Review

Tell All Your Friends is quite reminiscent of the Movielife's This Time Next Year. This is quite understandable when one realizes that one of the members of Taking Back Sunday used to be in the Movielife. Unfortunately, although there are a few variations, the ability of this band to sound so blatantly like their fellow Long Island comrades is almost their undoing. Vocally, Taking Back Sunday sounds very close to the Canterbury Effect, while musically there are times where they're a bit more rockin' than the Movielife in that they have cultivated punk, hardcore, emo, and pop and hybridized it better. It's quite upbeat and very danceable, thus making it fun and interesting. Yet at the same time it's nowhere near to being original or creative. Perhaps within their genre they're creative, but for the most part, bands like Taking Back Sunday seem to be all too common in an age of acts like the Movielife, New Found Glory, and other hardcore/pop-punk acts. ~ Kurt Morris, All Music Guide

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 their members/former members are now on good terms.
