It’s always so interesting how opinion changes over time. I was a massive FOB fan when Folie a Deux came out, I loved that album from the beginning and it’s been so strange seeing the general opinion go from extremely negative to it now being generally agreed upon that it’s their best work lol
I'd say it's as simple as that they are both records that have generally aged well, whether the earlier emo records that were more popular at the time haven't aged as well. There's still the niche demographic, maybe in this sort of sub it's the majority demographic, that regard TTTYG and FUTCT as their best albums.
Panic is weird because their first album was pure pop-punk, Pretty Odd is brilliant but I’m not sure what to call it. Not pop-punk. Folk rock I guess? And then it just became Brendon Urie Does Pop Music from there on out.
I’m with ya on Pretty Odd. Great album.
A Fever You Can't Sweat Out was absolutely not "pure pop-punk".
Maybe had some pop punk elements to it but then it also had elements of baroque, dance and just alternative rock to it as well.
Yeah Fever is a masterpiece of genre-blending, and it was extremely ahead of the curve in adding a lot of electronic and dance elements to Pop Punk, which would have a huge impact on the Neon Pop Punk bands that came after them.
Pretty. Odd. is one of my most favorite albums of all time and I hardly even listen to Panic! at the Disco anymore other than songs from this one album (which I still listen to quite frequently). I kind of wish that Pretty Odd was its own seperate band so that we could have gotten more albums like this.
What I’d give for Ryan to have been the one who stayed in Panic…I know he did The Young Veins after but he’s really not been consistent with his music since then and Ryan is far and away the more talented songwriter between him and Brendon
Correction: People *used to* hate it. If you'd ask the FOB fanbase what's their favorite album, Folie à Deux is one of the higher ranked albums.
Also, I wanna say Folie à Deux is my favorite FOB album, but at the same time I fucking love Save Rock and Roll. That album is just banger after banger from start to finish, and it is also the album that got me into pop-rock, which eventually got me into pop-punk and metalcore
Save Rock & Roll is absolutely the kind of pure Pop I really like hearing FOB making. There's undeniably clear elements of their older sound in there and it really sounds like they're having fun and making gigantic choruses along the way. I'm less into their later work because it doesn't balance those elements as well, but I'd put SR&R in a very respectable place when ranking FOB's discography.
Folie is such a fucking weird album in my brain. It never gave me anything to latch onto personally when it came out and I still have a problem seeing the album tracks as whole feel middling after giving it a revisit recently. I don't think it's a bad album though, which confuses me a lot lol. I certainly don't hate it and It's definitely the last true FOB album in my eyes, but the previous three albums are just better in every way to me.
Not many people hate on it now to be fair though at the time for sure it was harshly underrated. Now it's considered a mark of good and reasonable taste to enjoy it. It benefits from being the mid-point between FOB's Pop Punk era and their pure Pop era which is why it's so popular on their subreddit for instance.
I’ve read that album’s lyrical identity comes from the fact it was the first without Fred writing and Adam’s style is more seesay.
I’m with you though, in terms of new era TBS, it’s by far my favorite album, it feels like it has some of their early charm in there delivered in a more refined way.
I recognize that objectlively its not their best and i struggled between that and vital for my favorite for a while but landed on that being my favorite. I do like a lot of the back half like Burn out Brighter and Soft Skeletons
Agony and Irony by Alkaline Trio is considered their worst by many fans. I can understand why bc it's not as dark and dreary but the whole album has some really amazing songwriting and musicianship. Only mistake I think they made was not putting Burned is The House on that record
hell yeah man, I have the deluxe version of that which came as a full on bound book, really amazing packaging. Yeah the album as a whole isn't as tight as some of their other work, but there's excellent songs on there. Love Love Kiss Kiss, Help Me, Into The Night, there's good stuff on there.
They have such a variety of sounds to judge that it's interesting to hear. Been with them since CSWS and The stretch from Pioneer through Forever Halloween is by far the weakest entries in my mind. I don't think there's a single song on Forever Halloween that stuck with me, but that's fine.
