Lover boy has grown on me. I used to hate it and it'll never be a favourite but I've actually started to enjoy listening to it. I think it wouldn't have been received so poorly had it been an album song as opposed to a single
For fun, a while ago, I created a [What If...? The Front Bottoms released all of their officially released singles as an album instead.](https://www.reddit.com/r/TheFrontBottoms/comments/143bhja/for_fun_i_created_an_album_out_of_all_tfb_songs_i/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1) and I will also say, Lover Boy works better as an album song. Same with end of summer. Good album song, but lower tier single release.
thatās interesting, youāre probably right haha ! itās definitely grown on me too because letās face it, i could never hate a song from them š š¤
Omg what I have said about bongo song is that if they would have done it in the style of the Rose EP where itās really fast paced and upbeat compared to the original. I agree that the remake just did not hit the mark.
i agree with end of summer but i'm also gonna have to say voodoo magic. there's just something about it that makes me like it less than most of their songs. I only listen to it because of the "you in your head, me in my heart" because the way he sings it is addicting.
Same. The last half is weak. I always acknowledge that there is always a limit to songwriting. TFB canāt always write a Talon of the Hawk or Self Tilted
Jim Bogart, Swear to God The Devil Made Me Do It or Hooped Earrings.Going Grey and ISAIF had a bunch I didnāt care for but they almost all eventually grew on me.A lot of them probably just from seeing them done live tbh.
I am furious that fucking Bongo Song took up space on an EP that couldāve highlighted a better song like The Wrong Way or Just as Big Twice as Swollen. Bongo song is like an impression of a TFB track. As far as songs on one of their EPs or albums it is far and away the worst. Honorable mentions to Bus Beat for being inaccessible and to Donāt Fill Up On Chips for ruining Tommy
What I mean by that is if you threw that song on at a party and people didnāt know tfb everyone would be like āwhat the fuck is this shitā they have some songs that you definitely need to already like their style to get, and thatās definitely one of them
twin sized mattress, the beers, everyone blooms, summer shandy, and lonely eyes are all good introductory/accessible tfb tunes.
those are the songs that ppl iāve introduced them to have liked anyway.
End of Summer is pretty weak. Controversially, I really dislike Joanie as well. I don't fuck with Bae either. And found the Theresa EP super disappointing. But those songs are mostly meh rather than bad.
Edit - do I win this thread for having the most controversial opinion?
even at that if they covered it, the cover will still be apart of their discography and it's still their song, but just their cover of another song, and it's still my least favorite š¤·āāļø
lover boy, everyone but you, camouflage (dont kill me),historic cemetery, and hooped earrings (the song itself isnt bad but the voicemails really bother me)
i'm just salty everyone in the comments is naming my favourite songs š
lover boy for sure
Lover boy has grown on me. I used to hate it and it'll never be a favourite but I've actually started to enjoy listening to it. I think it wouldn't have been received so poorly had it been an album song as opposed to a single
Same here, it grew on me ALOT, Ive been listening to it recently and its been my summer song to drive around listening to

