TBS - Liar (It Takes One To Know One)

Liar (It Takes One To Know One) should be a great song – it’s technically perfect, Adam Lazzara’s voice has rarely sounded better, and it has the intelligent, eloquent lyrics and overlapping vocals that have become Taking Back Sunday’s trademark. So why can’t I shake this nagging feeling that TBS just aren’t as good as they used to be? Why is Cute Without The E (Cut From The Team) so much better? Maybe it’s because this song is so linear, so conventional, compared to other TBS songs that start in one place and end somewhere completely different. Or maybe I just miss the teenage angst.

Verdict: A great jump around your room song, but disappointingly lacking the old TBS spark.
