By the Numbers
This is the only album that separates the two halves of the credit. Adam Lazzara and John Nolan take the lyrics on all ten tracks while the music goes to Taking Back Sunday, which reads as writing done in the room with the words handled by the two people singing them. "Cute Without the 'E' (Cut from the Team)" and "You're So Last Summer" both come from this split.
Tell All Your Friends came out on Victory in March 2002 and is Taking Back Sunday's debut. It sold 2,000 copies in its first week and charted at number 183 on the Billboard 200, then kept selling for years. The RIAA certified it gold, and platinum in 2023.
