July 27th 2004 finally it came. Jesus its been long. The long awaited release from the most controvertial and in the melodic hardcore scene, taking back Sunday released its sophmore album. This will be my first review of a cd, and rightly so it should be for one of my favorite bands ever. First of all before I start I must clear up some things with

when i first listened to this album, i thought it was crap. sounded just like the other one, and nothing impressive going on in eddie's world. however, i realized that taking back sunday doesn't suck, and are nothing like new found glory. so i gave it a second listen, and i realized how much ass it was kicking. it was a lot more deep and intricute (sp?) than i had first thought, but i don't know if i want to go as far as saying that this is better than the first album. from your description adam's lyrical meaning seem epetitive and, yes, emo for my taste. while the music is flat out awesome, i think they could do with an adam upgrade. i mean the only thing he has to do is write and sing songs, and he can hardly do this. he spazzes during concerts (which really isn't that much of a problem because it still sounds alright) and the lyrics aren't as deep as i would hope. it sounds more like he lost a parent, not a band member. nonetheless i am still a TBS fan, and will be until adam decides to write a song with less lyrical depth than story of the year can come up with. hopefully i'll be a TBS fan for awhile. Taking Back Sunday 1 is my choice, because if it was them for this album, i'm sure it would have kicked even more ass

Have you ever seen them live? Adam just swings the mic the entire time, literally. He barely even sang during the songs, the only one singing mostly was john.
