  
When Taking Back Sunday blasted onto the scene
back in 2002 with their debut album ‘Tell
All Your Friends’ the post-hardcore scene
went into a mad frenzy with the album getting
rave reviews across the board and people snapping
the album up making it one of the greatest post-hardcore
albums of its time and thinking back now all ten
tracks on the album had the potential to be released
as singles as the 33minute running album was solid
from start to finish.
Back in 2012 Taking Back Sunday embarked on a
tour across American playing ‘Tell All Your
Friends’ in its entirety to mark the tenth
anniversary of the album release, the tour was
extremely successful and luckily for everyone
who was or wasn’t in attendance Taking Back
Sunday captured the key moments of the tour and
have now created a live CD/DVD bundle called ‘TAYF10
Acoustic’ which features the whole of ‘Tell
All Your Friends’ played live and acoustic
in the form of a CD and DVD yet the DVD has various
bonus content such as back stage footage, mini
interviews and also a lot of interaction between
the band and the crowd as they talk about the
history of Taking Back Sunday.
It is great to hear the likes of ‘You Know
How I Do’, ‘Bike Scene’, ‘Cute
Without The E (Cut From The Team)’, ‘Ghost
Man On Third’, ‘Great Romances Of
The 20th Century’, ‘Timberwolves Of
New Jersey’ in acoustic format yet it is
even better to see them played acoustic to see
the passion the band put into every moment and
the joy that the fans give out as Adam Lazzara
and co play this stripped down classic songs.
‘TAYF10 Acoustic’ is an essential
purchase for all Taking Back Sunday fans as it
is good to hear the classic songs played in a
stripped down format and it is also good to hear
the various different stories that Taking Back
Sunday have to share within the footage, the band
are currently hard at work on album number 6 and
I am sure this will keep the fans entertained
until the new material is ready to be heard.
4.5/5
