5. s/t (best place to be a mom, you got me, call me in the morning)
6. new again (summer, man, capital m-e, everything must go)

 

Your dislikes. The yes on the others were for the "no bad songs on the album" parts

 

I'll Find a Way to Make It What You Want sounds amazing live. Here's hoping it becomes a staple so I can see it one day.

 

I think Sink Into Me is one of their worst songs, I just can't stand it. New Again starts off well, and I like the versus, but the chorus is pretty brutal and it goes on and on at the end. Too long of a song imo. Lonely, Lonely is OK and I honestly don't even really remember what Catholic Knees sounds like, I just never go back to it and don't remember liking it.

 

sink into me is a fucking jam

 

Additionally, some of my favorite B-Sides, Demos, and non-album cuts are:
1. Follow The Format (I think it's a b-side to A Decade...)
2. Semi-Automatic
3. Long Time Comin'
4. Little Devotional (Mike Sapone Demo)
5. Twenty-Twenty Surgery Demo (better than the final album cut, imo)
6. Can You Feel That
7. Morning Sickness
8. Mackey Sasser & Steve Balboni Ride Again

 

no Brooklyn?

 

I included Brooklyn on my list of favorite songs from Louder Now. But I guess it technically is a bonus track, right?

 

Perhaps I've never grown around to it simply because that was the first song they released following Fred's departure that introduced their 'new sound' and maybe part of me was really stubborn that I just didn't want to like it. I can stomach it nowadays, but still think it's one of the weaker songs on New Again, which I find to be one of their weaker albums.

 

I know so many people on here think Sink is so catchy but the chorus is absolutely one of the more grating things I've heard *shrugs* I hate how he sings it.

 

Sink Into Me and Cut Me Up Jenny are definitely my least favorites on New Again

 

If I were to include the Live at Orensanz album, that would probably be closer to the top and I like Makedamnsure, Your Own Disaster, Everything Must Go, and Cute better than the studio versions. 180 and Decade sound so good too, but hard for me to pick which versions I prefer. The orchestrated extended outro on Decade is soooo great though.

 

Seeing them tonight too. Can't wait!

 

I'll join in.

How close I was last night (11th). This is not zoomed

 

Y'all, I just saw TBS live tonight in New Orleans and it was an incredible experience (minus the white male violence in the audience; I was groped by someone who smelled like shit & cheese, had beer spilled on me, folks just felt like they could just touch my afro without asking, and I was kicked in the head/neck 3 times by crowd surfers).

BUT anyways, the entirety of Tidal Wave translates really well live. Some highlights were Can't Look Back, Call Come Running, Holy Water, All Excess, and In The Middle of It All. Those songs seemed to really resonate well with the audience, especially folks who maybe hadn't heard the album or were just casual listeners. Eddie wasn't there at all (presumably because his daughter is still unwell/sick???).

A lot of folks knew the songs and lyrics from Tidal Wave so the first part of the set wasn't tedious or boring. Obviously, everyone went nuts when they played older songs. Overall it was a 9/10 experience. Post-concert depression is real, y'all.

 

I'm still in a high from my show lo.
Adam said Eddie was out with the flu now at mine, vomit and the works lol

 

Eddie can't catch a break on this tour.

 

Apparently not. Shame his luck seems so bad

 

Yikes, poor Eddie. At my show, folks started chanting "Where the fuck is Eddie?" after they finished playing the entirety of Tidal Wave but no one in the band addressed his absence.
