46. The Wonder Years - The Greatest Generation [2013]
please don't hate me for this..xD.
A pop punk (Or should I say pop with distortion guitars..) album by The Wonder Years.
This was one of the first bands I listened to, so when this album came out I gave it a try out of nostalgia, Even though I didn't really care too much for the band anymore.
But this album totally got me back into them. I got emotionally invested with this album. The music itself is just catchy (very poppy) punk music, just less happy sounding than their early albums. But the music really compliments the lyrics, which are probably the reason I got so attached to the album. To me the whole album is about emotion. Soupy's lyrics are very personal yet relateable at the same time. It's not meaningless pop punk. In the last song they kind of tie many of the sings together. I guess you could say this album the last part of their trilogy with the general theme of ''growing up''. ''The Upsides'', '' Suburvia I've Given You All And Now I'm Nothing'', ''The Greatest Generation''.
Oh and yeah, we definitely need a Fugazi album here..
I'd pick Repeater.
Still want to listen to that At The Drive in album, I like what I've heard from it on youtube, but that was a pretty long time ago. Should've listened to that album a lot earlier.
