    I so so so so want to be positive about my late teen early twenty something favorite band but acoustic album sucks. Horrible reverb, lazy vocals, songs without their feeling. He's right, I could do better.

    Edit: I love the original album too.

    I don't know how he thought this vocal quality was acceptable for release, it would literally sound better just recording it all live straight into garageband on a macbook microphone

    I really like that S/T album. This is such a lazy attempt at acoustic versions. Can't say the home studio was worth it if this is what came out of it. Has anything else come out of the kickstarter?

    Edit: Looks like this is the first thing that's been released. These digital rewards were due back in May 2019 and the kickstarter began on Sep 2018. Just browsing the posts and comments this did not go well. I can't help but thinking I would feel burned as a fan that paid for this back in Sep 2018.

    seeing where Max/SA ended up makes me super appreciative of bands/peers of the same era like The Starting Line and Northstar who haven't just shit away the goodwill I used to have towards them.

    aside from the music sounding like shit...

    one song is missing
    2 songs are mis-titled
    none of the files are tagged, so it looks like shit when you import them anywhere
    no album art

    it's all just messy

    Cemetery isn't too bad, but you can't really screw that one up.

    ...is a real boy will always mean a lot to me and I’ve mainly liked all of SA’s output, but I can’t listen to this. I tried listening to “Do Better” and had to stop. Wasn’t the first track called “Fed To Death” and not “This Is Forever”? I’m pretty sure This Is Forever was the original title of the album, but that’s it.

    Unless the fan who put them in the Dropbox renamed it for whatever reason

    I did give this one a quick play for about a minute and it’s just so much slower. I prefer the acoustic demo version. This version sounds like he was trying not to disturb neighbors or wake his children.

    I'm nearly certain that the dropbox is the original dropbox folder,I don't think anyone would have gone in to randomly re-name that song. Also Ahhh... Men is titled wrong as well

    It's uploaded by the person posting on their kickstarter so looks like the original upload.

    I remember in 2009 when Say Anything came out, they were starting to tighten up their poppier sound, they had this clean cut aesthetic going on, good musicians kept joining the band, they had such a good trajectory

    There have been moments on all of the albums since that perfectly scratched the Say Anything itch ("Overbiter", "Rum" and "Pink Snot" in particular - its probably not great that I can remember the few specifically), but its been about a decade of mediocrity and I could not care less about shitty acoustic demos. Last time I saw Max on camera he looked unhealthy, hunched over, twitchy, overweight, pale, and as much hate as he gets it honestly worried me a bit. Max I know you read the boards sometimes - your family needs you more than any scene does, so forget about the half assed music for awhile and just take care of yourself

    I feel like it could have been very different if they didn't get dropped from their label after the self titled album. Given I like most of the stuff after it but I am curious how that changed things.

    Max sounded great on the acoustic tour. These are just not good recordings

    Yeah the IDOTG anniversary show was one of the best sets I’ve ever seen. Dudes had so much energy, and Max sounded great
