Leaving "The Upsides" Behind
The Wonder Years followed up The Upsides with another classic: Suburbia I've Given You All and Now I'm Nothing. It's basically a pop-punk standard at this point, and is today's topic in the final installment of March Sadness.

The Story So Far's 3rd LP "Self-Titled" came with heavy expectations. Their debut supercharged them as "the one's to watch" in the pop-punk genre. As we await the release of "I Want To Disappear" and listen to "Letterman", let's revisit the album that everyone thinks is their worst. #marchsadness #poppunk #emo #tssf

The Album Pop-Punkers Can’t Shut Up About
🌹🎉
Great review! Fireworks is one of my all-time favorite bands. I played a couple of shows with them in 2006 when they were promoting their EP "we are everywhere". I remember seeing them live for the first time and being amazed at how good this band was. I think the biggest loss was when Tim Rengers left the band, that guy could do no wrong on the drums, he played an unequivocal part in shaping their sound. I do agree that HLP takes some time to grow, Goodnight Tomb is such a great song.
Seasonal depression,cultural divide, separate, and the mosaic one after another blow me away every single time I listen
I had the chance to have a long conversation with Corey a few months ago in his discord where he completely changed my view on not just his bands own works but music in its entirety, he even walked me through some of the personal meanings of the songs on lessons that we swear to keep, definitely a channel I’m gonna keep coming back to!
🔥
Talk about ADTR they would've a better picture of they common courtesy their last. From someone who Worcester early 2000s ADTR will never die.

