I am so, so, so, so ready for new Say Anything. The In Defense shows and their Riot Fest appearance last year were unbelievable and made me feel reinvigorated on a band that I already love.
So we should expect the album to sound different for Say Anything like Warning, or literally like Warning? Hmm either way I can't wait.
It's hit or miss, but they did a Green Day episode where they play a clip of GD and then the song they ripped off. They mention the same bands you did.
Well as a sorta-big fan of them, I retroactively realized they borrowed some riffs here and there. An obvious one would be St. Jimmy and Boxcar, or Brainstew and 25 or 6 to 4. I'll check it out.
This thread made me listen to In Reverie, Warning, and Anarchy My Dear back to back and wow, what a great couple hours of music
Saves The Day was my first really big favorite band that I started following all the time for updates and stuff. I think I'd put Through Being Cool and Sound The Alarm at the top.
Honestly, I hate to sound this way, but I love something different about each STD album. I think UtB, Daybreak, and In Reverie have most of my favorite songs, but they’re all good. I miss them and hope we get one more album from them.
I only liked about 2, maybe 3 songs. But i was kind of expecting that cause i only like 2 (maybe 3) songs from the first album as well.
They need at least one more album because their self titled felt like a breath of fresh air for the band, but Chris' lyrics have gotten pretty stale.
I just hate how they forced that production style on the second album. It didn't do the songs justice.
@Vase Full Of Rocks For sure, i really don’t know what they were thinking. Sounds like crap, I feel bad for those who got the vinyl
@Kuri44 It was a little jarring on first listen. I wasn't expecting rejected songs from I Don't Think It Is.
Daybreak and SWYA would round out my top three for Saves the Day. I've always felt Daybreak was the best of the trilogy (I enjoy those albums) and close to being their best work. In fact, I think "Undress Me" might be my favorite song of theirs Also Two Tongues Two is a strange one that suffers from a few rough cuts and its mix, but all in all I think it's an interesting and cool record
Undress Me has some of the greatest emotional impact from the band as well as Chris' best vocals in my opinion. I think the song Daybreak is a top 10 song from them for me as well, but the rest of the album is hit and miss for me. I think I'd like Under The Boards more if it didn't have Stay and Woe.
