Say Anything ...Is Committed (May 24th, 2024) • Page 26

Glad Brian sings a lot of the backing harmonies on this

 

Was just thinking how so far this record has been pretty good sonically, but the lyrics are awful. I could never listen to this out loud. Then the next song started with "My dick is graceful". Absolutely ridiculous.

 

I think Self Titled is my favorite album of their's and the last one I really cared for. I'm gonna dig into this out of morbid curiosity

 

I kinda want to listen just for Brian but I don’t know if I can bring myself to

 

There’s a lyric that says Us is a indie horror film smh

 

Yeah like I understand it’s fuck Max but if any fans of this bands can find something to enjoy in it I understand that desire. I cannot bring myself to give this a thorough listen lol

Maybe that will change but I doubt it. At least we’ll always have the memories with the older albums

 

I just want to read all the lyrics but I can't find them online yet.

 

Damn that opening track had some promise sonically.

 

I'm with you. This was my favorite band once upon a time. I won't even give it a listen. Usually I'd think doing that would make me pretty hypocritical but I've heard enough to know what I think and there's better use of my ears/time.

 

I am going to listen to this dumpster fire once and then basically pretend it never happened. This was my favorite band for so long, probably the only band I’ve seen live more is Circa Survive, so like, I can’t bring myself to skip entirely. But it’s a real bummer just how far gone Max has gotten. I’ve noticed him get a little more unhinged every release since Hebrews, but just reading some of the lyrics to this one gives me the heebee-jeebees.

 

Woman Song is like a ruined version of Goodbye Young Tutor

 

Every song is about cum. Wtf.
It should be called Say Anything....is cumming.
There is absolutley potential sonically but I just can't with the lyrics.

 

it reminds me of Kevin Smith in some ways. They just gave up after being coddled by the fanbase and life. I think I saw SA like 10 times in a 7 year period (the 00s) and I'm just beyond disappointed in Max as an artist. Hated everything since Anarchy (each release somehow got worse) and I think CPS being called was the right thing. Huge Eisley fan too and yeah, SB sucks just as much. It's a miracle something worse hasn't happened.

 

Say Anything... Is Cummitted

 

‘Member when Drive Thru touted Max as the next Bob Dylan.

 

Stopped listening when Max starting singing about cumming for the first time in front of the toilet

 

“Woman Song” is pure manipulation. It’s just ultimately about Max being mad that CPS got called on him, disguised as a tribute to his daughter. Then it goes into that whole other “breaking the fourth wall” moment and it’s just like what are we doing here?

 

This is the most I've ever been embarrassed by an album, jesus christ

 

Yeah...couldn't get through this album. I'm in the camp of I was obsessed with is a real boy in high school and pretty much fell off after that. This dude is just always yelling about cum and his dick, etc. This shit is super annoying and grating. For anyone who likes it, to each their own! Just not for me

 

I was pretty heavy into SA until Hebrews, which I actually did like, just didn't love. Aside from the Darren King thing, I thought "Psyche!" was a half-decent return to form that (initially) had me cautiously optimistic about the rest of the album. Then, of course, I heard some of the other singles and that disappeared.

But, morbid curiosity was always going to get the better of me. I decided to listen while cleaning my bathroom this morning. The song about Max cumming into a toilet for the first time happened to come on while I was scrubbing my Bemis toilet seat. Fun!

I really thought things couldn't go further downhill after "I, Vibrator." I mean, hell, I'd already heard "On Cum" at that point. How could it get worse?

Turns out, it does! That dick is graceful song quite legitimately could be one of the worst things I've ever heard from a professional, semi-successful musician.

 

I don't even know what I would do if I had this on and another human being heard me listening to it. Like, just caught a few lines of lyrics or something.

The shame alone would probably kill me dead on the spot.

 

My mom is living with us right now while we all build a house, and I very purposefully waited until she left to leave errands before I even considered putting this on in any capacity.

If she heard it, I'd probably just move out of my own house and leave it to her.

 

I've had some weird shit playing, but if Hannah walked in on some of these lyrics she'd probably leave me.

Vitamin C's not what I need
I need to feed on period bleed
L.A. to O.C., Forrest for trees
Stephanie, please
We need that good Dick

Gonna lead to multiple divorces in the post-elder-emo-scene.

 

Wowwwwweeee

 

What's he trying to say there? Something about Forrest from Hellogoodbye?
