YC, NFG, Brand New, TBS, FOB, STD all good (or at least passable) records. Neighborhoods and Danger Days are bad records. Haven't heard new Say Anything or that Ataris record.

never understood why Daisy got such a terrible reception.

Pretty sure we've been posted about on AP.net on a consistent basis for two years now

I wish they wrote another one that was just straight up pop rock. It's really great.

New Again deserves no second chances.

I'd like that, especially since their last couple of albums didn't quite hit the mark.

Totally agree that Lights and Sounds is criminally underrated. Also agree that blink missed out big time in promoting Neighborhoods (I still think that Wishing Well as the lead single could have put them back on the map in a much bigger way.)

Radiosurgery is the only one that felt totally re-hashed to me. Not Without a Fight had some gems on it.

I back that whole blurb on Folie hard. I fucking hated that album in 8th grade when it came out, love it as a senior. I still think 27, w.a.m.s., West Coast Smoker, Tiffany Blews and I Don't Care are terrible songs, but everything else has grown on me. I'd consider Headfirst Slide into Cooperstown on a Bad Bet the best song Patrick ever released and Water Buffalos and What a Catch aren't far behind. But boy did that album piss me off when it came out.

I didn't know anyone liked it until I started coming to AP.net a few years back. All of my friends in middle school hated it and all the Fall Out Boy fans I met in high school hated it too. Apparently it's everyone's favorite here.

QFT. Only completely unredeemable TBS album. Even Where You Want To Be had some real gems.

Other albums that come to mind:

Bad Religion - No Substance
The Offspring - Splinter
Rise Against - Appeal To Reason
Smashing Pumpkins - Machina/The Machines Of God
Underoath - Lost In The Sound Of Separation.

Splinter was a fucking great album. The last good one they made.