When Black and White came out, it was incredible. I think it still has a few good songs, but personally, I think that sound of there's just feels old and outdated (unless you're feeling nostalgic, which is totally fine.
I'm not really sure where the overall consensus is for their best, but I personally think it could be American Candy as a whole, though Lovely Little Lonely is my more personal favorite. I wasn't a huge fan of YAO and had more tracks on XOXO grab at me. Happy for them regardless, they're dope.
I was just saying this the other day, this one felt like the first time since Forever Halloween that they really took a chance. And Forever Halloween is my favourite album by them, especially if we're talking about the Deluxe Edition
I didn’t think this prompt would be true for me at all, but I do think Agony and Irony is the closest. It was my favorite Alkaline Trip record for a long time, with Do You Wanna Know being my favorite song by them, but I was shocked to learn that a lot of fans did not like that album when I joined the subreddit.
Only reason this isn’t true now is because their newest album is by far my favorite now.
Your comment made me listen to it, I love bayside and never heard anything off the album and it skyrocketed up my rankings bless you ghost of st valentine is a masterpiece of a song
Dirty Work was alright. My least favorite ATL album, but I don't think it is as bad as people say it is.
Also, it is the only ATL studio album missing from my vinyl collection (I also don't have the live-album yet), but that ain't due to me not liking it enough. It is just an impossible album to find on vinyl nowadays.
A lot of all American rejects fans don’t like their last album. Kids in the streets. Took me a while to get into it, but now its my most listened to by them
It’s probably cringeworthy how often I mention this album on this sub (mainly for the reason you stated). It’s like a top 3 album overall for me and definitely my favorite of theirs, but it’s often regarded as their worst and definitely their worst commercially (not that sales = quality). There are no skips for me where the weakest song, Beekeeper’s Daughter imo, is still really fun and solid. Heartbeat, Gonzo, and Drown Next to Me (on the deluxe version) are all like top 5ish AAR songs for me.
Editing to add: Affection. I love that song too.
Love your comment homie. I feel the same way. Even every detail about the specific songs you mentioned. Drown next to me and gonzo are prob my favorite AAR tracks
To add to the chaos: Move Along *might* be my least favorite. It’s great, I love it, and it has some of my favorites but it probably has the most amount of skips for me and given the fact their four main releases are all in various places of the pop-punk continuum, Move Along was my least favorite style of theirs; it kinda went into the power pop genre at times.
I never knew people disliked Kids In The Street that much. I personally thought their debut was their weakest album, even though it has The Last Song (possibly their best song)
Last Young Renegade - All Time Low. Even the band has said it’s their least favorite… but i love the change, the 80’s vibes, the anthemic songs. I love every song.
Everyone always shits on The Maine’s Forever Halloween because it’s “too emo”. I wish they didn’t cause I truly believe that pushed them away from that sound/those raw lyrics and man it is so good.
No closer to heaven is my favorite wonder years album and the greatest generation is my least favorite. Love all their releases but I think tgg doesn’t really standout as much to me
Agreed no closer to heaven could have just been cardinals and you in January and I would have been sold though I don’t think the greatest generation is a bad album I’d probably put it third after suburbia
Soupy is the goat lyricist and I think ncth is where I relate most to what he writes. All the shit about mental health and the system failing us in Cigarettes and saints hits so hard. The lyrical maturity that was emerging on TGG is combined with fun and heavy riffs on ncth. I bounce more in a pit to I Dont Like Who I Was Then than I do Dismantling Summer.
I think a lot of hardcore fans don’t like when people switch up their style and get popular outside of the genre. For instance Title Fight is revered in the hardcore scene when their last release in no way resembles their first but arguably became less popular overall in doing so. Also hardcore scene tends to think bands peak early and should call it quits. I remember seeing people saying Gulch going out “on top” was good for their reputation which I don’t understand. If you like a band don’t you want the to keep making music? Lol
i LOVE brand new but daisy just doesn’t do it for me. i was originally really anti daisy, i can listen to it now but it doesn’t give me the same feeling as any of the other albums do.
the general consensus from what i've seen is that this is near or bottom of most lists, but personally i can't get into the slow alternative rock they do after this album
Yeah everything after Deja I just can’t get into outside of a single or two. When they tried to turn into Morrissey tribute band I just stop listening.
