The Academy Is... - Absolution

[IIIIjimmyIIII]

am i the only one that likes every song theyve made?i love everythin TAI has come out with.bands change,it just happens!i havent heard one band that hasnt changed,all bands do it!

[xKRBSx]

R.I.P TAI <3 YOU WILL BE DEARLY MISSED!

[MrAznPillow]

their early work reminds me a lot of all time low's early work. obviously the style changes through the years.

[wesurftexasbrown]

this is when they were actually good. too bad they suck balls now

[12maggie2]

I don't understand why everyone is complainig, I love their new album!! <3 TAI FOREVER! <3 <3 <3

[safariyasi]

@12maggie2 the awkward moment when "TAI FOREVER" turns into "TAI FOREVER ....until they break up"

[tionalgrl0]

i like their newer stuff...the songs on this ep kind of sound like they were just experimenting

[ninjawildebeast]

And Bilvy looks goooood!

[ninjawildebeast]

I feel like I'm listening to a totally different band. I love all of TAI's music but the music from The Academy-EP is by far the best of all of their music. I wish there was a way I could get this on my ipod. 

[eMogOestOpUnk]

ilove the vocalist ^^

[TheKiddem]

Wow.... I could never imagine this is where they started from... talk about a new direction- they're much more pretty boy band now.

[kristimanson]

i still prefer their newer stuff, but I guess that's just my opinion.

[TheAppleannie]

damn! this song is good!! too bad there no michael guy chislett. <<< yum!!

[wileeyum]

There is nothing wrong with there new stuff. I like all of their music. Just because their sound is a bit more (for lack of a better word) pop, doesn't mean the songs are any less reflective of their lives. I agree that their old stuff is better than Fast Times / Lost In Pacific Time. But it's not bad. They're still the same band. So I don't think they should be compared to another. They've never done the same thing twice. And they say theyre tired of this new sound anyway. They change. Big Deal

[mickisonmylist]

i like all their music, from this to fast times.

[kittykhoas]

Omfg.

I love this epic song.

YES, anyone that's ignorant to The Academy Is's music.

That IS them.

It's just their OLD music.

OF COURSE their voices change when they get more well known.

[ssminopoopy]

this is suchhhhhh shit!!!!!!! omfg.

[Pfila7]

this is The Academy. not The Academy Is. around circa 2004. these dudes were nniceee as hell

[HunnyMustardPenguin]

Are you sure that this is TAI?? lol..it's so different from all their other songs, anyway, is this how their songs were before or now?

[YourWorstWeekendEver]

this is what you call an EP.... there usually 4 or 6songs ^_^ this was 5-6years ago when they started

[HunnyMustardPenguin]

oh, cool, I had no clue of that...LOL!! Thanks for telling :D

[YourWorstWeekendEver]

indeed ^_^ this was 1st songs they released before getting signed by fueled by ramen so its quite different from what they do now

[GotZah]

They really need to go back to their roots. I don't necessarily DISLIKE what they make (in fact, I love some of their songs), but I also love what they used to make before being signed to Fueled By Ramen.

[imafrootloop1]

wow this doesent sound anything like them!!! but i kinda like it n yet i dont xD

[dragonmekill]

I know how you feel, but it kinda sounds like all of them are singing and they were drinking the night before that....

but meh :P

i love TAI!!!!

[YouXHaveXNoXIdeaX]

dang. i thought this was taking back sunday at first xD

[joshstockinger]

their old stuff was so much better. they have gotten progressively worse. i do like everything they made untill ftabh.

[thatperson364]

same here. they became too flashy and i hate to say it but, "mainstream" and not in success more in sound. the first two albums and this ep reflect their lives and their surroundings. the new album is just a bunch of drones singing a mindless melody thats pleasing to the ears. just another fall out boy

: /

[mikecardenislove]

this doesn't even sound like william

I just say them in concert yesterday <333333

[EricCOREgee12]

wow this is different but i like it!

sounds like the old taking back sunday almost

[travis6240]

see this song, check marks, and even the phrase the pays sounds like music they actually wanted to do now they sound to poppy

[lablove4evnev]

im going to their concert 2nite

[HERMIONEjonas]

Im going to their concert in october! yay!!

