sloppy performance sure but one thing this band always brought was the energy. just look at the bassist going off at the breakdown of Brother in Arms at 5:02 lol. they were always fun to see live. gotta say this used to be one of my favorite bands, I got in a nostalgia mood recently and have been binging their albums. Love both Chad and Dylan era.
Back Burner and Wasted Youth were both awesome albums in my opinion. Even Chad said in an interview that he thought Back Burner was awesome and they would definitely play songs off of that in the future. He even said that they might even play stuff off of Wasted Youth too. I would be so stoked for that.
Pretending is one of my fave songs of that shitty album; Dylan fucked up. Brothers in Arms is one of my fave songs; Dylan fucked up. Moral of the story: FTFD will always sound better with Chad
