I've always wondered who they're taking back Sunday from, and when they'll ever get it back. And if their plans will spread to other days. I'd like to take back Wednesday, myself.

I don't think they'll ever be able to completely liberate Sundays though. There's just so many Christians out there.
I give 'em an 'A' for effort, though.

I remember an old Victory Records commercial that came out a few years ago, it promoted Hawthorne Heights' first album.
"First they brought you 'Thursday'"
"Then they gave you 'Taking Back Sunday'"
"Now presenting...'Hawthorne Heights'"
"VICTORY"
I was definitely hoping the third band would have something to do with Monday, cause I hate mondays, but oh well. Anyone know what label "Hey Monday" is signed to?

I'm completely stoked for new stuff from them. I feel like it's been a damn long time. Well it has been about three years, so technically yeah it has been "ahhhhwhile." "Cute With The "E" (Cut From The Team) is still one of my all-time favorite songs. No matter what this all sounds like, I'm sure I'm going to love it and I'm predicting a good peak from this song. It sucks that nothing from "Tell All Your Friends" did anything because I think it was their best album out of the three. However, their debut singles from their last two albums "A Decade Under The Influence" & "MakeDamnSure" peaked in the Top 20 on Alternative while their other singles didn't follow up as much (except maybe Liar (It Takes One To Know One) at #21)

Is everybody up to date now? Did you take notes? There will be a quiz later.

For what it's worth, in 2007 before Thursday signed with Epitaph, they took a meeting with Wind-Up Records. Geoff Rickly says:
"They were talking to me about how I'd cut my hair, and my hair is the longest it's ever been, and she's saying something about my moves--this one particular thing, which I don't do. Then she's talking about our hits and stuff, and it totally dawned on me: 'She totally thinks we're Taking Back Sunday. F*ck. This is so awkward.' They sent me out of there with 100 CDs of bands I don't like. I tried to trade them in, but no one wanted them, so I ended up giving them to this homeless dude... I had to keep a few, 'cause my dad's guilty pleasure is Evanescence."

My favorite thing is a week a few years ago where Starland Ballroom in New Jersey booked Taking Back Sunday on a Thursday and Thursday on a Sunday.

Just out of curiosity, where'd you find that story? |

Just out of curiosity, where'd you find that story? The March 2009 issue of Alternative Press, #248.2. The Taste of Chaos issue with Thursday on the cover. (#248.1, the one I was mailed, has Bring Me the Horizon (  ) on the front.) |

That's actually never made sense to me about Alternative Press. Why would they give their subscribers an exclusive cover of some no-name band that no one gives a shit about and give their buyers the one everyone likes? Seems kind of like they're dicking them over.

Seems kind of like they're dicking them over. Oh, no it's not like that at all. Half got the Thursday cover, half got the BMTH cover. Not that this instance was a huge deal, but I would've preferred the Thursday cover. I'm just glad two years ago that when they had two covers for their side project cover story, I got sent the Blaqk Audio version instead of the hideous picture of Aaron Gillespie on the front. They actually used to give subscribers exclusive cover photos pretty regularly, but they haven't done one in awhile. And if you think BMTH are "some no-name band that no one gives a shit about," then you've become just as "out of touch" as I am, weary of watching "my" magazine cater more and more to hideously coiffed upstart bands whose music I've never heard (and usually don't need to to determine they suck), that caters exclusively to teenagers. |

Actually I was just saying that cause everyone on Absolute Punk seems to hate that band and I kind of use them as a barometer of where the scene is going.

I like this. I find that the song feels a bit rushed though, but it does have a good beat and I love the part where it gets quiet and he screams xD.

Oh man, I LOVED "MakeDamnSure" but this is very mediocre to me. It is by far their weakest first single. I was highly anticipating this too. Oh well, hopefully the rest of the album is better. I predict a peak of #15- 20 on Alt.

understandable, its definitely a decent tune, its just that MakeDamnSure was such an epic lead single that this is just disappointing

Album leaked. Already think it's better than Louder Now. "Swing" I expect to be a single at some point.
