Where It Didn't Want To Be

[Jake Wallace]

Word on the street is that the new Taking Back Sunday album leaked to the internet. If anyone has it and wants to send it to me, my screen name is What It Is 2Burn... I really want to review this!

[Por Vida]

its 3/4's hype, 1/8 decent guitar work and the other 1/8 consists of the rythm section trying to be tech.

[Aileen]

"This Taking Back Sunday album was created for the radio."


there's your review.

[GAD_guy]

it's all over mIRC man, if i could just get a bot to actually send it to me..

[Chevyman803]

whats the filename and what channel are u on?

[SC0926]

if anyone wants it, im me on AIM...ive got it Sarha0926

[XPrettyXWasteX]

radio friendly or not, I love TBS.

[Nate_RAWKS]

Oh my god!!! i'm at work this sucks i want to hear it so bad!!! 4:30 can't come any sooner...

[Michael D.]

Right now I'm being through with listening to it for the first time and I have to say that it well lives up the hype (at least in my humble opinion). It isn't "radiofriendlier" than their previous (genious) one. I don't know if it is as good as tell all your friends though.

[robdobi]

i uploaded the album version of "the union" to my server.

its pretty fucking awesome, tons of energy.

[cal1082]

[xsweetrevengex]

yeah- i'll send it to people to. jass4298


Hey please send it to me at my AIM sn which is Rudy Memento or post it somewhere i want to hear it.

You're hilarious.

[SilverStar89]

I have got it. Its not too bad. Im not really sure what to think of it yet. I dunno.

[SingleDoubt]

can someone setup a server or a website where we can get the whole album?

[SwedishHeat]

Listened to it once already, . . .I don't want to bring myself to believe it, but it's not that great. It just sounds noisy, not really like music. This is a different Taking Back Sunday and it shows, I can't fault them for it, but it just shows that John Nolan probably wrote most of Tell All Your Friends.

and god bless him for it.

if only tbs were decent live, i could enjoy them recorded that much more knowing i can go to a show and not want to tie the mic cord around adam's throat.

[winters abroad]

if anyone has the album and uses bitTorrent and wants to put it up on suprnova or any torrent site that would be amazing, thanks!

[x gloryfades x]

many of you wouldve said the same thing about this album regardless if john nolan was still with the band... "F.P. Mascho" is still damn talented though...

but of course the music was going to change...and it did...not drastically...just a little more produced-sounding

[Jake Wallace]

i've said it before and i will say it again, i love rob dobi!

[jeweltosparkle]

Hey please send it to me at my AIM sn which is Rudy Memento or post it somewhere i want to hear it.

are you that lazy that you can't IM thim. I mean they said they had it does it take that much work to send them an IM?

[SC0926]

ok, stop asking me for the cd guys lol sorry but I have a list thats about 50 people long. give me a bit

[sinbad]

It seems to me that the new album is a lot different than their last, but isn't that a good thing? (I've only heard 3 songs off it so I can't judge the album yet)

No offense to TAYF, but I really hope this album sounds nothing like it- Their last CD was great, but everyone's heard it a million times and their sounds already been ripped off.

Either way people will be dissapointed with this cd. If the sound is the same, people will say they didn't evolve- If it's different, people will say it's not the old TBS- every band faces this problem, people eventually seem to deal with it

[quitmyscene]

alright, i too have about 50 people asking me. its going to take forever..

[SingleDoubt]

yknow what? im gonna be a dedicated fan and wait for the official release... who wants to jump on the bandwagon??

[Amplifried]

yknow what? im gonna be a dedicated fan and wait for the official release... who wants to jump on the bandwagon??

Dedicated or not this CD still sucks. I'm sorry. I gave it a fair chance, but just go listen to Straylight Run and you'll see where the lyrical talent went. I'm sure Nolan also knew a thing or two about music theory because this CD, is at best, a cacophonious mess. It's noisy and stupid. The Union is the most god awful thing I've heard in a long time.

