@Whatsgood, i can definitely see what you mean, and i agree with you, though i probably feel less enthusiastically so. there are tracks i like a lot and other ones that make me just think about the better songs bemis has already written before. i'll give the album a few more spins before passing final judgment, but it's pretty hit or miss for me and my inner fanboy is still holding on and not wanting to jump the gun. pretty disappointing for sure though.

wtf.... admit it again sounds like a half finished demo

I really don't see how it would sound like a half-finished demo.

Bitches be crazy

I certainly don't think this derserves as bad of a rating as a 1. I'd say 1s should be for shit like Waka Flocka, Gucci Mane, Brokencyde, LMFAO, and other absolute garbage artists. It's certainly the "1" of Say Anything's discography, but it probably deserves a 2.5 in the whole scope of things when compared to the best of the best and worst of the worst.

even looking at this album in a vacuum, it's fucking godawful

Album Rating: 5.0

no

Not a one 'cause "Burn a Miracle" and some others are cool, but most of this is really just awful.

Most of this is lukewarm, at worst. I wouldn't consider any of it "bad", which is why I find this thread so intriguing

I think expectations really ruined a lot of people's perception of this. There's not a bad song on here. A couple of them are only okay but in no world is it a 1.

Album Rating: 3.5

lol at all these emotional, irrational 1s. Personal rating system indeed.

I think expectations really ruined a lot of people's expectations of this.

Doesn't stop me from hating it Andcas. The whole thing is just so... expected, and yet not what I

wanted to expect, at all. For example, I never would've expected Peace Out from Say Anything, but

that's not because it's awesome and experimental and totally cool, but because it's a mega-gay

harpsichord ditty riddled with cliche. Same goes for the weird 'GOD BLESS AMERICA' feeling that

Anarchy, My Dear gives me, which I guess is supposed to be IRONIC or whatever, but it still sounds

dumb, and more universally, the whole record sounds forced. With ...is a Real Boy and In Defense of

the Genre, Say Anything pumped out music that I would have difficulty defining, stuff that straddled

the line between Post-hardcore and Indie-rock like it WAS that line, and while I can't say that

Peace Out and Overbiter sound remotely similar, no song is surprising in and of itself.



Still gets points because Max can write a catchy song like nobody's business, but this is hopefully

the worst thing Say Anything ever writes.



@NeutralThunder12: Yeah I suppose it's more prominent on WARB than IARB but there are still some

pretty angsty moments on IARB. I think it kind of shows up on In Defense of the Genre's second disc

as well.

The Stephen Hawking might be my favorite SA closer, which is saying a lot because All Choked Up, Admit It!!!, Plea, and Ahhhhhh...Men are all fantastic.
