Perhaps I'm one of the "irrational and bitter" opponents of this band, but I think the 2nd mainstream efforts from contemporaries FOB and MCR inspired a false hope in potential of Emo. PATD felt the need to keep up and branch out, but failed...mainly because they were never that good to begin with. Also, to compare PATD to Obama is a bit unfair. We don't know if Obama will make a good president yet. I will only acknowledge this comparison once he gets in office and fails to rename Pennsylvania Ave "Abbey Road."