Here is my review for the album:
Someone better start sucking John Nolan's rectum to get him back in the band. Tell him to bring his hot sister too. That is his sister right?

[punklet2101]

Could anyone send it to me on MSN Messenger? (helen_2101)

I don't have AIM

[octobernightRSL]

you will find a new song off the album at www.purevolume.com/7hourdrive

[cal1082]

Never knew so many would IM me. I'll be on late tonight probably (like midnight or so Central time), or look for me tomorrow or later on.

***Oh and the Bush for TBS was a joke. Why would I care who you vote for, for an album? You could just lie anyways and I wouldnt know the diffrence. Thanks for the cursings though, that makes me want to send the album to you even more!***

[Nashional]

suggestion,who ever gets also post your AIM name or whatever so you can send it too this way its not just 4 people tryin to send it to a million,just a thought.

[tRigGerFinGeR]

oh my goo......mental! i dont know where the hell to look to get this but im looking!

[slothnstein]

I have it, but i don't have AIM. sorry fellas.

ps It sucks

[jerkstore20]

the best part of this worthless thread is the fact that no one remembers two weeks ago. you know, when everyone was raving and raving about that over-produced piece of shit My Chemical Romance put out. you know, the one that was really poppy and "radio-friendly".

for the record, the new MCR isn't a piece of shit. it's mature. and produced by someone who knows what they're doing. much like the new tbs record. pull your heads out of your asses, get over your 'john is better/adam is better' biases and enjoy your music for what it is.

jesus, there is a feature on cnn.com about how fast it is spreading...

Don't download it, it will ruin the magic.

amen.

[roxygrl17189]

It might be a better idea if someone that has the cd would post it on a website, so the same people don't have to keep receiving so many IMs about the cd. Just a thought. :wink3:

[spitfire6647]

hey can i get the album too? i dont know if u guys remember but a few months ago i sent out those i am the avalanche demos to everyone who asked for them over the span of like a 3 day period i must have sent them out to about 100 people anyone wanna help me out? if so send over to spitfire6647@aol.com thanks

for the record, your opinion is as good as anyone elses...and the new Tbs record is produced by someone who knows what they're doing??? as opposed to what? Their last album??? sal villanueva?? and you say "enjoy music for what it is" , well what if "what it is" is un-enjoyable?


p.s.- this thread wasn't worthless until you posted.

This guy knows what he's talking about... The MCR is incredible and so is the new TBS.

can someone hook me up with this stuff pleaseee?..Ive been hooking soo many people up with rare songs and shit, and im hoping the saying "what goes around comes around" is true.. IM me at I NEED NEW TBS..please.

[FacingSorrow]

this goes out to the band 7 hour drive. why must you insist on posting about your band on every thread that is popular on here. i'm sure we are all in a shitty band & none of us really care to much. i mean look i am too but i don't constantly post go to my site blah blah when its a post about taking back sunday. put it in your signature & quit being a dick about it or wait until someone from ap.net decides to give you props instead of having it forced down their throats. i mean one time i checked them out & gave you guys a chance, but now I'm just too annoyed to even bother to offer support. sorry if i sound like a dick as well but after i saw it for the 553rd time it started to get on my nerves.

[dretti]

This guy knows what he's talking about... The MCR is incredible and so is the new TBS.



i also agree, i'm still listening to the new mcr, i'm going to wait to listen to the new tbs when it comes out, but i bet it can't be that bad.

[TheBestBet]

I dont know. I really like the record. I really went into it with an open mind and i really enjoy it. Especially "New American Classic". Haha and also anyone else notice anything familiar about "A Slowdance on The Inside........

[i bet i bet]

No offense to TAYF, but I really hope this album sounds nothing like it- Their last CD was great, but everyone's heard it a million times and their sounds already been ripped off.

it

hey, you're right.

i've thought about it- people would complain about this record no matter what. if it was the same as TAYF people would give them shit (even if john was in the band), and if its too different they'll blame it on the fact that john (and shaun) left.

