Say Anything ...Is Committed (May 24th, 2024) • Page 17

Anarchy My Dear was also a disappointment when it released, but mainly cause Max kept
Hyping it up as their firstly truly punk record, and a cousin to Is A Real Boy

 

Every album is the rebirth of Is A Real Boy, it's pretty comical.

It isn't the fan based obsessed about it either, it's just Max.

 

It's so funny that Max claimed they were real instruments

 

I think it’s like 50/50.

There are credited musicians playing all of the orchestral parts, but some of it certainly sounds digital. I know Max produced that album.

Maybe he had them record parts, then he inserted them into the songs like samples.

 

Self titled is an absolutely fantastic pop album. IDOTG is 80% really good which is a great hit rate for a double album. IARB is a classic

 

Lmfao no way

 

If there are real people playing instruments on that album then the producer needs to never work in the industry again

 

Anarchy my dear was one of the first times I realized musicians are horrible at describing their own music. the problem wasn’t his that the songs weren’t what max said they were though, it’s that they were really bad songs on top of not being an album about anarchy

 

Oh he was ADAMANT about it when the album came out lol

 

Hebrews has a lot of catchy melodies and stuff I like (the last time I think this was the case) but every single song has a moment where he’s like screaming about swastikas that makes me cringe out of my mind.

 

I remember him being adamant they weren't real instruments?

S/T is my favorite, I like a few songs off Hebrews and I think IDOTG is mostly great

 

They postponed tonight’s show fairly late.

 

Had to find a sitter

 

The producer was Max, haha.

 

I’m shocked

 

The funniest thing is that last week as I was listening to the new singles I was curious and skimmed Hebrews because sometimes I’ll wind up liking an album I used to hate a decade ago but nope it’s every bit as bad as I remember if not somehow even worse

 

Yeah I never got the love for Hebrews either. The last decent album was s/t (and even that one is spotty). Been downhill ever since.

 

Hebrews also has a los campesinos guest feature which is just awesome

 

They say Max has Strep. I’m calling BS lol

 

Oh boy lol

 

That explains the vape, a well-known treatment for strep

 

I'll bet a vape hit or twenty will fix that right up

 

You beat me by one second lol

 

something I always say about this band is “no one can ruin a good song like Max Bemis”

There are sooooo many examples throughout their catalog of a really good song that is ruined by a single cringy as fuck moment or lyric.

 

I was able to chuckle and look past that stuff and be like "oh max" until the grifting...etc started.
