3.0 good | MusicBoxSuperhero | December 9th 13 | Perma – Two of a Crime (October 29, 2013/Rory Records/Equal Vision)
So, first, there is no way that I can objectively review this album. I’ve been a huge Say Anything fan for years, followed Eisley since Room Noises was released, have every album from each artist (including a crapload of Say Anything bootlegs) and generally have been a fanboy of both bands for as long as they have been around.
But this is not a review of Say Anything or Eisley.
Max loves Sherri. Sherri loves Max. As people in love usually do, Max and Sherri got married and made a baby.
Since they are both musicians, Max and Sherri wrote songs for each other.
This album is the result.
Now, I was expecting a super-sweet, diuhbeetus-inducing album, based on the early tracks and general feel of the project.
And, yeah, it is.
But damn if this isn’t also a catchy, ridiculous, fun album that rises above it’s cutesy roots and shows some legit promise.
Is it for everyone? Well, no. This album is really created for the fans who have followed both artists through their mental breakdowns (Max), drug addiction (Max) and failed marriages to other pop-punkers (Sherri). The creepy girls who stalk Sherri’s Instagram will claim obsession with this collection for a couple months, the girls who buy Song Shops hoping Max will love them will add this to their collection, and the cranky old Say Anything fans will still bitch and moan about how much Max sucks now.