[ADyingBreed]

I dont know. I really like the record. I really went into it with an open mind and i really enjoy it. Especially "New American Classic". Haha and also anyone else notice anything familiar about "A Slowdance on The Inside........


slowdance is an old "john song" if im not mistaken. i wanna hear the cd but im stuck with 56k

[weaknights]

i enjoy the album, actually.

this one's definately not as "radio-friendly" as tell all your friends.

in the end, no one is going to be satisfied. but be open-minded.

[JTrain12]

this blows big huge donkey dick...not the cd...but the fact that I leave school last night with my fast connection to come home to this 56K mess and see the new TBS album has leaked...im gonna buy it either way, just like I did Deja Entendu after hearing it a few weeks before...i just really wanna hear it nowwww

[TheBestBet]

slowdance is an old "john song" if im not mistaken. i wanna hear the cd but im stuck with 56k


Yes its a different song they just used the name I guess for some significance, but the begining of the song sure sounds like another song by that other long island band.....hmmmm

[zackotronic]

what song does "slow dance" sound like?

[weaknights]

what song does "slow dance" sound like?

the first lines sound alot like the beginning of "soco amaretto lime" by brand new. or maybe that's just me.

[NFGarett]

"passed out" "sunday best"..... hmmmm, and they both end in gang vocals

[T92]

soo anyone else willing to send it out :lipsrseal

[grendel20]

It's real weird, slow dance on the inside isn't the one we're used to.... It's not the thisisnotemo.com version, but a song they used to play on the takeover tour...... it sounds really really good too.... i wish they would have put song 41 on there as well... it would have sounded really dope well produced...

[slstar]

hey does anyone have it up on soulseek?

[You'reMyElixir]

I got it and it is enjoyable. It's not "super mind blowing crazy good" but it is enjoyable and that's all I care about. I would send it out to people but I'm leaving work in 10 minutes. You can try AIMing me at visiond4, though.

[T92]

hey does anyone have it up on soulseek?

ive been lookin havent seen it but someone should

[shibbyshoo]

ive been lookin havent seen it but someone should or anyone wanna be nice and do it on aim again :wink3:

i have it up on on soulseek..my sn is shibbyshoo..if that helps..and yes..its not as all hyped up to be

[grendel20]

i have it up on on soulseek..my sn is shibbyshoo..if that helps..and yes..its not as all hyped up to be


it would have been hard for anything to live up to that type of hype.... I'm really suprised at how dope the lyrics are.....

[takingbackSVR]

someone send me the album via anything. my e-mail is adamovideos@yahoo.com and my AIM sn is ihomegrownkidi.

if you guys want I'll upload it on my website: www.adamovideos.com if I get a hold of the WHOLE album.

thanks. marc.

Somebody send it to his kid! haha

[jerkstore20]

my opinion is gold, jerry, gold.

i didn't say sal didn't do a good job, but it is obviously under-produced. maybe it's better that way. MCR's first cd was better that way, but the new one's still great.

i didn't say you had to love the new record. if you find it "unenjoyable", that's cool, just don't play the musical race card - loss of old members. the fact that straylight run is 1/4 as good as tbs answers that question. the same way that nightmare of you is about 1/30000 as good as movielife. and i really like nightmare of you. chances are you dont' care though, b/c i don't agree with everything you say, therefore, i'm fucked. and i'm glad, b/c i'm the shit, and everyone knows it. just ask jared.

Jason.

no sir. the reason slowdance made the cut was because it wasn't a john song. the old demos that are nowhere to be found are gone because they were john songs.

can i have a cheese doodle? *beep beep* see, that's what i do. i ask for a snack, and then i beep the horn.

\leaks are for geeks....buy the cd!!!!!!

hey, id much rather be a geek and have the tbs cd, than be a cool person and not have it.