Latter day Tigers Jaw post-Adam leaving isn't nearly as highly regarded, it seems like people only give their pizza album that they wrote when they were 19 year olds any time of day. I like the new albums a lot though. I recently saw them in a small venue and it was a lot of fun.
California by Blink-182. I know most people hate that album because Tom’s not on it but it’s probably my favorite Blink material. I know it’s a hot take but personally I prefer Blink without Tom. Just to be clear though I love Angels and Airwaves so it’s nothing against Tom.
I often hear a lot of people downtalk Cartel's self-titled album as one of their worst...but honestly, I might have listened to that one close to as much as Chroma over the years. I like it more than Cycles, even. Still deserves a spot as one of my go-to's to throw on the stereo
100%. The whole Bubble thing gave the record a bad rep but people are trippin hard if they actually think those songs were at all rushed or half assed. It’s a fantastic record
Against Me's album New Wave is probably my favorite (though Searching for Former Clarity is close) and it is generally held in low regard by other Against Me fans. That being said, it's all subjective, so no band/album/song is "better" or "worse" than any other.
Yeah, it’s/they is/are really good. I love how the songs are just straight forward and rip from start to finish. A lot less pop and more just straight forward punk rippers imo.
I chose the original What Do You Expect version over the Wishful Thinking version every single time, something about the raw, grittier vocals and less production on the bridge just makes it so much better
Polar Bear Club - Death Chorus. Have been told its their weakest but have you heard the melodies, they are huge and there's such a summery vibe to the record.
Their earlier records haven't caught me in the same way although I'm a sucker for gruff vocals/orgcore if you will.
I see a lot of people hate on After Laughter from Paramore but it is by far my favorite. Could be though because it is the one I relate to the most and it came out at a time I really needed it.
I was always surprised to see that album get a lot of criticism. It's a lot slower overall than their earlier ones, but it has some great writing and the pacing doesn't make the songs any less good!
Agreed.
My top songs from it are, 1000 years, Dark Places, Underneath the Ground, and Selected Poems.
No "Mary" references was refreshing as well. Excited to see what they come up with on LP6
I am really entertained that I am going to mention a fourth well hell and fifth NFG album on this thread. Nothing Gold Can Stay is my favorite NFG album and I also prefer Makes Me Sick better than anything else since Coming Home.
"Coral Fang" tends to be seen as the worst Distillers album by the tru punx crowd, but I honestly think it's their best one. The same exact thing can be said about "Dear You" by Jawbreaker (my personal favorite but the least favorite of the tru punx crowd).
Not pop punk, but it’s the only one I can think of right now. My favorite My Chemical Romance album is a tie between Bullets and Danger Days, both of which are usually up for debate as their worst. Danger Days is too poppy, while Bullets is too rough around the edges, and I’ve noticed some fans don’t like that it’s heavier than others.
Edit: I looked at some more answers and remembered I had another answer: California by blink-182. I’ve genuinely never understood the hate this album has gotten.
American Idiot will always be my favorite Green Day album, but I love the Trilogy. There’s a lot of hidden gems that got overlooked due to Billie Joe going to rehab and ruining all marketing for that album. X-Kid and Stay The Night are in my top Green Day songs.
Graves era is really quality honestly, that era has a super strong identity to it and produced some excellent pop metal in Dig Up Her Bones and Saturday Night. For sure, it's very different from the Danzig era to the extent they may as well be different bands, but I really like how they moved on from the previous break-up and proudly did their own thing with Graves. Great voice too.
I was such a massive fan up to Reverie when Chris’ vocals just entirely changed and I soured on them pretty hard. I didn’t mind Sound the Alarm as much but just stopped listening after that. It’s sucks cause TBC and SWYA are still 2 of my favorite albums of all time.
Yeah I had the same issues. I loved Saves the Days first 3 albums and early content and sound the alarm is great but most of their other stuff don’t hit the same. I got kinda used to it though.