[onyxgarnetluverxoxo]

At the beginning it kinda sounds like the music is going in reverse....this is my fav song on this EP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CookiexMonsterx97]

OMG! I have this EP Haven't listened to it in forever though! I'm gonna put it on right now :D

[joshstockinger]

it seems like most people prefer their older stuff. the're still a good band but they used to be great.

[guitarheroine4life]

why william doesnt write like this anymore i will never know.....

still love'em, just miss the good old days.... :/

[lovethis101]

im goin to see them friday at six flagS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in ur ugly faces! jk

[buildgodthentalk]

I saw them too! It was awesome!

[HopscotchForever]

my favorite part is "Saved by the same hands, the same hands that frame life."

[amandasnyder88]

those are some amazing lyrics, although i prefer his voice more in the newer songs. (:

[000KiTkAt]

this is song is gud buh not the best song that they made so far.

[xlahoorah4]

it's ridiculous how much this band has changed. it makes me sad. used to be my favorite

[loudmouthgirlll]

My fav. band is silverstien's. NO DOUBT!!!!

[CrystalStarship]

Thats random

[agtai980]

wats wit the long ending?oh well my fav lines are

'so take a breath and end this chapter, ill bring the fire if you bring the water...'

[anoutofthisworldgirl]

i have to admit in the beginning of my TAI journey i hated this ep. i thought it was dum. BUT now I LOVE IT! like 3 months later i herd this on my ipod and was like hey this is good. it'll happen to you to if it hasnt already...

[RaisinsPone]

Soooo... Do they sell this EP anymore? :'( Like, I became a TAI fan about... Hmm... last year. Within that period of time, I was only able to fing Fast Times At Barrington High. I don't know what's up with this whole "we-don't-sell-Santi-OR-Almost Here" junk. -.- But, they're still for sale. SOMEWHERE... I KNOW IT!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!! OK, so do they sell this EP now or not? lol =P

[agtai980]

ugh its not on itunes im sooo mad!!!! i want the fever, and 40 steps 2. but, they aren on itunes!

[wileeyum]

@RaisinsPone This EP was released a year or so before they even got signed. So no, they are not in production anymore. They might've burned some off themselves and sold them when they first got started or something but they are not sold in stores.

[musiclover1672009]

the academy is and the band Annasay are two of the most incredible bands. I know Annasay is on itunes and youtube too. Check out the Annasay song "Winter Air" or "This is Love"

[fuzzyslippers0]

they have changed altho i like the new them more if u wanna blame sum 1 4 it blame FOB

[ryroXO]

lol dude dont blame fob even do fob turned shitty no1 beats fob in shitnes XD lol...well like the old albums of fob were nice =) i kinda agree with u a bit =P

[fuzzyslippers0]

i actualy like fob new and old i just think there kinda sell outs tho cuz of the songs/n shit they do wit ppl like tyga lil wayne n shit like the new administration mixtape would b nearly shit if it dnt have patd on it

[ryroXO]

[fuzzyslippers0]

[ryroXO]

yes brotha =) i shall add you

[patholland001]

lol their old stuff is great too =D not sure which i like more...

[giggligrl77]

ew. i like his girl friday.

[AllegraLegsLoves]

Hm. There's a definite difference between the older stuff and newer stuff. I'm not sure which I like better!

[fuzzyslippers0]

the cad rox

[WoahBrightlights]

wow, i never thought i would ever like this band, but this is the first time i heard the old stuff... you guys got really gay... its a shame...

[VMD01Z]

oh thats so true, still like some of the new songs but the ep is the nuts

[sdgal12]

@WoahBrightlights oh i dont think they suck now, but they were 23498347629X better back then for sure.

[mikey12O]

@WoahBrightlights Not true about the gay part i like them then and i like them now.

