I really like this response. My first album of theirs was SWYA, but I listened to TBC after and was blown away. One of my all-time favorite records. I just think it's one of the pinnacles of pop punk. That being said, my other favorite record of theirs is Sound The Alarm haha. It's just so interesting seeing kind of...the unraveling of his mind and a complete shift where you can tell he's kind of gone off the rails. It feels more emo and angsty and raw. I definitely know that's not for everyone because I think his voice can be incredibly hit or miss post In Reverie.
I think 9 is just an absolute mess. It's got some cool stuff like 27 and Suzuki, but Chris' voice and the production decisions are the absolute worst on that album.