[staticandclarity]

Could anyone that has the album please be kind enough to send it to me via IM: benjisurferboy...I have a very very rare song from the I can make a mess like nobodys business CD if anyone would be willing to trade that song for the album but only if u have the TBS album

[quitmyscene]

\leaks are for geeks....buy the cd!!!!!!


GO ENGLAND........oh wait :(

most of the people are still gonna buy the cd once its out.

[JustAStupidKid]

if anyone who has it could please send it to me, my aim is justastupidkid... you'd be my hero and it would be your good karma for the day...

[MistaChang]

Okay...listen #3. I'm in love with "I Am Fred Astaire", "Little Devotional", "Number Five With A Bullet", "New American Classic", "Slowdance On The Inside" and just about all the songs we've heard before the CD leaked. The only one that doesn't really do anything for me at all is the opening track. This CD is great though, different but still something great in it's own way.

[DashboardFSF]

you will find a new song off the album at www.purevolume.com/7hourdrive

i bet your the same kid who posted the new jason gleason song as that...stop being a ***got and dont post bogus news

[Dan08]

its catchy...thats bout it

[middlenameboom]

has anyone posted it on suprnova yet?

[staticandclarity]

DOnt ask me anymore for the song its been used up and i cant send anymore because something broke it sorry

[winters abroad]

has anyone posted it on suprnova yet?
yes, info on that would be sick

[InaGreendase]

It's radio-friendly no question. Extremely repetitive.

The songwriting has taken a dive.

[alwaysmoreoften]

yes, info on that would be sick
yes I just posted it on suprnova but it takes up to 30 minutes for a torrent to be added so it should be up there soon if it isn't already. Someone is uploading off it so it should be up

[winters abroad]

yes I just posted it on suprnova but it takes up to 30 minutes for a torrent to be added so it should be up there soon if it isn't already. Someone is uploading off it so it should be up
amazing, thank you so much man

[XPrettyXWasteX]

I love TBS. and I love what I've heard of this new CD so far. I'm sorry if it doesn't please all of you, but hell, some of you people find something wrong with everything. I've loved TBS goin on 4 years now and I aint about to stop now.

[middlenameboom]

where is it on suprnova i cant find it

[octobernightRSL]

hey this goes out to facingsorrow, i really am glad you cared enough to write so much, and i can see how it might annoy you, so i apologize, but i guess some people did like it cause there were like 20 downloads, anyways, i just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to mention what you did

[somebodypunchme]

you will find a new song off the album at www.purevolume.com/7hourdrive

worst attempt to band promote. EVER.

[somebodypunchme]

i still think the album sucks

[fluke182]

Can someone give instructions on how to find it on Torrent or give me an AIM name to get it from? My ID is GimmeTBS if anyone could help thanks.

[Bucc4019]

i think this album is pretty good i love ill love it in a little i dnot think the lyrics are as good though...i think john held the key

[LostMonkey]

where is it on suprnova i cant find it


Yea, I can't seem to find it for anything on suprnova, any suggestions? I got like 6 of the songs off that one site the guy had right when it stopped working (my luck :angryfire )

[two_days_slow]

thanks http://www.setphaserstostun.cjb.net, the album is great even for all you hates of tbs cause your pride and joy Mr. Nolan isn't in the band. But because of him leaving the band, we have two great cds to listen to soon. This new TBS and the upcoming Straylight run. Sometimes band break ups result in better things.

[middlenameboom]

well i finally got the album off of phasers and i have to say its pretty ok. It will never live up to tayf but it is ok, and i could definately do with out new american classic(acoustic is definately overused nowadays).

[theboohi]

ive listened a few times now. it's good, but not as good as tell all your friends. i know that's not surprising, but i thought id put in my two cents.

[miltownrob]

i cant even wait till the remake of your own disaster leaks. it should be amazing. haha i hope that 7 hour drive posts that song too.

[number1alien]

Okay, I have the album. If anyone needs it, message me on AIM...number1alien

[number1alien]

WARNING!

