Say Anything - Oliver Appropriate (January 25, 2019) Album • Page 42

True I’m just saying tho

 

I really like this on first listen. The only songs I didn't really like were Greased and Fired.

 

JK, I just finished listening to the album and I'm having a lot of emotions rn. My first impression of it is very positive, although I do want to spend more time listening to lyrics knowing the synopsis and hearing others' thoughts on how it's portrayed. That being said, it feels like a bookend to this band in a very interesting way.

 

Some of this is very bad but overall it’s better than the past two or three SA releases.

 

Yeah Fired is especially stupid

At least it’s sandwiched between two of the best songs on the album

 

Wait so what is this link that was posted? You can buy it like officially? Like the album is released?

 

It’s not out until January. That site for some reason allowed you to get a digital download now.

 

So this online store didn't get the memo that the album was actually going to be released in January?

This is why you don't delay an album that's been sitting around for months like a big popstar with a huge campaign ahead of it.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

 

So far this is musically less self-indulgent than the past few releases which is refreshing I guess. Feels almost like I'm hearing the follow up to Anarchy My Dear that I expected in 2014.

Have to say that I'm gonna wait for the full lyrics to be out there so I can look back on the concept, the surrounding memos, and see how it colors my view on the album afterwards.

 

I need to listen more but I like it. There's not anything here that sounds bad but I get when people say some sound like they are from song shop. Pink snot and Daze are definitely the catchiest

 

I actually like this album. Will spin it a few more times before any other thoughts.

 

The cynical in me is side eyeing the production choices while looking at the amount of money amassed over the kickstarters, but what do I know

 

First impression is that this sounds like a bunch of half-finished demos. Some of the lyrics are really on the nose in away that makes me cringe.

Maybe this is unfair but it doesn’t sound like a lot of time was spent on it. The last few albums might not have been everyone’s cup of tea but they didn’t feel that way to me.

I feel like I’m being harsh but but my feelings really aren’t as strong as they sound here, haha.

 

Some songs remind me of a "maturer" Baseball. Kinda glad he's swearing, too.

 

I'm actually deleting these two haha.

 

Who's singing 'Your Father'? Doesn't sound like Max.

 

Maybe Karl?

 

Yeah I'm pretty sure he said Karl wrote that one so I'd imagine it's him

 

On the sixth song right now and this is the first time I've had any enjoyment from anything Max for what feels like a decade. Man I used to love Say Anything and then they just went to shit. Hope this album continues to grow on me.

 

“It’s A Process” is pretty lovely and I think it’s the next single, which makes sense.

 

Lol these impressions are all over the place I love it. Can’t wait to hear this

 

okay, listened to the whole thing, and while it's better than the last few, I don't think I'll be listening to it much more.

I honestly don't like hearing Sherri on Say Anything even though I'm a fan of Eisley.

 

...Sherri is on some great SA songs tho

 

So was it put available for download accidentally and then they just gave up and left it as is? That's crazy

 

Minus a few tracks, I actually like this a pretty fair amount.
