So I went to Best Buy with my mom to look at cameras. I made a detour to the cd section, naturally. Right to "S". I was looking specifically for the new Say Anything cd - In Defense Of The Genre. Well, I found it. And bought it. 27 songs for $12.99. For serious? I was so surprised. Anyway. Point of this entry. The cd... it's... well, it's...
It's Fucking Brilliant.
Max Bemis is one of the most talented writers and preformers around right now. He has the most interesting mind. While the subject matter of the songs remains more or less the same as the old stuff [sex, drugs, alcohol, etc etc] it is INCREDIBLE no less. The imagery. The metaphors. The language. The rawness and honesty of it all. So straight forward. So emotionally driven. It's unadulterated anger. Frustration. Spite. Hurt. Sexual desire. Max is a genius. I can't put it any other way. His mind is so beautifully twisted. I mean, with him being bipolar and a [ex?]substance abuser, there's endless dark corners for him to crawl into in his mind. And they're all laid out for me to listen to. And i'm nearly pissing my pants over how much i love it. Not to mention, they have SO many of today's amazing singers lending their voices to a track here and there. Anthony Raneri, Haylie Williams, Chris Carabba, Aaron Gillespie, Chris Conely, Kenny Vasoli, Anthony Green, Matt Skiba, Adam Lazzara, Fred Mascherino, Chad Gilbert, Jordan Pundik, Gerard Way... Just to name a few. I CANNNNNNNOT wait until Warped Tour this year. I haven't seen them live since Bamboozle 2007.
Omg, I seriously can't get over this fucking album. Go buy it. Please. Listen to it alone in your room. Get inside Max's head with me. You won't fucking regret this. Say Anything officially owns my fucking soul.
