Simple as a hint of gas

Climbing nostrils as you pass,

Making Harvard graduates

Feel childish when they laugh at it.



Oh, right, I forgot how lyrically different he was on the last album. Look at this piece of brilliance, outshining everything on the new album.

"This is shit, it's terrible, it's trash. I cringe every time I hear it, and there's something like that on almost every song. Cut a few lines out of these songs, replace the bad songs with the best Painful Splits material (spruced up for a full band), and I could easily see myself enjoying this."

Not every single damn line has to have Max spewing out vocabulary words, man. Those lyrics aren't extraordinary, but what qualifies them as being shit?

"I remember it vividly, love. I've been walking erect since the moment we met

and I caught your eyes to my surprise your white thighs", "no matter what, I'd bleed to be your whore and even if the cancer grows until we explode, I'm yours"



I can do this all night.

Album Rating: 2.0

Yeah I don't know, something about everything you guys said still strikes me with a certain

infectiousness that just doesn't exist here. I know Max has written some groaners before but not like

this. Maybe it's his delivery, I don't know, but I can't help being irked.

Nah.

It's probably because you're being overly critical.



Every so often an album or movie comes out, and it's not really that bad, but for some reason, the cultural hivemind deems it worse than it is.



The main problem I have with most of you guys is that you're like cartoon characters, your opinions are turned up to eleven, blowing out the speakers. You're caricatures of negative opinions. You talk like Max Bemis wrote songs about banging twelve year olds on an old 8-track tape he didn't know how to use, or something.

"This is vapid, directionless, cliche and terrible, Max let me down big time, I'm going to go listen to a different Say Anything album and cry about how much better it is than this piece of shit waaaaah"



Say Anything has always been a band where I've felt like I had to wade through some shit to strike gold, and eventually, hell, the shit even grew on me. Except this time, there's enough shit to stomp out my greed for more SA gold.

"at one point we're forced to imagine what it would look like if Bemis and DuPree combined into a Japanese mech-style robot"

what? actually made me interested

"And we'll combine to be some kind of Japanese mecca-creation

With two fused persuasions, yeah

We'll destroy the earth and herald it's rebirth"

I wonder if Max likes Gurren Lagann.

He needs to start drinking and doing drugs again. Once he goes insane BOOM, another awesome album.

He needs to be as insane as THIS Japanese mech machine