It seems as though I didn't check the downloads before. So if you IM me, the following songs I don't have:

One Eighty..
American..
Little Devotional..

3 out of 11. Sorry. You can still IM me for the other 8.

[Jason Tate]

i love being right. man this CD is bad.

[grendel20]

i love being right. man this CD is bad.

yer not right though..... the cd isn't bad.....

[fluke182]

Holy shit Tate, and you actually once told Refused to quit going to Yellowcard posts because he always bashed them. You never have anything good to say about TBS, why bother posting about them, as you say to Refused? Just a question, I just wonder when I always see the badness from you. I'm not trying to start a fight or anything, no need for that, I am just curious.
I have listened to the 3 existing songs everyone had heard, Set Phasers to Stun and I am Fred Astaire and I think it sounds great after one listen. I suggest give it time to everyone.

Why bother? Because I wanted to like the CD, I gave it a fair listen, and fucking hate it.

[fluke182]

I can deal with that...I guess I am sort of in the position where I'm trying to love it...hmm. What I have to say about Number Five With a Bullet...best thing about is the title. Guh...I hope this grows on me because between this and Let It Enfold You promise may disappear and I just might have to wait for a new Tell All Your Friends. I keep faith and give more listens.

I reviewed it a few weeks ago, here's the review that will never be posted anywhere but here, I don't give albums bad reviews in our database (http://forum.absolutepunk.net/reviews/showproduct.php?product=342) for reasons as I have explained many many times - but, this is just my ramblings on the album anyways .. don't hate me too much after this - part of it is that I spent the last 2 days listening to Say Anythign and Finch non-stop .. and you can't really beat that.


Uhm, hello there, can I have your attention please: will the real Taking Back Sunday please stand up?


Regardless of the copy cats that have sprung up in recent months, regardless of the band name, the trademark off key vocals, the drama, the hype, the attitude - the album sitting in front of me for review, is not Taking Back Sunday. This is not the band that infused Lifetime, Saves the Day, and Thursday together to create a fresh unpolished, desperate sound. I don’t care what anyone tells me, I refuse to admit this is the same band.


I am stuck at a crossroads with my review. As I listen to the CD for the fourth time I realize I stand, much like the naked baby on the album cover, looking down a desolate road. I have two options: one) to take the way the baby is pointing and review this album as if there was another band name on the cover and therefore as though I am reviewing a new and different band, or two) to head the opposite way down the road and review the album as though it is the same band that I fell in love with some three years ago. As I ponder my decision, I realize that I don’t actually have to choose which hat to wear as I review this album - because, to be honest, the album is (regardless of which way I walk), not very good. Before this album TBS were almost innovators. They were, as I said, the fusion of some of the top rated bands of all time. With this album they now will inevitably draw comparisons to Story of the Year and Three Days Grace.


The album starts with some weird vocal effects, uhm, I am sorry – this is not a Linkin Park album, what the fuck is this shit? The same chorus repeated 15 times? Uhm… excuse me, are we listening to that Fanta commercial again? I don’t understand. Where did the scream of desperation go? Where did the shortness of breath go, the sounds that made their last album live and breathe. Why do the screams sound so electronic? Am I jaded? Am I mad? Fuck yes I am! This is the same sound I can find in any of the 30 demo CDs sent in by kids across the nation sitting at my feet. And, yes folks, this is the best song on the CD.


So, I have a serious math question for those that have graduated the 5th grade. What comes before two? I can’t fathom naming a song Bonus Mosh (I’m obviously not cool enough to get it), however; I can fathom even less naming a song “part 2” when no “part 1” exists. I absolutely hate this song, and especially the lyrics. I said so before I ever heard the album that I would be skipping this track, and I can’t even listen to it now.


The third track, the obligatory single spot, is the best song The All-American Rejects have ever released. I love it. It’s fucking catchy (that’s what happens when a line is repeated, over, and over - ad nauseam), it’s a good little ditty with electronic overproduced screams that would make John Feldman jealous – but screw that, it’s a damn good single.


