I fucking wish. they only came around where I live once that I can remember (which is weird) and I was on the other side of the country

Demi I jammed them like a year ago when you told me to, but then I didn't listen to them again until about maybe two months ago, since when its been nonstop

ive been listening to them for 2 years

GBCW = Scrambles > Adults!!! > Vacation = Album Minus Band > TLoD > Get Warmer



imo, but i wayy overplayed TLoD when i first got into it

Album Rating: 5.0

funny thing is, I listened to ASOB before I listened to BTMI, even though BTMI had been around for a few years at that point. I didn't have a good first impression of BTMI but I loved ASOB so I didn't really give them a chance for a while

Album Rating: 5.0

If TLoD was a bit longer and stayed consistent while doing so, it may be my favorite album ever.

They were one of the first bands I discovered on sputnik back in 2011 when the Vacation thread was blowing up but I listened Shit That You Hate and then never again until kman started his crusade

I started with ASOB's Radiohead covers. I don't even remember how or why. And so it turned me off of them for a long time. But Three Cheers is amazing.

Album Rating: 5.0

i didn't have a good impression with either for some reason, and i still don't like three cheers as much as any btmi album



but yeah took me awhile to come around to jeff and his wacky antics. which is odd because i was into ska (streetlight manifesto, catch 22, choking victim, leftover crack, rancid and operation ivy mostly) hard for years before jamming btmi at all, even though i first heard of em in like 2009 i just didn't bother (prob cuz some scene chick told me about em and i didnt trust her music taste... silly young me). now i love btmi way more than any of those bands



i probably wouldn't have appreciated them as much at 16 as i did when i was an official "twentysomething" anyways so whatever. but i do often wonder

That's kind of how I was with ska. I listened to a shitload of it, but it took me forever to check out Streetlight, who I still believe recorded the best ska album ever, even though I now prefer BTMI overall.

Album Rating: 5.0

yeah I've gotta say, listening to them as a twentysomething now as compared to a teenager when I first heard them is a huge difference. I appreciate them so much more now, and they were one of my favorite bands even then. so that's saying something

Album Rating: 5.0

catch 22 made the best ska album if u ask me. tho they're pretty much proto-streetlight on Keasbey lol.



SLM actually got me into ska at 9th grade, they were pretty popular at my school among the "stoner/musician" crowd. yet no one talked about btmi

Album Rating: 5.0

Catch-22 sure got around to releasing bullshit hard and fast after Tomas left though. I think they had like two good songs without him.

Damn so I'll like them even more when I'm 20+? Fuckin sweet

in high school I was alllll about political punk and the works, and my friends were into metal and harcore, but we all had common grounds in ska I used to be huge into ska, which got me into ASOB through Streetlight's last.fm station I believe

Are you referring to BTMI or Streetlight, Mx?

Btmi have never been big, the only people who knew about them for a long time were people who were really into ska

Btmi broke up while they were increasing in popularity at a rapid rate so I wonder if that had anything to do with them breaking up apart from every other reason

Album Rating: 5.0

yeah Rowan, the lyrics become so much better as they become more relatable. not sure if that's really a great thing though haha

Album Rating: 5.0

oh I was referring to BTMI, liking them more now

Album Rating: 5.0

Or fucking ASOB? Fuck.



Have you jammed any Streetlight or ASOB yet, Row? I recommend both hard. I know you're a lyric man too, and Tomas Kalnokey is like the best lyricist ever.
