Great album. I get why Chris gets the credit for STD, but this band was never the same when Eben and Dave left (even Bryan was a great member). Those guys were every bit as much of the STD that I love as Chris.
You've gotta be kidding me!! First Bayside & just a few hours later you treat me to a video of Saves The Day? Oh you guys must really like me. If you're trying to make me happy, you've succeeded, immensely! Thank you!
I saw them at one of their first shows in Middlesex New Jersey. I still have the demo tape they made with the black and white photocopied insert. I think they were charging $3 for it. lol.
I heard about them from sparks the rescue like I’d heard a bit of the album but yeah I like this album I’ve listened 2 it like 10 times a day just found it yesterday
I was the same, I ragged on my little brother for a few years for liking them but I just sat down and listened to all their stuff at the time and just found myself really liking them. Sad they just kind of faded away after in reverie bombed. After stay what you are they were on the cusp of superstardom.
Vocal health issues jeopardized Chris's career. He said the doctor told him if he didn't change the way he sang that he could lose his voice. Thus In Reverie. It bombed so hard (I own it) in spite of a decent push. It was not the album that many fans of Through Being Cool and Stay What You Are would want and it hurt their growth. While they never exploded they recovered and got at least one tune on Madden when that was still a big deal.
I drove home at 2o’clock screaming the words to holly hox, you were the worst forget me nots That so makes sense what you said about songs not being real
I absolutely hate that people need to defend themselves for listening to Morrissey. The songs are great. The lyrics, the music...fuck you if you don't like it... that's a spirit in music that can be lacking, but is necessary
Through being cool is the greatest power pop punk album of all time. Or whatever genre you label it as. It's the best. Not a skipable song on it. You start it you listen straight through
Great album but another great punk band beat them to the punch. Through Being Cool was released by DEVO as a track in the early 80's. Say what you will about DEVO but they were pioneers and truly anti-establishment.
Really liked them up until about 2003. They got progressively worse after that, though Daybreak was a little better than the rest of their post-In Reverie albums
Bryan Newman (actually named in this video) left just when they were “hitting it big” and it was straight downhill from there. Sound change, exodus in members, bad times.
@@1999tenorio yeah. I got to see them at least twice. Once I saw them open up for a really early Coheed and Cambria right as their first album came out. And then I saw them open up for Thursday at the Side Bar in Baltimore. Good Times. Now that we're talking about it I think I'm actually going to listen to their first album haha.
@@ShootYourRadio omg ive seen all those bands you just mentioned in Cleveland! i too am going to listen to the 1st album and send it to my college buddies who used to listen to it with me. good times i have not felt that connected to a genre of music since then. it was an amazing time for concerts
@@1999tenorio haha that's awesome. Sounds like if we grew up together we'd have been friends. But yeah I graduated high school in 2001. All through school and years afterwards all I did was go to shows. I grew up here in Virginia near JMU(James Madison University). They had a festival called MACRock. I think it stood for Mid-Atlantic College radio conference. It used to be bumpin' with good bands. So when I saw The Stryder play with Coheed that was for that festival. But they had a crazy amount of awesome bands come through. UnderOath (with Dallas, I never saw them with the newer singer) Darkest Hour, Hopesfall, New Found Glory played one year, Further Seems Forever, Thursday, etc... I could go on and on. But yeah we definitely grew up in a time with good music.
