I have both denfense against the genre and is a real boy.now with their third album it completes it.it's the best.max bemis is godd.i might not have their earlier work like Baseball but, I should in the future.But hands down this is the album of the year.This is rge greatest.Thanks Max and everyone else that contributed to this album.

Definetly my favorite album so far. I know In Defense had so many songs on it, but I felt like things got repetitious after awhile. ...Is a Real Boy was my favorite over In Defense, but this Definetly tops them both. "Do Better" will not leave my head [no complaints there] & I like "She Won't Follow You", "Ahh.. Men"'s ideas too. NO COMPLAINTS. I got the deluxe pre-ordered version of it, so I have a few more songs than usual and "Hate Everyone" video =EPIC. Saw them Nov 1st @ Philly's TLA, too =EPICCC. Definetly a must-have. Great Job!

This album is the best so far!!!!!
Honestly, I never thought anything could top Is/was a real boy, but this one definitely does. While I like all of the Say Anything albums, this one has earned a special place in my heart. The acerbic, witty writing and catchy hooks are still there, and although the album is still dark (wouldn't be Say Anyting if is wasn't) , it has a more positive spin than its predecessors. I gave it a couple listens on my way to the Highline Ballroom show and it just put me in the perfect frame of mind for an awesome night out. BTW you guys killed it! I have seen you four or five times and this show was definitely the best! Thank you for putting on an incredible show and making such a heartfelt, witty, and dare I say, spiritual album. This one will be in my CD player for the next year or so.

Amazing new album! especially love do better and death for my birthday

Arguably their best offering to date, although all are incredible. The writing on this one has somehow gotten even better and the eclectic mix of irony, humor, melancholy, and daily existence continues to impressively come off as so intuitive and that's a big part of what makes SA's music so enjoyable. Great job SA!

I got this album, put it on my iPod and listened to it from beginning to end....now I can't listen to anything else. I've only been able to listen to a few other songs, and they've been songs from "...Is A Real Boy"/"...Was A Real Boy" and "In Defense of the Genre." This album is AMAZING. It's SO nice to have an album I can listen to on my iPod that I don't want to skip any songs, I can just play the first song and let it go through the whole album...then listen to it again. The songs are awesome and easy to relate with. Say Anything is nothing short of GENIUS. I haven't heard a song of theirs that I didn't like. They're amazing album to album as well as live. I love this album and I LOVE Say Anything! <3

Perfect mix of ...is a real boy and Baseball. Say Anything manages to incorporate the expressive explosion of both of the older albums mentioned above, and also uses the more Yellow Cat (slash) Red Cat type electronic gilt with the personality and vulnerably openness of I Want to Know Your Plans. If Jesus were a band, he'd be Say Anything!!!!

i like this album alot, but i feel like its getting more and more pop. i like the originals better. i wish max would get back to his old music, but i still love his music.

great album.
new sound.

The guys in this band outdid themselves. This album is distinctly Say Anything yet majorly diverse. With song styles from ranging from the modern pop-punk sound to shoe-bop 50's swing style, these guys never cease to amaze me. Creativity must flow in their blood. Definitely my favorite album of the year. I saw them this year at Marquee in Tempe. They're amazing live. Great job, guys.

I love the songs that i have heard don't have the cd yet but will in the future. Their last two were the best cd's i ever bought and hope to see alot more of that!!

Okay guy who is two below me, if you only have is a real boy, in defense of the genre, and say anything. Then you do not have the full set of all of their albums, you are missing baseball menorah/major, and junior varsity. Not to be rude or anything, but I expected a fan to know this. But no harm done I guess because it's nearly impossible to get Baseball unless you download over the web because i looked it up wanting to buy it, and it was listed and around $250. But I still have the music from it. But next time you post something about their albums make sure you list them all. Despite the fact that max, dismisses baseball as their original album. It still is and a great one at that.

Anyways this album was amazing, when I first got it my buddy heard it and wanted to buy it off me for twenty bucks being a true fan I played with it in my mind I mean it was double what I payed for it and I could've just bought it again and made ten bucks but I just kept the album. We now both own the album and listen to it all the time. Haha though it starts to skip after crush'd finishes so we can never here the end of that song on his copy if we want to listen to the rest of the CD. Well keep pumpin out the badass tunes man.

Doesnt matter though.
Am i the only one who hates loving this band?
Honestly.
Say Anything is absolutely and unspeakably epic, but instead of being ecstatic when i am done listening to them, i am just flat out sad. like, sad sad.
i dont know what it is. loving them too much?
possibly. or the fact that a band can actually be this good, and their popularity is growing rapidly, yeah that sucks. Not for Say Anything, of course, but im going to admit it; i liked having Say anything, this weird and amazing band that no one knew, to listen to when no one else knew them.
ha, i just wish i wasnt as in love with Say Anything as i am.
Oh well. i am. you guys are my sanctuary. my place to smack out what needs smacking when life sucks. your brutal honesty is what every person needs to hear, and im glad you accomplish that in such a catchy way ^^
you're all i look up to, all i need to get out of bed, and the only freaking band who is stuck in my head 22 hours a day.
enough said
for now.
or never.
i'll never stop talking about say anything.

This might possibly be my favorite of all the Say Anything music. I love the lyrics. They are so meaningful and poetic.

DUDE!!!!!!! they just get better and fucking better every album. man i wish i wasn't so broke I'd pick it up in a heartbeat!!! xoxo guys!!

this album is amazing

not only is say anything my favorite band but they never let me down. not once have i gotten bored of listening to their music when i have nothing else to listen to. i love pretty much every kind of music there is and i can never pick favorites but when it came down to say anything they were in far first! i love the new cd and all the songs are amazing=)

Say Anythings growth from album to album is amazing. I hate bands that sell out or lose passion with fame. The heart and depth of lyrics is still in each song, I love it. I've seen you guys live 4 times and I cant wait till you head back to the New York, New Jersey area.
