Fans Report in: Say Anything Finish New Album

This article has been imported from chorus.fm for discussion. All of the forum rules still apply.

I’ve had a few readers reach out and say that Say Anything announced last night at their show at the Beacham in Orlando, FL that they had recently finished recording their new album.

10 years ago I would have been stoked for this, haven't loved the last few albums but always down to check out what they are doing.

 

Hoping for a return to form.

 

I thought they finished a while ago, I know Max and Will Yip tweeted something like that. Anyways looking forward to seeing a release date soon!

 

I’m ready for another surprise drop for this album

 

I too would love another album similar to Hebrews.

 

I hope we get this by March at least. I think we'll hear a single by the end of the month.

 

It's amazing the disconnect I have from this band now. Just part of growing up I suppose.

 

Nice. I liked hebrews but hated the last one.

 

I really like Hebrews. I doubt they do that whole thing again though.

 

really hoping Max is done with the low-fi, garage band production from I Don't Think It Is and Two Tongues Two

 

He is, that's been confirmed. He's also confirmed it will not be a surprise release.

 

Always looking forward to anything Max is involved in.

 

I'll listen to at least the single but it's been many years since I liked a SA album.

 

Exactly how I feel

 

Loved 'Hebrews', loathed that last one. Let's see where this takes me.

 

Here's hoping it's got some pre-Anarchy flavors.

 

I still want a full band version of Hebrews minus tom delonge.

 

This could sound like anything.

 

Does this band hold up if I've never heard any of their albums or are they largely a product of their time/nostalgia act at this point?

 

The latter

 

Cautiously optimistic

 

the more time passes, the further Hebrews climbs my list of favorite Say Anything records. there's some cringe to be had, but as an experimental venture they did damn well. i want another record like that where they attack it with a fully fleshed out idea of "different".

some days i like John McClane more than Belt.

 

I'm very excited for this either way. I can't say that I 'hate' any SA record, but the nostalgia, I think, helps on some of those older records. The last record, had it not been such a polarizing surprise, might have been given a better shot. I listened to it again a few weeks ago and it wasn't terrible by any means, just not great.

 

You should at least check out Is A Real Boy. There may be some parts that don't hit quite as good as it would've if you had listened when it came out, but I think it still holds up. I'd also recommend Self Titled - that one probably holds up the best.