[MultiIrritant]

@WoahBrightlights r u shure you dont have bad hearing if you say there old songs r gay? the songs r from Willeum. new or old their good to me.

[AboveControl]

@WoahBrightlights in order to survive in the music business world, when record label wants u to sell more albums what can u do but try all kinds of things possible? Maybe even turn mainstream?

[x3tAiXLuVr]

this older stuff is better

[raficocali89]

Not bad but... it's true they really sound a lot like TBS =O!!

[KatherinexHarris]

I think this kind of sounds like Taking Back Sunday, especially that Tell All Your Friends album.

[ihave3pennies]

if you really like the newer stuff better... its because you are a 14 year old scene girl.

[AnliciouslyVicious]

No, it's because the newer stuff appeals to me more. It has nothing to do with age or "scene."

[AliandHolly]

Kinda sounds a bit like The Used? No? Or is that just me?

Anyways really like this song! Makes me wanna dance! xD

[AlbyT180]

my favorite song by them. i used to hate it cause the quality's not so hot and the drum intro is blah, but the vocals are sick! case is closed you're back into focus

[kaylaunreal]

As much as I LOVE the new stuff, I do favor the older songs abit.

[jessicacullen96]

I don't know, I like their newer stuff way better.

But I love TAI and I love William :)

[MannequinHearts]

This actually sounds a lot like Taking Back Sunday's old stuff... I like it a lot! =) x

[eddieluvr]

william is hot, and the older stuff is WAYYYY better!

[ryroXO]

this is from 2004 pretty sure =D pretty good 6 songs they made sounds so diferent =p

[imnochicken08]

i LOVE this band but most of their old stuff is better idk how old THIS one is but i like it

this is DEFFINATLY william beckett!

[xXLexyXx1313]

where can i find this album?

[FangsUpCobraFans]

God I love William

[punkprince182]

this soooooo does not sound like the academy is !????

whos the second vocalist? and i dont think either one is william's voice!

[NarcoticxLullaby]

that's william all right.

and i don't really hear a second vocalist.

but if there was one, it would probably be tom conrad or mike carden.

[LizyLuxury]

It's all William. They overlay the tracks.

[NarcoticxLullaby]

thought so.

[AngEgirl7X0X]

good songg

[HolmanAlexander]

dude anyone know where i can find this CD?

[FangsUpCobraFans]

Borders?

[sowhatquestionmark]

its not at borders

its not anywhere unfortunately =[

[FangsUpCobraFans]

NO! i want it so bad.

[jme1167]

why don't you just convert this using zamzar? That's what I did.

[ndami93]

What the fuck happened to these guys? They turned into a shitty pop punk band. Fuck Fueled By Ramen.

[iwish4it]

i noticed that too.. ohw...

[cacarazymary]

:/ i know

[musicislife11235]

it's weird, cuz with most bands, their music quality decreases the farther back you dive into it. but i kinda think it's the opposite with them, because i'm starting to preffer their older stuff over the new, though they're both great

[AirRifleChica]

yea.. i definally agree w/ u

their older stuff is better, more original in my opinion

[WhimNoir]

do you have this? i really want their original ep stuff, but can't find it anywhere. is their anywhere to download it?

[rydonbeckett]

thnx for posting this song it is the best of the early stuff, although they have changed i still like them, i saw one of the first performances they did when no one knew who they were and even post record production i loved them

[crazyMCRnerd]

Best TAI song.

[traxxas2006]

=]

This is good.

<3

[ihaveafunnyword]

aggg i love their old stuff sooo much... fast times is jsut horrible compared to all of this

[tairoxmysoxs]

i no i mean i used to like them becuz they were so different now theyre so mainstream and when i started listening to them when i wuz like 8 they had super good stuff but yea so i just wish theyd go back to like the old ep and santi stuff i mean i like fast times but still it really is horrible compared to this stuff

[ahxholla]

Thanks so much for putting up this song. I'm so in love with it. I loved their early stuff.

TAI <3

[jonntrishrsobs]
