    My apologies in regards to questioning the validity of their feelings. I get that it’s personal to Chris and people who resonate with his lyrics and expression (and that people like all their albums). I also apologize that I’m taking a more casual view on the band as someone who loved the first 4 records and didn’t join them for the rest of their artistic journey. I get that there are a lot of people who still love everything they do.
     

    My comment intended to be about the “angry” sound of the music that was introduced on that record and how Sound the Alarm, in general, feels like it’d come in a band’s career before they released their slower, indie pop “mature” record (I feel like it sounds like it’d also come before SWYA). For me, Sound the Alarm and the later records remind me of bands that aren’t as good as Saves the Day and blend in to the crowd more than what they had been doing previously. For me, TBC and SWYA and IR feel like sharper, more focused, more creative albums and it’s interesting that the band actually got angrier (at times) and less focused (IMO) as they went instead of getting slower and more boring (and following the In Reverie path) as many bands do.

    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.