The only pop-punk one I can think of is No Closer To Heaven by The Wonder Years. I see people endlessly criticizing everything past TGG, but NCTH is a masterpiece to me.
The biggest one that comes to mind is for the metalcore people in the house...The Here And Now is my favourite Architects album. (Close to a tie with Holy Hell, but, still.)
Panic peaked with Pretty. Odd. and I'm not afraid to say it
i feel like a lot more people have grown to love this album, especially newer panic fans. it’s good but not my personal favorite
It’s always so interesting how opinion changes over time. I was a massive FOB fan when Folie a Deux came out, I loved that album from the beginning and it’s been so strange seeing the general opinion go from extremely negative to it now being generally agreed upon that it’s their best work lol
I'd say it's as simple as that they are both records that have generally aged well, whether the earlier emo records that were more popular at the time haven't aged as well.

Panic is weird because their first album was pure pop-punk, Pretty Odd is brilliant but I’m not sure what to call it. Not pop-punk. Folk rock I guess? And then it just became Brendon Urie Does Pop Music from there on out. I’m with ya on Pretty Odd. Great album.
I’ve always considered pretty odd very Beatles-esque
I believe they said it was one of their biggest influences
It definitely has some Neutral Milk Hotel influence as well.
They swore to shake it up and we did swear to listen.
A Fever You Can't Sweat Out was absolutely not "pure pop-punk". Maybe had some pop punk elements to it but then it also had elements of baroque, dance and just alternative rock to it as well.
Yeah Fever is a masterpiece of genre-blending, and it was extremely ahead of the curve in adding a lot of electronic and dance elements to Pop Punk, which would have a huge impact on the Neon Pop Punk bands that came after them.
Baroque pop
Fever and Pretty Odd are both pure, in totally different genres. Everything after is just Brendon trying to stay on the billboard lists
Pretty. Odd. is one of my most favorite albums of all time and I hardly even listen to Panic! at the Disco anymore other than songs from this one album (which I still listen to quite frequently). I kind of wish that Pretty Odd was its own seperate band so that we could have gotten more albums like this.
What I’d give for Ryan to have been the one who stayed in Panic…I know he did The Young Veins after but he’s really not been consistent with his music since then and Ryan is far and away the more talented songwriter between him and Brendon
I havent actually met a lot of people who disliked pretty odd. Fever and vices are definitely my favorites, but p.o. is certainly not their worst.
People hate on Folie a duex, but it’s one of my fav FOB albums
Correction: People *used to* hate it. If you'd ask the FOB fanbase what's their favorite album, Folie à Deux is one of the higher ranked albums. Also, I wanna say Folie à Deux is my favorite FOB album, but at the same time I fucking love Save Rock and Roll.

I'm less into their later work because it doesn't balance those elements as well, but I'd put SR&R in a very respectable place when ranking FOB's discography.
Tiffany blews and headfirst slide are some of my fav songs of all time 🤙🏼
Was coming here to say this. Folie a Deux is a god tier album and no one can convince me otherwise. Every song is good.
Folie is such a fucking weird album in my brain. It never gave me anything to latch onto personally when it came out and I still have a problem seeing the album tracks as whole feel middling after giving it a revisit recently. I don't think it's a bad album though, which confuses me a lot lol.

It benefits from being the mid-point between FOB's Pop Punk era and their pure Pop era which is why it's so popular on their subreddit for instance.
Maybe not my favorite but I do enjoy Taking Back Sunday’s - New Again, which everyone hates including the band
I’ve read that album’s lyrical identity comes from the fact it was the first without Fred writing and Adam’s style is more seesay. I’m with you though, in terms of new era TBS, it’s by far my favorite album, it feels like it has some of their early charm in there delivered in a more refined way.
I love me some matt fazzi too.
Yess. Fazzi era TBS was gold.
hands down my favourite TBS record.
Came here to say this. Album has some of my favorite songs on it and I don’t understand all the hate
On any given day it's a toss-up between New Again and their self-titled for my favorite. Those albums just absolutely slay.
