Tell All Your Friends

Tell All Your Friends is Taking Back Sunday's debut album. It spawned the singles "You're So Last Summer", "Great Romances of the 20th Century" and "Cute Without The 'E' (Cut From The Team)" which had a Fight Club inspired video.

This album is named after the lyrics in "Cute Without the 'E' (Cut from the Team)."

The fourth track, "There's No 'I' In Team", was written in response to Brand New's song "Seventy Times 7" and contains some of the same lyrics: "Is this what you call tact? You're as subtle as a brick in the small of my back; so let's end this call and end this conversation...." Each song articulates an opposing viewpoint regarding an amorous dispute between band members at the time. This was a minor episode in the artists' lives and they have since put it behind them; the bands and its members/former members are now on good terms.
