Taking Back Sunday- Louder Now
I bought this album after hearing "MakeDamnSure", which was the first single off this album. This was also the first TBS album I'd ever bought, and I was impressed. This album is, simply put, an amazing mixture of rock, punk, and, as corny as it sounds, loud music. The title makes sense, this band is louder now. Okay, well I didn't want to write a stupid long paragraph about the meaning of this album or whatever, so on to the review, I guess....
Okay, so I already told you that this album is amazing every way, shape, and form, but now I want to tell you why. Although every song is without a doubt unique, some parts get repetitive. But nonetheless it is a great album and should give anybody with ears a good time. But, now I'll talk about the best and worst songs. In my humble opinion, some of the best songs on here include "Spin", "Blackout (Up Against)", "What's It Feel Like To Be A Ghost", and "MakeDamnSure". First of all, I'll start with the first track on the album, "What's It Feel Like To Be A Ghost". This song is definately a great album opener. It opens with a powerful yet soothing intro, all guitar, and then the drums and bass kick in. I think the song is about a ghost sort of haunting someone, and then the person being haunted starts to wonder what it would feel like to be in a ghost's shoes. It's a meaningful and fun song, and it should please new-coming fans, but fans of old TBS may not appreciate it as much. Moving on to the second track, "Liar (It Takes One To Know One)". Now, I personally usually skip over this track. I'm not saying it's a bad song, it's just not exactly my favorite. It gets a bit repetitive towards the end. But it has a fairly catchy intro. Before I get into the rest of the tracks, I'm going to talk about my favorite and least favorite songs.
------MY FAVORITE SONGS--------
Okay, so some of my favorite songs on this album include "What's It Feel Like To Be A Ghost", "MakeDamnSure", "Spin", "Blackout (Up Against)", and "Twenty Twenty Surgery". These songs may not neccessarily be the best ones, but it really fully depends on the listener.
-----MY LEAST FAVORITE SONGS-----
Now, some of my least favorite songs include "Divine Intervention", "Liar (It Takes One To Know One)", and "My Blue Heaven". First things first, "Divine Intervention" is very boring, probably the slowest and most boring song on the album. About 75% percent of this song is all acoustic guitar and singing. I'm not saying that's bad, but it makes it extra boring, if you know what I mean.
And the last few songs are very good, especially "Error Operator" and "Miami". But I don't wanna go into that, you'll have to see for yourself when you buy this album.
-----BOTTOM LINE-----
If it's good, buy it. A moral for all albums.