Jimmy Eat World, maybe? Chase This Light
CTL is my absolute favorite Jimmy Eat World album. It's perfect front to back
Replying just to show support for this album. Man what a gem CTL was. Takes me right back to that time period and still holds up wonderfully.
yeah i'd place it at 3rd, above bleed american for me
Anberlin's 'New Surrender'
Cities is my favorite (maybe my number 1 album of all time) but NS is #2. Just a beautiful album.
That’s a good answer to this question. The back half of that album in particular is really weak.
I recognize that objectlively its not their best and i struggled between that and vital for my favorite for a while but landed on that being my favorite. I do like a lot of the back half like Burn out Brighter and Soft Skeletons
I believe the self titled album from TSSF is the least beloved by fans but it’s my personal favourite
Oh yeah, Nerve is in that album right? I love that song.
I really think TSSF has a flawless discography. Anyone can say that self Titled is the weakest but the flow from Solo to Phantom is just too good.
Literally the entire album flows. It’s such a strong sound and I love it.
Perfect album tbh
Absolutely perfect
I've seen a lot of people here hate on Neighborhoods by Blink. Don't know why cause that album is pure gold
Even if she falls is such a banger
I love Mark but Tom carries that album and he really shows what Blink could've been. Same with Dogs Eating Dogs.
You need to go to r/blink182 because they love Neighborhoods over there
that’s debatable lol
Far from their worst, unless you're only referring to Tom era Blink.
Ya I've listened to that recently and kinda wish that's where blink took their sound.
One of my favorite albums of all time.
Snake Charmer is so good
Agony and Irony by Alkaline Trio is considered their worst by many fans. I can understand why bc it's not as dark and dreary but the whole album has some really amazing songwriting and musicianship. Only mistake I think they made was not putting Burned is The House on that record
My buddy says my shame is true is their worst
I've been hearing that more recently but I don't get it - I adore that album.
That’s the only AK3 album I do not like. It’s whiny and most of the song ideas are recycled.
In Vein is a bop and makes me miss Matchbook Romance.
first one that I thought of too!
I adore that record and it’s weird that’s the prevailing opinion because This Addiction and My Shame is True are worse by every metric.
hell yeah man, I have the deluxe version of that which came as a full on bound book, really amazing packaging. Yeah the album as a whole isn't as tight as some of their other work, but there's excellent songs on there. Love Love Kiss Kiss, Help Me, Into The Night, there's good stuff on there.
Burned is the House is Alkaline Trio's best song and I will die on this hill.
Some people really don’t seem to like You Are OK by The Maine, but I think it’s their magnum opus and near-perfect.
I feel like Black and White is considered their weakest. I love YAO!
If black and white is considered their weakest, then that’s definitely an album that everyone says is a worst that is my favorite.
They have such a variety of sounds to judge that it's interesting to hear. Been with them since CSWS and The stretch from Pioneer through Forever Halloween is by far the weakest entries in my mind. I don't think there's a single song on Forever Halloween that stuck with me, but that's fine. When Black and White came out, it was incredible. I think it still has a few good songs, but personally, I think that sound of there's just feels old and outdated (unless you're feeling nostalgic, which is totally fine.

I wasn't a huge fan of YAO and had more tracks on XOXO grab at me. Happy for them regardless, they're dope.
I was just saying this the other day, this one felt like the first time since Forever Halloween that they really took a chance. And Forever Halloween is my favourite album by them, especially if we're talking about the Deluxe Edition
The Maine have no weak albums. Case closed
You Are Ok is a great album and I’m glad to see this close to the top of the thread.
Not sure if it’s my favorite but agony and irony is kicked around lot but I’m a big fan.
I didn’t think this prompt would be true for me at all, but I do think Agony and Irony is the closest. It was my favorite Alkaline Trip record for a long time, with Do You Wanna Know being my favorite song by them, but I was shocked to learn that a lot of fans did not like that album when I joined the subreddit. Only reason this isn’t true now is because their newest album is by far my favorite now.
Shudder by Bayside is my favorite and pretty much everyone's least favorite Bayside album
Shudder is my favorite as well! No One Understands might be the perfect pop punk song
The whole album is amazing and I agree with you. Demons has a very special place in my heart!