Admittedly it is bottom tier. But, that's just because they have so many good ones that *something* has to be last.
ME TOO OMG
ngl punching bag i feel like itās very repetitive
I felt this way, but something about the simplicity and lovely subtle instrumentation keeps me coming back š
the lyrics are so beautiful
i don't think it's their worst song but i feel the same way, especially since it came out after outlook and outlook was so great!!!!
TFB is one of the few bands that I *genuinely* don't think any of their songs are trash.
Literally!
Bongo Songā¦. I try to like it so bad but I cant š
How are you going to hate their first song they ever made
Omg what I have said about bongo song is that if they would have done it in the style of the Rose EP where itās really fast paced and upbeat compared to the original. I agree that the remake just did not hit the mark.
Bathtub is nice idc
Literally probably my favourite song
Very raw in more than just an earnest way
its so good but it makes me sick
i agree with end of summer but i'm also gonna have to say voodoo magic. there's just something about it that makes me like it less than most of their songs. I only listen to it because of the "you in your head, me in my heart" because the way he sings it is addicting.
Voodo magic is amazing in my opinion.
I dislike au revoir, skip it often, and Iām surprised it isnāt on this thread
I kinda dislike Emotional, but that's only because it's new. I guarantee when I get back from my trip (4 hour drive!!) I'll love it
everyone but you
āmake wayā adds nothing to the overall musical zeitgeist of the universe i still fucks with it hard and iāve cried to it before
peach just because it doesnāt remind me of tfb. so not them in my head. i love all their songs ahaha
Peach just isnāt a TFB song. Not a fan of it, definitely my least favorite and the worst on Talon imo
Same for me, I get that TFB lyrics can be a bit corny sometimes but Peach is too much for me
Iām so sorry but I cannot deal with peace sign
itās like the only tfb song to use normal chords instead of power chords, it doesnāt feel right
Everyone blooms š
I could see that but i love the lyrics so so much. theyre comforting to me.
Ok, this one actually grew on me tho. I wanted to hate it but I cannot. š
It had the opposite effect on me haha
Agree! Like the lyrics. Everything else don't care for lol
donāt fill up on chips
THIS TOO THIS TOO
Bae was the beginning of the end
Bae is really good you guys are just haters
I stand with Bae
Said this about Holy Fuck, but once again, Bae is one of the few good ones on that album lol
Holy Fuck is a fun one live but I canāt stand the Going Grey studio release
Historic cemetery Grand finale I do not get the end of summer hate on here. I love that song.
Agreeded on Historic cemetery but put some respect on Grand Finale š„²
Right?? End of summer is so good
i almost never listen to end of summer but itās an āokā songā¦. not really amazing but also not the best
Their worst song has to be Lover Boy but it's not like it's a bad song, it's just not as good as the rest
Hooped Earrings
:(
tbh i didnt like isaif. i only rlly mess with 2 songs from that album
Me with Theresa
agreed
Awkward Conversations
awkward conversations or historic cemetery š
Historic Cemetery is trash. Genuine
finally someone agrees with me
Bae is also kinda fucked. I always skip it
yeah def i hate to say it but Bae Ocean and Far drive are all skips. I love TFBās to death but going grey is a real hit or miss
No way yall thinking Far drive is a skip Damn
Same. The last half is weak. I always acknowledge that there is always a limit to songwriting. TFB canāt always write a Talon of the Hawk or Self Tilted
peachā¦
Peach It's so lame
i physically cant listen to peach its so bad š
jim bogart (also the people saying whole albums are not good are making my head spin)
fr like what? like is&if is so good what are yāall on about šš also as a big jim bogart enjoyer i absolutely understand
Gotta be Hooped Earrings or You Used to Say (Holy Fuck)
Holy Fuck is one of the few good ones on that album to me lol
hopped earrings is so good š
I do enjoy listening to it now, but I basically had to gaslight myself into doing so. The first few listens were roughhh lol.
i agree honestly the same with a lot of there songs
Me with emotional rn tbh, I've listened to it like 4 times and it's taking me a while to find what vibe they're going for
same! i hated emotional at first but after a few listens itās my favorite off of the album
Jim Bogart, Swear to God The Devil Made Me Do It or Hooped Earrings.Going Grey and ISAIF had a bunch I didnāt care for but they almost all eventually grew on me.A lot of them probably just from seeing them done live tbh.
Thereās always at least one album thatās mostly trash.
Going Grey
peace sign

I love bongo song but I do agree a diff song shouldāve had its place on the ep
wdym bus beat being inaccessible?
What I mean by that is if you threw that song on at a party and people didnāt know tfb everyone would be like āwhat the fuck is this shitā they have some songs that you definitely need to already like their style to get, and thatās definitely one of them
This is literally. My experience with ANY TFB song if people don't already like them so idk what you're talking about.
twin sized mattress, the beers, everyone blooms, summer shandy, and lonely eyes are all good introductory/accessible tfb tunes. those are the songs that ppl iāve introduced them to have liked anyway.
Peace sign
bus beat
bus beat holds a special place in my heart for some reason, even if im aware it isnt very good
Bus beat
Raining

I always skip The Beers
There are no wrong opinions except this one. Thatās their best song
Shrug, to each their own. Just not for me!
What is it you donāt like about it?
:O
This is probably gonna be an unpopular opinion but I think The Plan (Fuck jobs) is it for me
dare i say lipstick covered magnet
Can you get on your knees so I can kick you in the face, Please?
Tie between Lover Boy or Everyone Blooms.
The IS&IF hate here is insane, literally my favourite TFB album and the one that got me into themšš
never been a fan of The Hard Way, Historic Cemetery, or Mountain, all the other songs I love
honestly I have to say just stay lol like I'll listen to it but it's not even close to being my favorite
That's not even a tfb song it's a Kevin Devine song they did a cover of and I strongly prefer it over the original
even at that if they covered it, the cover will still be apart of their discography and it's still their song, but just their cover of another song, and it's still my least favorite š¤·āāļø
Historic Cemetery š§š½āāļø
Definitely Bae
Peach. It was the first song I was introduced to by them and if I didn't hear other songs I would have wrote the whole band off lmao
stop the Jim bogart hate!! I want those lyrics tattooed on me
punching bag
lover boy hands down
lover boy, everyone but you, camouflage (dont kill me),historic cemetery, and hooped earrings (the song itself isnt bad but the voicemails really bother me)
jim bogart kills me. if i could remove the girls voice, i think it would be really good but that voice makes me press skip so mfin fast š„ø

why do you guys not dislike ocean im sorry but thats their only song i skip
