The Best
This is my favorite TBS album by far, hands down, and IMO, the best album they've had. I'm going to keep it short and to the point. I've been a tad disappointed with the newest album and a little less with Louder Now because this album created such high expectations for me from TBS.
Taking back this album to the store..
OK, so maby I'm not really returning this album. another beer coaster couldn't hurt, right? I picked this album up after hearing "Set phasers to stun" and "a decade under the influence" on the radio, which I should have realized that is exactly what this band is: radio pop rock for teenage angst. The singles on this album keep me from giving it 1 star, but I still give two grudgingly. If you enjoy the emo/screamo or whatever this genre is, then you will probably like this album. Otherwise, don't bother. .
sending back sunday
K. this album is O. dont get me wrong, i know all the lyrics and jam with friends but nothing compares to the 1st album, 'tell all your friends'. NOTHING. and nothing ever will. not feeling the new members. john nolan and sean cooper obviously were the brains of tbs cause their (sort of) new band, STRAYLIGHT RUN, is one of my favorite bands. now the 3rd tbs album. TRAIN WRECK. adam lazzara. . . SELL OUT.
Even better than TAYF
I enjoyed TAYF, but when I first heard this I realized that they took it to a whole new level. This band is definetely good at what they do. . . in a good way. Basically I was instantly blown away, and although I don't listen to it as much these days, there is no denying this is a great record. . . . Slowdance on the Inside the final track is one of my all-time favorite songs. This album has a lot of variety it can be hard-rocking, emotional and fast. I don't think they can replicate this and so far they haven't with "Louder Now".
Where You Want To Be
While I am not big on the whole emo trip that the rest of the world seems to be stuck on I will say that Taking Back Sunday is a truly great band. Taking Back Sunday-Where You Want To Be ****
Where You Want To Be is Taking Back Sundays best album. Their lyrics are great and they're performances are great. While musically Taking Back Sunday is nothing to qawk serperatly but together they are a great band.
'Set Phasers To Sun' is a great song to open the album. 'A Decade Under The Influence' and 'This Photograph Is Proof' both went on to become minor hits for the band and help the album to sell the amount of copies it did. 'The Union' is another great song with really good lyrics and some memorable guitar work. 'New American Classic' aside from having a really cool title is a really cool song. It is slow and acoustic. The song serves as a nice center peice or focal point on an album full of angst, emotions, and lots of screaming. The band saved the best for last, '. . . Slowdance On The Inside' closes the album. It is easily the best song the band ever recorded. It is also the perfect way to end the album. The song features some of the coolest and most creative lyrics ever written. Though very, very emo the song is really great for two dating teenagers. The rest of the songs on the album are all still good songs they just dont do anything to really stand out among the other before mentioned songs. That doesnt mean that they are any worse though.
Taking Back Sunday managed to make one of the most deppressing albums ever depending on you current love and relationship status. Where You Want To Be will go down in as one of the Emo genres best albums when the little fad fades away.
