The more he departs from that abortion of a s/t the better, so good on him.

s/t has 2 decent songs, but the whole album is safe as shit and has some of the most cringeworthy lyrics ever. There's no justifying a grown man singing "I have a crush on you, baby ohhhhhh. I wish I could let you know." (paraphrasing because I'd rather eat a kitten than hear that song again)

HE'S LIKE A WAL*MART VERSION OF YOUUU UUUUUUUU, BUT HE'LL HAVE TO DO, HE'LL HAVE TO dooooOOOOOOO

No okay I didn't mind the s/t, but Less Cute was incredibly terrible. My friend that got me into SA in the first place likes it the most which is kinda weird.*shrug*

This could be interesting though

so he will finally be in an accurately named band of Max Bemis+Others?

Don't get the appeal of anything SA has done. a few songs are alright, but for the most part there's nothing interesting happening.

s/t was alright, but I'm rather excited for this. Though it's just me hoping he goes back to the way he wrote on iarb

I liked the s/t, but I admit his other work was much better. Anyways, I"m hoping this will turn out better than Two Tongues.

This is cool and all but im way more interested in the next Say Anything record, since after reading Max's very lonng future of SA blog post, the new album sounds very intriguing.

I liked Two Tongues, I just think they could've made it amazing since they had Bemis and Saves the Day.

I hope this is better than the self-titled Say Anything album and the Two Tongues album. If he really means "punk", then I have high hopes.

Lining his pockets with more gold.. this guy is the worst "artist" on the planet, and this band with be pathetically bad, just like Say Anything.

Max is a fucking saint. He writes beautiful music.

S/T ruled hard, but I can see why people don't like it as much as IDoTG. The S/T was retardedly
accessible, and easy to digest (metaphor wise)

Yeah it does seem like that, at least on Sputnik. Seems like the s/t is a little bit more introspective than the others, but really idk I'm drunk.

I've noticed a lot of the newer fans that have been jumping aboard, like their s/t the best since it's much more accessible. While most older fans prefer Is A Real Boy.

And I like how no one ever mentions Baseball. Lol

Even Bemis said that he wanted Is A Real Boy to be viewed as his first actual album. So most people just ignore it, which is fine by him.

Self Titled is fucking awesome. But I dislike the fact that the lyrics are a lot less subtle. (Eg. Admit It!!! > Hate Everyone.)

Admit It! is probably their best song.

Guess what, Is A Real Boy is worse than In Defense and S/T

It is still good, but way too hit or miss it would be a 3 if it wasn't for Admit It!!!, In Defense is by FAR the best release.

Ehh to each his own. I think most fans will say it's Bemis' best, but I can see people maybe saying In Defense, since that one is a definite grower. Mv second favorite atm.

I got into Say Anything with Is a Real Boy, so I have that bias as well.

Yeah I think IaRB is like the obvious choice. All three are so great that I could see any of them being my favorite, depending on my mood. In Defense of the Genre is my favorite right now (well the second disc anyway; I didn't like it at first but now I like it way way more than the first disc).

S/T was campy and gay but still kind of enjoyable. Unfortunately campy and gay can only go so far.