We move from here to the Spidey soundtrack song, This Photograph is Proof. The instruments are crystal, clear, and compact. The lyrics are lines every high school kid has scribbled on his notebook as poetry hundreds of times (I held TBS to a higher standard than most bands in terms of lyrical prowess, my expectations were too high). The vocals are … weird - they don’t fit how glossed the instruments sound.

The Union is horrible. Formula: Sing three lines; add stupid effects, scream, and repeat.


Ashlee Simpson wrote New American Classic.


I Am Fred Astaire sounds like every other song on the album, I yawned through it.


So do the next three songs.


The last song continues the tradition of stealing lyrics from all of their old material, and continuing to help me realize that there is nothing here that invokes any sort of emotion from me at all. It’s all hollow and fake.


The attacks that will likely spew from this review will come towards my musical tastes, and the bands I purport to like. The great logic that will be used is that because of the bands I like, my opinion means nil and is therefore void. I agree. My opinion means nothing: I am a fucking kid sitting behind a computer telling you what I think of a CD, nothing else. You should form your own judgments. Will this CD do well? Yah, probably. The Hot Topic, story of the mall kids are going to fucking love this – but I have a strong inkling that the kids and fans that brought the band to the level they are currently at, are going to feel just like me: cheated. Not cheated out of their money per se, but cheated out of the album that could have been.


As a whole this album reminds me of the ex-girlfriend who calls you six months after she breaks up with you, and you get that tiny feeling in the pit of your stomach that resonates a tiny bit of residual feelings, however; after you hang up the phone, you realize, without a shadow of a doubt, that you are completely over her, and all her little tricks.

[fluke182]

I must ask if you mean new Finch or old Finch, and if new, what do you think?

Did you swallow your pride before you listened to the cd?

[jcsubtitled]

So when can we hear more from Straylight Run?

[Soolastsummer5]

Wow from what i have heard from the new TBS cd it is Really really good. Dissapointing in someways , but come on youve gotta love tbs! :lol2:

[jcsubtitled]

I'll still buy the TBS album (it may be the last TBS album ever) and I'm still looking forward to Straylight Run to close out that wonderful TBS vs. Straylight Run chapter in our lives and yes WHERE THE HELL IS THE SENSES FAIL ALBUM? I hope it takes a long time for the new Brand New album too. If one thing is for sure it is that quality takes a shit load of time. Maybe TBS was rushed on this thing and that's why, in some people's opinions, its not quality.

yea where the hell is the senses fail album??? in my cd player!!! thats all over the net and senses fail needs to come out with that cuz so many people have it already. but i think i lied about likeing the tbs new songs so much... i read the review and its very true all of it, what happened to tbs? I want the tbs i fell in love with back! :cry:

[B-Bones]

i stand corrected. props to being a seinfeld fan, jerkstore and you quoted a guy who loves ovaltine.
actually i remember hearing this song a long time ago when taking back sunday played a show at cal state fullerton acoustically after adam broke his hip.

[ted.]

I must ask if you mean new Finch or old Finch, and if new, what do you think?
a better question for tate than "is the new finch good" would be "why are you holding out the obviously amazing finch album from us when we're here complaining about how shitty the new album from one of the most revered bands in the genre is?"

my point is, post the damn finch album.

[Jason Tate]

old finch album, newish demos. new albums not completed yet, but from what i have heard is amazing. i promise to give u guys a sneak preview of the album when it's finished.. the band has already promised to do alooooot of work with us..

i'd be in a much better mood, and post alot more, and ahve coherent responses but this week has been one of the worst of my entire life and is taking it's toll on me - so much fucking shit is going down...

[ted.]

my mistake for the misunderstanding.

[Jason Tate]

beautiful.

all good, i'm confusing at times.

[ted.]

back on topic, as of now, the set phasers site is down, and it's not up on suprnova yet. anyone know what's going on with either of those?

edit--fixed mistake, and now it's up on suprnova, but with no seeds.

