Weekly Nostalgia: Acceptance

Posted by: Jason Tate (12/23/08)
In this week's edition I want to highlight Acceptance. Maybe one of the best debut releases fronted by one of the best voices we've ever heard. If you never got a chance to check them out when they were around - now is a great time to get introduced to them. And if you were a fan back when they were making music -- we'd love to hear from you as you break out the tunes and discuss the band in the replies. Respect your elders: check the replies.

Man, I remember going to see these guys headlining with TREOS, Cartel, Augustana, and Panic at the Disco as support back in 2005. I still listen to Phantoms to this day and become disappointed because these guys had so much potential.

I thought it was good without being great. Definitely a band with a lot of potential though. However, some of them are still making music under the alias Search Rescue. They're on myspace if you want to check them out.

Phantoms is one of my favorite records, I can listen to it all the way through without skipping any songs. I wish they would release some of the songs they were working on before they split.

Take Cover is still one of my favorite songs, man.
They were just so good, it was sad to see them go since they had so much potential in them.

They're in my top five all time favorite bands and they are one of the bands that make me proud to be from Seattle.

I can't believe they never had a proper hometown farewell show.

Phantoms is top ten in the best pop/rock albums released this decade. Every song on that album is pure gold, it should have propelled them to stardom.

"This Conversation is Over" is the most played song on my IPod, I revisit their debut at least once a week.

I want this thread to bring them back. C'mon guys, there's enough support here.
