Taking Back Sunday progressively gets better and better. They create songs that apply to their lives, and their fans lives in turn. These guys get older and so does their material, but so do the fans! TAYF was a different time for these guys and they were going through different things. You can't hate on them for not writing about break ups and fights with friends if they are married. Bands change and get better.

[@tamaRAWSFX]

I even love that the merch now has onesies. I mean come on! :) this band grew up with me from high school to now. I couldn't understand people comparing the albums when they tell different stories.

Wow after watching two of my other favorite artists growing up release their new stuff as older dudes (Blink 182 and Linkin Park) I was expecting the same type of result out of TBS new albums.. You know, good stuff but more nostalgic purposes and not the same as back in the day. I was wrong, this song, album, is VINTAGE! It's just as good as their stuff from 2005..love it. Who would have thought those crazy guys jumping around for 'Cute without the E' would still be going strong this day??

Im 22 and have been listening to them since around 5th gr. so im definitely a young folk who have been listening to them for years :)

Same here! 23, loved them since middle school! You have an awesome taste in music sir!

[@dominicdunn2579]

I kinda forgot that I listened to them for that long, thank the lord for older siblings. Got to see Tool this past week and that was also inspired by them!

Hmmmmmm, I feel old!!! :-)

Don't! :D

[@FloydRobertson]

I swear this song gives me the chills. In a good way.

[@Finglish1000]

Been a fan since the first album, which came out in the year I met my wife. Finally got to see them last night in Helsinki. I was so pleased that they played songs from every album. They were personable, charming and above all played a blinding set. Thanks so much for for a great night and bringing back some wonderful memories.

[@camash879]

This song is AMAZING, it is their best song since the original line up reunited. It just has that typical emotional TBS written all over it that we all grew to love.

[@hndsmwkwrd]

No other band from the "scene" has evolved as much as Taking Back Sunday did. I've been listening to them for literally twelve years now, I've gone from a young man to a man listening to them. Whoever says that this band hasn't evolved doesn't know SHIT about life and/or music. Brand New never actually grew up. Neither most of their fans. Taking Back Sunday in the other hand did, and did it with me. So I'm thankful for having them around, because I seriously wouldn't like to live without them making the soundtrack.

[@samhendry2305]

I feel like bands from this era are trying too hard to reinvent themselves, but this a rare encapsulation of the tbs we all love and want. Saves the day is one of the few still doing what the emo scene of 2000’s want.

[@1TZAH]

keep playing , TBS after so many years u guys still plays awesome music.

[@AnimalsOnSunday]

I hate that they have lost so much coverage, but I don't care, this group has never let me down. Thank you so much Taking Back Sunday.

[@rynoweston]

This is one of the few songs that I have liked since Fred left the band. Hopefully the new album is as good as their first 3.

[@DjayBrawner]

You know Fred was not the back up singer on the fist Album. It was John, who is on this album. He kills it.

[@rynoweston]

Djay Brawner Yes I knew that. That's old news. They just haven't produced a lot of good songs since Fred left. (IMO) Their self-titled album with John was loads better than New Again, which I felt was not that good. I actually wish John would do a little more singing kind of like he did back in the Tell All Your Friends Album.

[@DjayBrawner]

fair enough!

This song helped me get over my ex wife. I decided to go back and listened to TBS.. That's when I realized that I missed most part of my life because I gave everything I had and changed for the sake of love. Now, I'm back to my old self and their songs reminding me everything... Their songs kept me going on with life..

Taking Back Sunday is hands down the best band in the entire world. I’ve seen them live for that 20 times and haven’t missed a show in Philly since I was allowed to go to shows. I’ve been listening to them since I was 9 years old; I’m 23 now (it’s true, nobody fucking likes me). I can’t believe I’ve been listening to this band for over half my life. Honestly it’s almost been 2/3 of my life LOL.

[@trevorfreund4110]

I know I sound crazy, but in my opinion, happiness is>taking back sunday>new again>louder now>where you want to be> tell all your friends, yet I love all of them. I doubt there's anyone in the world that agrees with that xD

Nope louder now is the best (;

[@eyestillfeelher]

Am I the only one who cried watching this? This was beautiful

[@TheWolfkit]

John still looks the same as he did all those years ago. The arrangement on this song reminds me a little bit of their classic "Ghost Man On Third", but more modern and mature. They are still a great band and I'm so happy that they've allowed themselves to grow and do what they want. They sound great doing it!

[@SuperAndrew152]

New album, new sound, same band. Totally enjoyed this one. i just wonder why some people always go back to the sounds of the band a decade ago. Changes is essential people. TBS to me is one of the best band ever formed not because of their songs from one album they released. I like TBS because you cannot hear the same thing again from each and every album which is good for a band. their evolution as a band and from their youthfulness to adulthoods is simply amazing.

[@KelseySmith]

Pre-ordered the album and purchased tickets to the show!

[@myphpchannel68]

this is their greatest work ever.. i hope that they'd be able to create another more beautiful than this.. this band matured enough in a very astonishing way.

[@theSUPERmere]

No mic swinging, no party.. Except this song, this is AMAZING.

[@MrOrangepeel12]

Don't stop writing music.... or expanding you guys are amazing and just because you don't have high views doesn't mean it's not good. This is one of my favorite songs you guy's have written so far and I love the old stuff.

[@3rdforest]

welcome back, Taking Back Sunday. this album takes me back to the early stuff, truly nostalgiacally stoked.

[@imatsoup1437]

I can't believe this song is a decade old. What a strange expierence to come back and realize that I'm in a different head space, as the song has taken on a whole different meaning for me now. I used to view this as accusatory, but I realized now that it's introspective. Props, this band never gets old and I've always been able to connect to their music. This may be an unpopular opinion, but I really loved the album and dare I say this was one of my favorites, along with Nothing At All.

[@dv5659]

The production is underrated. Taking back Sunday has always had such well produced albums. Their first couple albums were raw but well balanced, this album and this song in particular has such an elegant sound without losing the edge that reflects the poise the band found in this era

[@lloydrocksify]

if Happiness Is is as great as Stood a Chance and Flicker Fade then this'll be their best album

[@Jennibabiiee]

This song is amazing loved this band for years! 💜

[@MyEverythingBurrito]

What people need to keep in mind who complain about how this doesn't sound like "real Taking Back Sunday" is that they're grown up now. They're sound has evolved and developed from the raw angst of Tell All Your Friends to this. They're not in the same place in life or in their maturity as they were back then. I like this song a lot and I think is going to be a really nice, mature album for the band.

I know, right? It's just so fantastic! I love that it sounds like it could have come from "Louder Now", Taking Back Sunday's masterwork.