[forever_broken]

I have 2 of the new finch songs. And from what ive heard, they are awesome. Although if you didnt know it was finch im not sure that you would guess that it was them........Oh yeah i cant get the new tbs or i would state my opinion. I have a feeling that i will make myself like it though because i am still obsessed with the first cd

[forever_broken]

no peers but one seed at this site (http://www.jmstacey.net/tracker/details.php?id=1522) go here it is working!!!!!!!!!!

[tRigGerFinGeR]

this albums rocks soooo much, i think tell all your friends woz better, maybe thats just coz right now, im soo used 2 it, but this one is by NO MEANS bad. awesome.

[SingleDoubt]

does anyone know how it was leaked?

[ShoeSh1ne]

If you didn't like the three songs that were released (Bonus Mosh, Decade, and This Photograph) then odds are you won't like the CD. I think too many people set their expectations way too high. I can't really blame you, but I exepct this album to be great. I haven't downloaded it, and I don't intend to, but TBS is my favorite band, so much so, that I still think they will be even after I have the new album for a few weeks. This is a different band in some ways, different people are writing the songs and playing them, I think you have to accept that first before you listen to this.

[mediocrgreenday]

i agree with you. i mean what were you guys expecting?? no matter what they did, it wouldnt be good enough for some people. i want people to hate it, to me that means it will probably be a great cd. how can you reveiw an album that you have only listened to a couple of times, and have only had it acouple of days. it doesnt matter if you sit there and listen to it 10 times in a row, you need to experience it in different moods, different settings, and let it sink in. i remember my friend playing TAYF for me the first time, i hated it. i was like wtf is with this band, they sing, then randomly scream, theres like 3 different hooks per song, and that damn high pitch shit in the background (which is a huuuge improvement for the new cd). i hated it. when i first heard deja entendu i was dissapointed. but with both of those cd's i gave it time, the lyrics sank in and i found myself singing the songs in my head before i relized how amazing they are. if you listen to the cd and like it the first time, chances are its going to loose its charm really quickly. so to all of you that feel discuraged after reading some of these posts, wait acouple weeks, then see what people are saying, ignore the reviews thus far and be patient,

ok so, yeah i totally agree with this post. the new stuff, sure it is so different than tayf, but i was expecting this. bosh mosh is def one of the better tbs songs, and photograph and decade are prety dec too. i really hope that the lyrics for the rest of the songs are better than photograph, cuz i mean, they're really pretty basic. i too am not gonna give in to downloading this ish.. i can wait another month. i have been a tbs fan for about four years and i am totally looking forward to it. the only thing i am not looking forward to is how the number of 13 year old avril lavine wanttobe's at their shows is gonna quadrooplifie.

... is that even a word....

[canbarelysmile]

ok so i was on some message board and accidentally stumbled across the lyrics for you can slowdance on the inside. correct me if im wrong, but i have a live version of the song elleisomgwhat.. or how ever you spell it... but they are the same songs. the line "cross my heart and hope to... i' lying just to keep you here." stuck with me from it, and its in slowdance. crazy..

[jcsubtitled]

in your CD player? well then, help a brotha out... where can i get some senses fail to quench that addiction and what did you think of those? obviously somewhat good if they're in your CD player. I only have Buried a Lie and Bite to Break Skin

it's all over limewire and all of those free music programs. You just have to know what all the song titles are and you are set.

Why bother? Because I wanted to like the CD, I gave it a fair listen, and fucking hate it.
and we hate you tate. and we you. you like yellowcard so your opinion=null and void. this cd is absolutely amazing. get your head out of your ass and swallow your pride tate, so adam's talked shit on your website. so has everyone else in the scene. get the fuck over it, grow up, take the cotton out of your ears and give this cd another listen.

[Jason Tate]

Good job at falling perfectly into the trap I set up in my review. I applaud you for being that dumb.

