Mar 16, 2015Easily my favorite album ever. It has sick lead songs, and even the "weaker" songs kick ass. It is very underrated and very underappreciated. Being a follow up to a great debut album, Taking Back Sunday really pushed the boundaries in this pop-punk masterpiece.

Feb 20, 2012The band's second release suffers from poor lyrics and over-familiar song structure. Having said that, 'the Photograph is Proof' and 'Set Phasers to Stun' makes this a more enjoyable listen that their later releases.

MallorySep 28, 2004This CD rocks... What other band could replace half of there band and still remane the same? TBS is a kick ass band. and whatever yall say dont matter... B/c they'll always rock...

TBSTBSSep 21, 2004Even though TBS lost alot of its punch and cleverness (lyricly), i believe this is a good follow-up to Tell all your friends. This album blows away every other so-called "emo" band.

jessicaSep 14, 2004despite what some people are saying, this is an amazing album, definitely one of the best I've heard all year

MattBSep 12, 2004Basically, TBS invented this genre of music, or at least revolutionized it, and to continue in THEIR OWN fashion is NOT a wrong doing. everyone else COPIED THEM...but i love this cd, possibly better than their first, although they over do the staccato beat...but overall it's an excellent album
-
-
lisajSep 10, 2004their biggest problem is that their songs are so sloppy...each song sounds like 10 different songs put together
-
-
YossarianSep 9, 2004Everything you might expect from a sophomore release, though not really a slump. Things get a little more predictable, but consistent. It isn't going to convert anyone, but that isn't the intent. Old fans will be happy, "emo" haters will just hear another crappy cd.

-
UpNorthSep 6, 2004It's just...amazing. REALLY good. Before two days ago I'd never heard of TBS...borrowed this CD, and I'm hooked. MUST get the other one...especialy since people say it's better than this one (I've got Where You Want to Be) Honestly...this band awesome, I really recomend it.

DevinBSep 2, 2004Awful, predictable, insincere, trendfuck "emo" pop bullshit. TBS haven't "become" shit, they've only become worse shit.
