No, his lyrics got super redundant and boring. He has flashes of interesting stuff, but for the most part it's all kind of simplistic. 

Agreed.  Through Being Cool is probably my favorite album of all time, though I love SWYA and Can't Slow Down.  His lyrics were creative and unique until In Reverie, now they just seem trite and generic.

Chris's lyrics have always stayed in the same realm as far as I can tell, they're either nonsensical and over imaginative, violent, or angsty. Under The Boards was very similar to SWYA in many regards, just look at the lyrics to Woe (which are good), those lyrics aren't a huge departure. All bands lose a bit of their luster, but Saves The Day has never really bombed (like Transit, hah!).

If you bought any other items for less than $2 that day, you can include them in your total and drive that average price even lower. Gum, parking meter fees, etc.

Nope. I bought $160 worth of records. 80 records. $2 a record.

And I was in a neighborhood uptown that didn't have metered parking that day :)

Yeah I think that Saves (for me) is actually one of the most consistently good bands. Sure, many of their albums sound completely different, but it would suck for them to write the same thing over and over and over. A band that's continually pushing themselves (by sometimes playing 50 song, 5 hour long sets) that always maintains a fairly high quality of music.

Until everyone here sees a list of these records it will be assumed you payed $159.21 for TBC and one cent per record for the other 79.

You should take my word for it that I got 80 records for $2 a piece. But fine. This was in 2009, so I don't recall all the records, and they weren't all gems, but highlights include:

Lifetime - Hello Bastards (Purple)

Kid Dynamite - Kid Dynamite (Red)

Kid Dynamite - Shorter Louder Faster  (Green)

These Arms Are Snakes -This Is Meant To Hurt

Hey Mercedes - Everything Fireworks

Owls - S/T (before repress)

Pedro The Lion - Control

Bright Eyes - There Is No Beginning To The Story

Decendents - Everything Sucks

Cursive - Domestica

Cursive - Ugly Organ

Piebald - We Are The Only Friends We Have

Minus The Bear - Highly Refined Pirates

Bright Eyes - Lifted or The Story...

Gorilla Biscuits - Start Today (2nd Press)

At The Drive-In - Vaya

The Get Up Kids - Two EP's LP

Pinback - Blue Screen Life

Misfits - Legacy of Brutality (early press)

Saves The Day - Through Being Cool

I sold most of it and tripled my money. And I kept a bunch of stuff too. It was a good day.
