hmmmm..

AIRIC 07-18-2006 07:04 PM

I thought against me were metal :confused:

EDIT: Actually, if you were reffering to how overrated both albums are, you'd be correct.

Clash blows Against Me! out of the park.


Even bands that made fun of Clash praised them.

Angry Balled Fists! 07-19-2006 02:27 AM

As the Eternal Comboy is their best album.

Flagjacket 07-19-2006 02:37 AM

ABF is right.

Angry Balled Fists! 07-19-2006 03:06 AM

Whey.

RAR always used to be, but i've found it to get a little tiring while as ATEC never gets old. Every song is amazing.

Anarcho Poser 07-19-2006 06:56 AM

Both albums have their strong and weak songs. I think ATEC is more uniformly good, but RAR has four or five of their best songs.

Angry Balled Fists! 07-19-2006 06:59 AM

That's pretty much it.

ibanezman575 07-19-2006 07:23 AM

well ATEC is certainly my favorite
and Searching For a Former Clarity is boring imo

Angry Balled Fists! 07-19-2006 07:24 AM

I still love it.

RAR has 7 or so amazing songs but there are a few average ones too; like scream it until your coughing up blood and the politics of starving.

Right on the money. Also, RAR had several shi[FONT="Verdana"]t[/FONT]tier versions of some songs in my opinion, like I Still Love You Julie and Walking Is Still Honest. I thought the Crime versions of those songs were better.

sketchyjoe 07-19-2006 08:32 AM

The best songs on RAR are easily better than the best songs on ATEC.

TakeWarning 07-19-2006 08:37 AM

ATEC:
TSR
Cliche Guevara
Sink Florida Sink
Turn Those Clapping Hands...

RAR:
Pints Of Guiness Make You Strong
I Still Love You Julie
Scream It Until You're Coughing Up Blood
Those Anarcho Punx Are Mysterious
Reinventing Axl Rose
Walking Is Still Honest

The ones are RAR are essentially my top 6.

Angry Balled Fists! 07-19-2006 09:08 AM

[B]ATEC:[/B]
T.S.R
Sink Florida Sink
Unsubstantiated Rumours
Angry Balled Fists (:cool:)
Then, Slurring the Rhythms, Rice and Bread and You Look Like I Need A Drink are all on par with me.

[B]RAR:[/B]
[U]Pints of Guinness...[/U]
[U]Reinventing Axl Rose[/U]
I Still love You Julie
Jordans First Choice
[U]Those Anarcho Punx...[/U]
[U]Walking Is Still honest[/U]

Overall, i prefer listening to ATEC because of the quality, it's faster and sharper etc.

But RAR has the big guns like the underlined songs.

Clashed 07-19-2006 09:16 AM

I saw them play at Warped...
I was dissapointed...

ThisUserIsAPipebomb 07-19-2006 10:05 AM

RAR is way better than ATEC.

ATEC is the first Against Me! I heard and it's an amazing album. It will always hold a dear place in my heart. RAR changed my entire outlook on punk and the state of things. RAR influences my musical career more than any other album out there. It's straight up one of the best things ever written by anyone on the planet.

ATEC is an amazing album, but RAR is still better.

POINTLESS5448 07-19-2006 10:06 AM

i was and i wasnt. i wasnt because they played a good show but i was becasue they only played one song from rar.

ATEC is a collection of songs

SfaFC is an album. Its meant to be listened to as a whole, not song for song. thats the only way you can possibly grasp the concept and go on the journey. I love all three albums, but Clarity is just brilliant in the most extreme sense of the word.

ibanezman575 07-19-2006 12:05 PM

....right

I expect to be. If not because of the setlist, because of the crowd/atmosphere.

obese_breasts 07-19-2006 01:07 PM

The crowd when I saw them was pretty cool. The setlist was mediocre, only song from RAR was Pints of Guiness

iam2000pounds 07-19-2006 01:13 PM

I got to the warped tour fifteen minutes too lates to see them. :( They were the reason I went.

Angry Balled Fists! 07-19-2006 01:14 PM

They exceeded my expectations when i saw them for their own show, and i had really high expectations.

SfaFC was really boring. No energy. I don't know s[SIZE="2"]hi[/SIZE]t about a journey, nor do I care. My punk rock isn't about journeys.

They really fell apart as far as a driving force for the band goes. They just lost it.

obese_breasts 07-19-2006 01:45 PM

They were amazing when I saw them headlining back in the fall. It was one of the best shows I have ever been to.

This isn't even a valid opinion. It's just plain wrong.

SFAFC is a piece of ****. It really is. The thing about Against Me! before they released that **** was that every single second of every song held more passion than most people have ever heard out of a band. Every lyric and chord held more meaning than most of the music we listen to. SFAFC lacked everything that is Against Me! and as such a big fan I'm honestly ashamed that they put that out.