[number1alien]

Okay, NOW I have the full album, if anyone still needs it...

[jeweltosparkle]

I love when the new cd was first mentioned anyone talking crap on it was told...
"...You can't judge the cd before you hear it..."

Then one song got out and people would said it sucked were told
"...You can't judge the cd one track..."

Then there was about 3 tracks floating around out there and people predicting the cd being terrible were told...
"...You can't judge the whole cd off of a couple tracks wait until you hear the whole thing..."


NOW THE WHOLE CDS OUT!!! aw did you run out of excuses why it's nowhere close to their old cd in greatness?

[ted.]

i have it now too. probably better than a lot of albums i own, but definitely doesn't hold a candle to tell all your friends.

the main difference is that where tayf seemed to have a "two (sometimes three) songs in one" quality, this album doesn't. when john used to sing back up, he used to sing entirely different lyrics, as if he were singing a completely different song. this time around, fred just backs up adam.

also, what is the name of the other demo song labeled as "...slowdance on the inside" and why is it not on the album? it was hands down the best of the demos...

[AndrewLikeFire]

this album is real good. fred ruled in breaking pangaea and now he rules here. i don't think the album is radio friendly, but it's definitely different from the last album.

[Trainsaw]

Its funny that if someone calls tate out on being the gossip queen that he is, he all of a sudden hates their music.

[theboohi]

also, what is the name of the other demo song labeled as "...slowdance on the inside" and why is it not on the album? it was hands down the best of the demos...

the old song was with the old band, they were playing it live right before john and shaun left. i guess they just kept the name, because the song is obviously nothing like it used to be.

[Soolastsummer5]

in your CD player? well then, help a brotha out... where can i get some senses fail to quench that addiction and what did you think of those? obviously somewhat good if they're in your CD player. I only have Buried a Lie and Bite to Break Skin

The cd is definately better then the first, i dig it alot! my sn is Soolastsummer5 on aim if u want to im me to get it, or if u have limewire or sumthin its all over that.

[Soolastsummer5]

Hey dont TBS also has a demo song called Follow the format and i dunno y thats not on the cd, that song is really good



I never made a scene, it came to me

[warriorsam]

I like the first three songs a lot, then my mind just wanders back to them 'til the last track. It's not a very ADD-friendly album. Then again, once the songs start developing some sort of context for me, I'll probably like the album a lot; people tend to like music when they can attach it to people/places/memories in general, regardless of whether or not it's actually "good" music (whatever defines "good").

[ghostyouare]

Hey dont TBS also has a demo song called Follow the format and i dunno y thats not on the cd, that song is really good

I think it didn't make the cd cause it was the worst song ever written imho, and thats all that counts.

[ghostyouare]

i agree with you. i mean what were you guys expecting?? no matter what they did, it wouldnt be good enough for some people. i want people to hate it, to me that means it will probably be a great cd. how can you reveiw an album that you have only listened to a couple of times, and have only had it acouple of days. it doesnt matter if you sit there and listen to it 10 times in a row, you need to experience it in different moods, different settings, and let it sink in. i remember my friend playing TAYF for me the first time, i hated it. i was like wtf is with this band, they sing, then randomly scream, theres like 3 different hooks per song, and that damn high pitch shit in the background (which is a huuuge improvement for the new cd). i hated it. when i first heard deja entendu i was dissapointed. but with both of those cd's i gave it time, the lyrics sank in and i found myself singing the songs in my head before i relized how amazing they are. if you listen to the cd and like it the first time, chances are its going to loose its charm really quickly. so to all of you that feel discuraged after reading some of these posts, wait acouple weeks, then see what people are saying, ignore the reviews thus far and be patient,
I totally agree, when thursday's full collapse first came out i was new to the type of music and i was like its shit, I hated the screamign but then i picked it up a few weeks later again and i was like wow, Timing is everything.

I have it on soulseek if anyone still wants it my sn is raul1905.
