Sums up my thoughts. It's funny people hate on New Again but I firmly think its a much better album than their S/T

I don't know if you're being sarcastic, but if you're not- kuddos.

Same thing for me, it came out at a pretty crazy time in my life so I hold that album pretty high.

It just got shit on way too much because there weren't any dual vocals, which was TBS's trademark until that point, and what attracted many listeners to them in the first place.

I don't want another album in the style of New Again though, even if the flaws were cleaned up. It had its time, it was a neat thing to do once, but the band's capable of creating a better sound for themselves.

I agree with all of this (I love "Cut me up Jenny" and people say that's their worst song ever) but I do think they need to revist that sound a little on the next release. It was so slick and fun.

Hahah no worries dude, we always agree on everything else

And if there's any dual vocals you can barely make them out. They lost THAT aspect. I don't understand how often I see the love for Fazzi on here, maybe he's cool but he brought nothing good to that album. And I can't tell if he can sing obviously. It was exactly a middle-of-the-road pop-rock album. Everything Must Go is awesome though.

As far as Fazzi goes- he was severely underused. The producer didn't like his vocals (which is insane cause he has amazing pipes) so he talked Adam into doing vocals on his own. He brought a lot of creative ideas that I personally enjoyed (like three people harmonies and a bass solo) so I think loosing him was a huge loss for the band. I remember reading the shit Fazzi did that led to him getting the boot and I just think the whole situation is a bit sad on both ends, wish it could have worked.

I love Nolan so if he is used more properly on the next LP- I'm in!

I'm loving the love for New Again I'm seeing on this thread!
