7 years later, still one of my very favorite albums It is still one of my most treasured albums that I own. So its been over 4 years since I bought this CD, and over 7 years since it came out. I can listen to it straight through without skipping a track.
Thankfully, the songs are written beautifully, without the almost de facto verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus. They all have a very unique and energetic profession that tell a story.
This is one of those brilliant pieces of music that manages to sound cohesive as an album, without all the songs sounding the same.
Something about the combination of Nolan and Lazzara created perfectly crafted melodies laced with angst.
Just writing this makes me want to give the whole thing another listen. HIGHLY recommended. .
My favorite album
I recommend it to anyone who enjoys rock music. Out of all the different genres and artists I've explored, Tell All Your Friends remains my favorite album of all time. I love every song.
A Fun Album
Everyone who heard the song before getting the album defiantly wasn't disappointed when they finally made the purchase. 'You're So Last Summer' is a pop-punk favorite from 2003. This album is an anthem for the broken hearted and an old favorite to scream along to with friends.
Talent, thou hast none
Thats how I knew it was over. I remember dating a girl that loved this album. I have day-dreams of seeing taking back sunday fans in a pit fight against Pantera fans. I highly suspect that all the male 5 star reviews come from those that have never touched a woman.
The best
I won't go that far though I do love every cd they've released so far. Some of the reviews claim Taking Back Sunday is the best thing to happen to American music. Taking Back Sunday helped create the whole emotional (or "emo") music movement with "Tell All Your Friends". You either loved them or you hated them, but you'd hard pressed to find someone who never heard of them.
This cd was very good but did have a few kinks in it. There was also a couple songs I couldn't get out of my head. So overall, I would give this album 4 stars just because of the few songs that didnt stick. However some of the songs are more than 5 stars, like Great Romances Of The 20th Century, You're So Last Summer and Timberwolves at New Jersey. Those songs are as close to perfect as you can get.
