"Everybody But You would be on my faves also if Ben Barlow was not involved. That dude can NOT sing for shit anymore."



Ben is talented when he sings in a register where he isn't pushing his vox to their absolute limits, something he insists on doing all the time. And yeah I agree, ADAI was not a good record, my 3/5 I gave it doesn't stand anymore.

The Finer Things > Around The World And Back > this one > Living Proof



By the time The Finer Things was released, I hadn't listened to pop punk for five years and hadn't listened to music for two years. I really thought I had grown up. That afternoon, 3km down the road, that record, made me feel the life force come back into my blood. I didn't know who they were at the time. But I didn't hesitate to run back to music again.

Surprised you rate ATWAB higher than this one, except for the singles I find a lot of that record to be extremely forgettable.

Finer Things> This > Around the World and Back > Living Proof > Their first indepent album. I still think The Story so Far are the real "kings" of pop-punk

One day, when I came home at lunchtime
I heard a funny noise
Went out to the backyard to find out
If it was one of those rowdy boys
Stood there with my neighbor called Peter
And a Flux Capacitor

He told me he built a time machine
Like one in a film I've seen, yeah

He said, "I've been to the year 3000
Not much has changed, but they lived underwater
And your great-great-great-granddaughter
Is doin' fine, doin' fine"

He took me to the future in the flux thing
And I saw everything
Boy bands, and another one, and another one
And another one
Girls there with round hair like Star Wars
Float above the floor

We drove around in a time machine
Like one in a film I've seen, yeah, woo

He said, "I've been to the year 3000
Not much has changed, but they lived underwater
And your great-great-great-granddaughter
Is doin' fine, doin' fine"

I took a ship to the year 3000
This song had gone multi-platinum
Everybody bought our seventh album
It had outsold Kelly Clarkson
I took a ship to the year 3000
This song had gone multi-platinum
Everybody bought our seventh album
(Seventh album, seventh album)

He told me he built a time machine
Like one in a film I've seen, yeah

I've been to the year 3000
Not much has changed, but they lived underwater
And your great-great-great-granddaughter
Is doin' fine, doin' fine, oh

He said, "I've been to the year 3000" (Yeah, yeah)
"Not much has changed, but they lived underwater" (Oh, yeah)
"And your great-great-great-granddaughter
Is doin' fine, doin' fine, doin' fine"

He said, "I've been to the year 3000
Not much has changed, but they lived underwater" (Oh, yeah)
"And your great-great-great-granddaughter
Is doin' fine, doin' fine"

He said, "I've been to the year 3000
Not much has changed, but they lived underwater
And your great-great-great-granddaughter
Is doin' fine, doin' fine"

their best songs are on Around The World And Back. Where Derek Discanio angrily sings from his upper jaw in All You Are Is History is one of the best moments of the band. Lots of emotion and great vocal on that record. This record is so laid back.

The lead singer is very good live. But the band has a bit of a cheesy feel to it. (personal opinion). I prefer to listen to their records.

FYS's guest vocals were so short in Sundress. Oh well, it might be a good listen.

I actually didn't care for them much until I saw them live lol. both the vocalist and lead guitarist had a ton of energy. definitely kinda cheesy but in a charming way. other bands that played with them like Motion City Soundtrack and TWY just seemed burned out by comparison