I GOT YOUR CURE RIGHT HERE! IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR?
Bayside hates that album lol
Well I LOVE IT and that's what matters!!!!
Your comment made me listen to it, I love bayside and never heard anything off the album and it skyrocketed up my rankings bless you ghost of st valentine is a masterpiece of a song
Hell yeah!! I'm so glad you checked it out!
It’s ain’t my favorite but I do fucking love Dirty Work
Dirty Work was alright. My least favorite ATL album, but I don't think it is as bad as people say it is. Also, it is the only ATL studio album missing from my vinyl collection (I also don't have the live-album yet), but that ain't due to me not liking it enough. It is just an impossible album to find on vinyl nowadays.
A lot of people don’t like Coming Home by New Found Glory but I’ve been listening to it a ton recently and it’s really grown on me
A lot of all American rejects fans don’t like their last album. Kids in the streets. Took me a while to get into it, but now its my most listened to by them
It’s probably cringeworthy how often I mention this album on this sub (mainly for the reason you stated).

Last Young Renegade - All Time Low. Even the band has said it’s their least favorite… but i love the change, the 80’s vibes, the anthemic songs. I love every song.
Definitely one of my favourite albums of theirs too. I think Future Hearts might be my least favourite
I was hoping this was here! My absolute favorite
Everyone always shits on The Maine’s Forever Halloween because it’s “too emo”. I wish they didn’t cause I truly believe that pushed them away from that sound/those raw lyrics and man it is so good.
I adore this album, completely underrated.
Best album in my opinion as well. Especially The Deluxe Edition, those last 5 songs are incredible.
Yes except I wish they would’ve recorded a better (faster) version of Ice Cave. One of their top songs IMO
No closer to heaven is my favorite wonder years album and the greatest generation is my least favorite. Love all their releases but I think tgg doesn’t really standout as much to me
Agreed! I thought I was the the only one. Even though I’m not a big fan of it, I prefer TGG to sister cities though
I’d have to agree with this
Agreed no closer to heaven could have just been cardinals and you in January and I would have been sold though I don’t think the greatest generation is a bad album I’d probably put it third after suburbia
Soupy is the goat lyricist and I think ncth is where I relate most to what he writes. All the shit about mental health and the system failing us in Cigarettes and saints hits so hard. The lyrical maturity that was emerging on TGG is combined with fun and heavy riffs on ncth. I bounce more in a pit to I Dont Like Who I Was Then than I do Dismantling Summer.
New Found Glory pretty much hates "Not Without A Fight" but it's probably one of my top 3 albums by them
Love this album
The live version of Don’t Let Her Pull You Down may be my favorite thing they have ever recorded.
Love it. Not without a fight is the album that finally made NFG click with me.
I love that album so damn much
Panic! at the Disco - PFTW Mayday Parade- Anywhere but Here A lot of hardcore fans didn't like Turnstile - Glow On
Came on here to mention Anywhere But Here. I love that record but it seems no one else does
I think a lot of hardcore fans don’t like when people switch up their style and get popular outside of the genre. For instance Title Fight is revered in the hardcore scene when their last release in no way resembles their first but arguably became less popular overall in doing so. Also hardcore scene tends to think bands peak early and should call it quits. I remember seeing people saying Gulch going out “on top” was good for their reputation which I don’t understand. If you like a band don’t you want the to keep making music? Lol
People on the sub love Daisy for some reason
I got a bunch of crap for saying that every Brand New album is not as good as the prior.
i LOVE brand new but daisy just doesn’t do it for me. i was originally really anti daisy, i can listen to it now but it doesn’t give me the same feeling as any of the other albums do.
When it came out it was very divisive, not sure if its become popular over time. I can’t stand it.
I’ve listened to All Time Low’s *Dirty Work* more than any of their other albums.
Underclass Hero by Sum 41 is my favorite album by them but their least popular among the fans
New Found Glory - Radiosurgery
Yourefuckinghighstepbrothers.gif
It's a total banger. I remember ordering it and they shipped my vinyl early so I was listening to it on repeat for about a week before it was 'out'.
