The best music for your soul
Today was possibly the highlight of my summer.
Anyone that knows me well enough knows that I live by these words : Taking Back Sunday is the best band in the world.
Today, was the release of their new album “ New Again”.
As I drove my car to my local Best Buy in the 1,000,000 degree heat ( trust me, I live in the hottest place on earth) I anxiously picked up “New Again”, ran to my car ( after I paid of course) and popped it into my CD player.
“ Well my dear what long arms you have…all the better to hold you down”.
Yes, after three long years sweet new lyrics hit my ears and I fell in love with Taking Back Sunday all over again, and again, and again, and again.
My volume was at it’s highest, and I was giving my subwoofers a run for their money trying to catch every vibrating emotion coming from Adam Lazzara’s vocal cords.
I’m a lyric kind of girl; catchy lines, witty phrases, sarcastic remarks, goose bump words and meaningful vocals.
Since the bands last album “Louder Now”, they went through line-up changes, fatherhood, and anything else that might trigger a 3-year gap between then and now. Our June issue of A.P Magazine gave us a slight tease of what we were to expect, and because it was set to be all too personal I wanted to be smothered in everything I could possibly take in.
A.P was right, every song is ridiculously good, and there is no hiding what any of the records mean. Each one of them provides and insight of what has happened the past few years. A detailed slide show of a recollection of memories all dug up and thrown onto pieces of paper to be turned into beautiful and poetic melodies.
“ And now I’m staring at the floor…where my second life just ended…where I lost not one but two friends”.
Yeah, Taking Back Sunday is definitely new again.
Best tracks:
New Again ( because it’s obviously good if the album was titled after it).
Where My Mouth Is ( it’s a slow song, the lyrics are clear, and the vocals fantastic, and the acoustic guitar is overpowering any other instrument on the record).
Catholic Knees ( the title is brilliant, enough said).
Everything Must Go ( the most amazing lyrics on the album. Hands down.)
