Taking Back Sunday Album: “Notes From the Past”

Just repackaged tunes from albums you probably already have. The two new tracks--the final two on the album--aren't very good, either. Definitely not what I was hoping for.

This has all the best of the old. Nothing New. If you bought one of the early editions of Tell All Your Friends you probably didn't get The Ballad of Sal Villanueva or Your Own Disaster. Worth it as a gift or for the truly dedicated.

this CD is obviously for people who haven't heard much of TBS but want to explore them without spending too much money. that's awesome how they have your own disaster and the ballad of sal villanueva, two very old classic tbs songs. now if they released an actual CD from when antonio and jesse were in the band that'd just be sweet.

you're down

for sellin me out

while i play dumb

its cool cuz i let you

thought i'd never catch you

you'd say we're only friends

yeah real good friends i bet i bet...

While this may be a good introduction to TBS's first two albums, one would be better off buying those two albums instead of this one. The first two records I would give four stars to each.Everything on this album except the last song have already been released on the first two records

All of these songs have been previously released. The songs are great, but this is just Victory Records trying to make money from TBS's fame that came with their first major release. There's nothing new here. If you don't have the older albums, I recommend buying them instead of this. The first album is exceptional. As for the last song, you can buy it separately through iTunes because that's the easiest way to get it, other than stealing it, of course (which you shouldn't do if you want to support the band!).