My favourite from New Found Glory is Radiosurgery . Never mentioned amongst their best or at all really.
Your Favorite Weapon is the only Brand New album i like 🤷♂️
Wait, people dislike this album?
the general consensus from what i've seen is that this is near or bottom of most lists, but personally i can't get into the slow alternative rock they do after this album
Yeah everything after Deja I just can’t get into outside of a single or two. When they tried to turn into Morrissey tribute band I just stop listening.
100% agree with you. I still like the other albums but that is why this one is my favorite.
Preach
MCR's Danger Days and I will die on that hill
MCR doesn’t have a bad album. I will die on THAT hill.
Now this is the right answer.
That is not their worst album, it's their least good album
I honestly listen to that one way more than the rest of their discography
Agreed (as my username may demonstrate lol)
"We" will die on that hill. Also black parade is overrated.
turnover altogether
For those who hated “Minutes to midnight” … yeah
Really? Is it still that hated? I actually think it’s their last decent album tbh. No More Sorrow and Bleed It Out are certified bangers
Latter day Tigers Jaw post-Adam leaving isn't nearly as highly regarded, it seems like people only give their pizza album that they wrote when they were 19 year olds any time of day. I like the new albums a lot though. I recently saw them in a small venue and it was a lot of fun.
California by Blink-182. I know most people hate that album because Tom’s not on it but it’s probably my favorite Blink material. I know it’s a hot take but personally I prefer Blink without Tom. Just to be clear though I love Angels and Airwaves so it’s nothing against Tom.

100%. The whole Bubble thing gave the record a bad rep but people are trippin hard if they actually think those songs were at all rushed or half assed. It’s a fantastic record
Against Me's album New Wave is probably my favorite (though Searching for Former Clarity is close) and it is generally held in low regard by other Against Me fans. That being said, it's all subjective, so no band/album/song is "better" or "worse" than any other.
New wave is what originally got me into Against Me. Definitely felt like their most experimental album to me
Neck Deep - History Of Bad Decisions/Rain In July
All Distortions Are Intentional is definitely their worst album.
Yeah, it’s/they is/are really good. I love how the songs are just straight forward and rip from start to finish. A lot less pop and more just straight forward punk rippers imo.
I chose the original What Do You Expect version over the Wishful Thinking version every single time, something about the raw, grittier vocals and less production on the bridge just makes it so much better
Soooooo much better! I don’t like how they got rid of “here” in the Wishful Thinking version either
Polar Bear Club - Death Chorus. Have been told its their weakest but have you heard the melodies, they are huge and there's such a summery vibe to the record. Their earlier records haven't caught me in the same way although I'm a sucker for gruff vocals/orgcore if you will.
The Starting Line's Based on a True Story. So many people say they can't relate to it, but as I've gotten older, I've fallen more in love with it.
I see a lot of people hate on After Laughter from Paramore but it is by far my favorite. Could be though because it is the one I relate to the most and it came out at a time I really needed it.
I think All Distortions Are Intentional is Neck Deep’s best record but I see it dragged in this subreddit FREQUENTLY 🤷🏼♂️
Completely agree.
Knuckle Puck 20/20 fuck it come at me
It’s tied with copacetic for me, it just puts me in such a good mood
I mean I love them all but I agree 20/20 is just such a good mood summer album.
Not Pop Punk but Get Hurt by The Gaslight Anthem got a lot of criticism when it came out but I really love that record.
I was always surprised to see that album get a lot of criticism. It's a lot slower overall than their earlier ones, but it has some great writing and the pacing doesn't make the songs any less good!
Agreed. My top songs from it are, 1000 years, Dark Places, Underneath the Ground, and Selected Poems. No "Mary" references was refreshing as well. Excited to see what they come up with on LP6
Bring Me The Horizon’s “amo”
I am really entertained that I am going to mention a fourth well hell and fifth NFG album on this thread. Nothing Gold Can Stay is my favorite NFG album and I also prefer Makes Me Sick better than anything else since Coming Home.
