heaven
This Is All Now
Cute Without The E
Everything Must Go
MakeDamnSure
It Takes More
We Don't Go In There
Timberwolves of New Jersey
All The Way
Great Romances
The Union
You Can't Look Back

 

I STRUGGLED with deciding whether to put All the Way or Beat Up Car on my list.

 

Cute
Timberwolves
Great Romances
180
Slow Dance
MakeDamnSure
Ghost
My Blue Heaven
Carpathia
Best Places
Beat Up Car
Better Homes
Call Come Running
Deathwolf

 

oh this is kind of fun. gonna go with two songs from each album to make it even. also going with some songs i WANT to hear live, because some of these i likely never will again or at all.

You Know How I Do
Ghost Man on Third
The Union
I Am Fred Astaire
Spin
Brooklyn (Louder Now B-Side)
Sink Into Me - why is this song so underrated? thought it was a great single.
Long Time Comin (New Again B-Side and arguably the best song outside of Carpathia from that session)
Who Are You Anyway
Since You're Gone
All the Way
They Don't Have Any Friends
You Can't Look Back
Homecoming