I only just stumbled onto them about a month or two ago and I can’t find myself wanting to listen to any other band but them. These guys are IT
if they are in your area, please see them live! they are amazing and so full of energy
How much did the delivery take? I wan to preset some Knocked Loose merch
I ordered enough to that shipping was free. It took just over a week to get here (im in the US)
Dude Ranch is their best album 😜
I feel as though if your going to give any negative criticism of a critically acclaimed album then you should at least explain why you think so many other people love it but it's just not for you. (Side eyes at fantano)
For me with Spanish love songs I found them in 2018 and liked Schmitz thought it was really goods in 2020 I heard BFE and fell in love I was like this is best pop punk album since NCTH by TWY this may be the best pop punk album ever made it ended up tied with At The Moonbase by Slaughter Beach Dog for my fav album of 2020 and in 2020 I did a ranking of my top ten pop punk albums ever made and it ended up at number 3 behind NCTH and TGG by TWY. But since 2020 I haven’t listened to it as much and when I do listen to it I’m not as in to it I still love Losers 2 to death but idk I don’t feel like coming back to it ever. When they released No Joy I kinda fell off the band I’ll listen to everything they ever do (simply because once I find out about a pop punk or emo band I’ll listen to everything they ever do no matter what even if I’m not a fan) but I just don’t like them as much. No Joy I didn’t love simply because all the synths ruined that album for me. As for BFE I would def not have it as my third fav pop punk album ever anymore. Albums like copacetic by knuckle puck, okay by as it is, living proof by state champs, the peace and the panic and life’s not out to get you by neck deep and more would all be in front of it now. But to this day when I hear losers 2 my mind is blown. Amazing album and amazing band just not one of my favs anymore
I been a fan of TWY since December 2015 they are my favorite band. The Upsides and Subirbia while awesome albums are my 2 least favorite from them (I don’t count GSOI) there great but the production and vocals still needed work and they perfected that on TGG imo there last 4 albums are all 10/10 (sister cities would be a 10/10 but rain in keyoto I hate so it’s a 9.5/10) I love this band so much
I love 3 cheers. Maybe I'm missing something bc I was born in 99 and grew up as post hardcore was shifting due to the likes of Soasin, but I feel like 3 cheers fits pretty neatly within the phxc genre.
Gans Media is a very beautiful song. Can’t get enough of it!
You rock Al!! Love ya from Uncle Dan.
Arm's Length mentioned.
A vid on IHOW peaked my interest, but a quick Half Hearted Hero reference made me subscribe to the channel Going to work through your videos Big agree that this IHOW album is great! Going to have to revisit it
This is their worst one?? Could've fooled me.
I can’t decide a favorite, they’re all too different, like you expect me to compare the black parade to danger days, or to compare conventional weapons to three cheers? nah man, every single song by them is my favorite
i was blown away with the entire album but the lyrics to john cana are so smart and beautifully crafted. that song resonates so deeply with me
Hey there! Found your channel cuz I recently became absolutely enamored with Arm’s Length. Love your passion for the genre!
You’re right fantano’s wrong, brilliant album. On one of my playlists, your deep rest , and no halo by sorority noise are one after the other, they are great complimentary tracks I’d say. They belong near each other
the best motion city soundtrack album is hands down even if it kills me
I came here mostly to see where Youth Fountain ended up, and I'm not disappointed!
2:00 He's wearing a Little Big League shirt... he could already do no wrong in my eyes
Bro that’s the album that got me into them lol
Neck Deep was the last pop punk band I discovered until 2015. I love them, definitely a huge fan of these guys. ❤
Until 2015?
We had to get Wishful Thinking to get Life’s not out to get you. Sounds like a good deal to me.
The Wonder Years is the only reason I like pop punk. I really dont like most of the other pop punk bands. Im a guy that grew up on punk music. Which is why Im always intested in seeing what bands I like end up on your radar. I have to recommend one band though. Dead To Me. Definitely start with their 1st album and 1st EP
I'm obliged to disagree with your hot take regarding Moth Song... I think the lyricism is absolutely breathtaking. That first verse?! "You flew around where my light goes, And you're chewing holes in all my clothes I let you out, thought you'd go home, But you said your home is where I go." The imagery is as beautiful and haunting as the tune. Other than that, as a fan of pop punk for as long as I can remember, I'm so glad I found this channel. Let's go!
I literally never comment on youtube. But thank you for this. Fireworks was instrumental in keeping me alive through some dark shit and I'm just happy to see other people are just as touched by them as I am. Thanks for making this.
Dude I discovered Free Throw about a month ago leaving a Mom Jeans concert and now I can’t stop playing this new album. I wish these bands were more mainstream nowadays. I feel like more people can relate to them then the 1,000,000th song about positivity on the radio.
Your Deep Rest // Your Deeprest You're depressed. MAN...
Breathe You In is one of my favorite songs of all time. The lyrics of that song is just perfect 🔥
WHAAAAT?!?? NO REAL FRIENDS???
In my personal opinion, I really couldn't tell you whether 3 Cheers or Black Parade is the better album, but I do know that Danger Days is severely overlooked and underrated.
Three cheers is their best album and it's not even close
i love how groove oriented and raw this album. Not as melodic but more raw and in your face. I actually enjoy the album more than USAD. yea i know hot take but all 4 are great
A really nice idea. Also it seems that when it comes to TSSF songs, our tastes are quite similar.
Epic undertaking!
Gospel practically saved my life. Timeless.
You did this at the perfect time. I needed this for my road trip today lol. But for future reference if you plan to do a live, you should post on the community tab ahead of time. Look forward to more!
Im a guy that mostly listened to punk music for 20 years. I went through a bad breakup and I finally opened myself up to emo. I found a lot of great bands that had songs I could relate to. Then I found Arms Length. None of their songs fit my story. My struggle. Yet despite that I could still enjoy the descriptive lyrics. Its much more focused on family than girlfriend. I have my own problems there also. This album perfectly encapsulates the dysfunction of a family, and the difficulties that result because of it.
Crazy to be the top of pop punk when they aren't pop punk. But hey that's cool lmao
I went to their anniversary of "The Greatest Generation" and they're just fuckin top tier musicians all around.
Worst album? Completely disagree. How can the worst album have such incredible songs like "nerve" or "how you are", or "heavy gloom" which are master pieces. Everyone has their opinion but I think it's one of their best, I enjoyed it more than "proper dose" for example which is great but not as good.
FOAMF is definitely overhated, but yes Saviors is infinitely better than it.
I'm surprised to hear Cosmic Thrill Seekers described as "scattershot"--self-titled is incredible, but CTS is the masterpiece in my opinion, the way it all links together, the repeating motifs. A really cinematic experience. Then again, I've always loved Kory's vocals!
First albums I ever bought were enema of the state and Linkin parks "hybrid theory." I already had dude ranch and Chesire cat through gifts from my older cousin when we moved from so cal.