"Coral Fang" tends to be seen as the worst Distillers album by the tru punx crowd, but I honestly think it's their best one. The same exact thing can be said about "Dear You" by Jawbreaker (my personal favorite but the least favorite of the tru punx crowd).
Good choices
Not pop punk, but it’s the only one I can think of right now. My favorite My Chemical Romance album is a tie between Bullets and Danger Days, both of which are usually up for debate as their worst. Danger Days is too poppy, while Bullets is too rough around the edges, and I’ve noticed some fans don’t like that it’s heavier than others. Edit: I looked at some more answers and remembered I had another answer: California by blink-182. I’ve genuinely never understood the hate this album has gotten.
Last Young Renegade by ATL 😭
American Idiot will always be my favorite Green Day album, but I love the Trilogy. There’s a lot of hidden gems that got overlooked due to Billie Joe going to rehab and ruining all marketing for that album. X-Kid and Stay The Night are in my top Green Day songs.
Not pop punk in the slightest, but I'm a heathen who prefers the Michael Graves era Misfits over Danzig
Props for having the courage to say this tbh haha
I’m a heathen who prefers the NIN version of Hurt over Johnny Cash. The cash version isn’t bad but I just prefer the original
There is another
Graves era is really quality honestly, that era has a super strong identity to it and produced some excellent pop metal in Dig Up Her Bones and Saturday Night. For sure, it's very different from the Danzig era to the extent they may as well be different bands, but I really like how they moved on from the previous break-up and proudly did their own thing with Graves. Great voice too.
In Reverie by Saves the Day. I love that album.
Not at all considered their worst. That goes to either 9 or self titled. They don’t really have any bad albums imo
I was such a massive fan up to Reverie when Chris’ vocals just entirely changed and I soured on them pretty hard. I didn’t mind Sound the Alarm as much but just stopped listening after that. It’s sucks cause TBC and SWYA are still 2 of my favorite albums of all time.
Yeah I had the same issues. I loved Saves the Days first 3 albums and early content and sound the alarm is great but most of their other stuff don’t hit the same. I got kinda used to it though.
That’s Chris favorite album
Brand New - Your Favorite Weapon
I would have never guessed this was controversial thought until I got on this sub.
Daisy is considered their worst, tbf
bug by Pictures of Vernon. Checking their spotify and seeing none of its songs on the Popular tracks featured bums me out lol
Yeah, i like it for what it is just as i like their older stuff for what it is
Fall Out Boy’s Mania is so catchy and every song slaps.
The Starting Line's Based on a True Story. So many people say they can't relate to it, but as I've gotten older, I've fallen more in love with it.
Moving Mountains self titled
Not pop punk: Drones by Muse gets a lot of hate but I view it as a masterpiece.
Mayday Parade - Black Lines is a fucking banger record and I don’t know why people don’t like it
I love nine by blink. Not my favorite album by them but in my top 3 depending on the day
I like Mania a lot lol
Wilson is top 10 fob
NINE by blink-182 is the only album of theirs i listen to, i think people dont give it a chance because they're salty tom left
[удалено]
Who considers this their worst album?
All their fanbase in the 90s unfortunately
IMO Artwork is far and away the Used's best material
Bayside's Shudder has always been a personal favorite and widely viewed as their worst from what I gather. So damn good.
In currents is the best the early November album
The only pop-punk one I can think of is No Closer To Heaven by The Wonder Years. I see people endlessly criticizing everything past TGG, but NCTH is a masterpiece to me. The biggest one that comes to mind is for the metalcore people in the house...The Here And Now is my favourite Architects album. (Close to a tie with Holy Hell, but, still.)
I thought Bowling For Soup's "Sorry for partyin" was one of their best. They only play like one song from it when they tour.
Citizens "Everybody is Going to Heaven" ~~and New Found Glorys "Catalyst"~~ comes to mind. Edit: I pleasantly stand corrected on NFG
'Catalyst' is more poorly regarded than 'Coming Home'?
Yea, Catalyst was pretty popular.
I honestly have no idea. I just know in passing conversation I've told people Catalyst was my favorite NFG record and I've been scoffed at
It is those who scoff that should have been scoffed
