Tell All Your Friends vs. Your Favorite Weapon

[Pawan1993]

Tell All Your Friends from Taking Back Sunday version 1 or Your Favorite Weapon from Brand New?
Lacey used to be in TBS and then he left to make this album with the song SeventyTimesSeven. John Nolan retaliated and made Tell All Your Friends and the song There's No 'I' In Team. Who do you think musically wins through these albums and songs?
Even though Brand New are by far a much better band, just considering these two albums would easily put TBS as the winner for me.

[Lirr168]

I think YFW has much more staying power. I still really like this album even though I also love Daisy whereas TAYF just doesn't hold my interest as much anymore.

[COTA]

Brand New gets my vote.

[WhoSaidThat?]

Tell All Your Friends

[ThatColdPart]

I like Brand New more as a band, but based of of the two albums TAYF blows away YFW.

[Cameronisonfire]

Tell All Your Friends easily. It's a big building block. The other one is basically denounced by the band :/.

[Tim Lincecum]

ive seen this done multiple times, it seems to be the only poll on his site that brand new loses

Sorry if it's been done before. I haven't really seen the past ones but yeah, it is the only poll where Brand New loses.

[voncorn]

Honestly, it's a tie for me. Both of these records meant a lot to me in middle school. I voted "Your Favorite Weapon" but seriously, that is a fucking tough decision for me to make.

[HometownHero]

Tell All Your Friends by far for me

[BulleTheory]

Brand New is better, but TAYF was a better album.

[Indoor Living]

I only like one Brand New album, and it's not this one. TAYF.

[Pawan1993]

Brand New is better, but TAYF was a better album.
Exactly.

[nonamesleft]

Hmmm, Tell All Your Friends

[fightinirish217]

Tell All Your Friends

[anamericangod]

Tell All Your Friends. It's not even close.

[Crowe41]

Like others said, although Brand New raised the bar later in the game, at the time of this release TBS was on a whole different level.

[batmannj]

TAYF and it's not even close

EDIT: someone beat me to it. Still my point remains the same.

[3eb23]

Tayf

[fourletterword]

both solid, but tell all your friends

[lauren1234]

Tell All Your Friends

[DejaMe]

TAYF is overrated IMO. Am I missing something here, or maybe it's just because I really don't like TBS.

[what_ever]

this is no contest. TAYF towers over YFW.

[fueledbyvictory]

I haven't heard YFW and I haven't come across it in a thrift store yet.

[Theseventhson]

TAYF is wayyyyy better.

[Alex DiVincenzo]

Surprised to see TBS in the lead; I was expecting to be in the minority.

wut

By voting for TBS, I was expecting to by in the minority because BN wins every poll. I was surprised to find that this was not, in fact, the case.

It's coz TAYF owns YFW. :D

[NewFoundAndrew]

Absolutely both of them!

[nashiscash1324]

as a whole i like YFW a lot more than TAYF, even though TAYF has some really good tracks on it.

[Tommy Gun]

While I value Brand New much much more as a band, there is something about Tell All Your Friends thats just charming on a whole.

[shaantychan]

Tell All Your Friends was good for Taking Back Sunday, but I really don't like TBS very much.
YFW will always be my favourite BN album.

[guitarliketom]

i know a million people will disagree with me, but whatever. public forum, my personal opinion.


skipable tracks on tayf:
ghost man
blue channel
head club

skipable tracks on yfw
secondary
no seatbelt

better songs on yfv triumph the ones on tayf.

[zac_montucky]

Brand New is my favorite band, but I've got to say TAYF whips YFW's ass. (Yay personification!)

YFW does have my 2 favorite songs from both albums combined, but I feel like TAYF aged better, flowed way better, and showed more potential. (At the time, I obviously don't feel that way now, sorry Noah Fawkes.)

Also, TAYF had an excellent trump card. John Nolan

[Paulb-182]

This has been done numerous times, and I will always vote Tell All Your Friends. The thing is perfect.

[stuntmaniac]

I peronally prefer YFW soooo much more, whoever said that Tell all your friends has more "staying power", really do not agree with that, I mean lyrically YFW is so much stronger, you just have to compare Theres No I in team and Seventy Times 7, Jesse is the better musician.

[fadedmemories]

Tell All Your Friends is worlds away from YFW. I can't understand why YFW has more than 20 votes.

[asthenia*]

TAYF,
the song writing is stronger and John Nolan is a bad ass

[laxcrs]

both solid, but tell all your friends

[SeanEBoy2686]

Your Favorite Weapon.... i still listen to it regularly

[fourletterword]

Ghost Man is one of TBS's best tracks.

False. there are no skippable tracks on TAYF (IMO) And I listened to YFW all the way through a few days ago and was left very bored.

TAYF all the way.

[friskycurtain]

TAYF is a solid album, hated everything Brand New has released

[abandonship]

I really like them both, but the weaker tracks on TAYF are better than the weaker tracks on YFW...so gonna go TAYF.

[miketheauthor]

I love brand new so much more that TBS. But I think I gotta go with tell all your friends.

[guitarliketom]

Ghost Man is one of TBS's best tracks.


personally i feel the cd its a creative lull there.

also we now know which band had more potential and staying power... :panbunny:

[fadedmemories]

THIS IS WHAT LIVING LIKE THIS DOOOOES!

[Schiffty]

i love br& new so much better
but Tell all your friends is a better album

[E. Clectic]

I would take TAYF above all Brand New albums except Deja..

[Formatfun]

I think the album as a whole, YFW is definitely better. But I think a few songs from TAYF are better than most on YFW. Those being Cute Without the 'E' (Cut from the Team), There's No "I" In Team, and You're So Last Summer, for me personally.

[ManicanParty49]

Listening now...TAYF was worlds better than YFW.

[yourprivateeye]

I have the chess pieces from YFW as part of a collage on my half sleeve on my right arm...sooo....

[AceSau(E)nders]

Brand New is probably my favorite band, and 'Jude Law...' is probably my favorite song of all-time, BUT TAYF, I think, is the best CD of all time. Which is why Taking Back Sunday sucked after it, there was just no way they could've followed it up.

[threepunchjim]

Never understood the appeal for TBS, even old TBS. They suck - always have.

[smogs]

I think YFW has much more staying power. I still really like this album even though I also love Daisy whereas TAYF just doesn't hold my interest as much anymore.

You said it best. I loved TAYF when I was in 8th/9th grade, but now I really can't listen to anymore.

[blinkme]

I've lost all interest in TBS. I enjoyed Tell All Your Friends alot when it came out but can barely listen to it now. I prefer 'Seventy Times 7' to 'There's No 'I' In Team.'

[NervousDestiny]

I chose YFW even though I love both albums equally. I really like listening to "Seventy Times Seven" and then "There's No 'I" in Team" right after. Or vice versa.

[SuNDaYSTaR]

Brand New is better, but TAYF was a better album.This.

[harryCane]

any other brand new album slightly > tbs

As for these two: tbs > brand new

[xsinkshipsx]

I am not a huge fan of either because I think they both went on to make WAY better albums but...I'd say TAYF wins

Version 2, surely? What about the one with Jesse on bass and that really shit singer?

[inthemidst]

Tell All Your Friends is my favorite album of all time.

[E. Clectic]

Version 2, surely? What about the one with Jesse on bass and that really shit singer?

That wasn't Tell All Your Friends, it was an EP called the Taking Back Sunday EP, and the EP before that called Lullaby.

The "shit" singer Antonio Longo.

[Deadbolt01]

I knowww, I was saying TAYF was TBS version 2 rather than 1 like he said.

[smorgy]

he never said it was tell all your friends. he said the tayf was like version 2 of tbs not 1

[Feenucks]

I like Brand New more as a band, but based of of the two albums TAYF blows away YFW.

This.

[gabegr]

YFW gets my vote but that was hard

[nerdvglc]

tayf is amazing, and if you would have asked me a few years ago i would have said that it wins. but as of now, i can listen to yfw anytime, but i need to be in more of a specific mood for the teenage angst going on in tayf. so, yfw wins for me.
