rcafilm Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Broke down and listened to the Spotify stream. I actually really dig the album. Sure, there's a couple of cheesy parts, and the first half of The Shape of Love to Come is just not good. But overall it's another solid addition to the discography and I think I like it better than Anarchy. Looking forward to hearing it on vinyl, I do think it's going to do nicely on wax.

andy. Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 How many times can you say "swastika" before it becomes annoying? Nashy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayteamanis Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 How many times can you say "swastika" before it becomes annoying? I was thinking the same thing earlier. That song musically would probably be my favorite on the album, but that whole part of shouting swastika a dozen times in a bridge is kinda... killing the goodness of it. Overall the album's a bit better than expected, mostly due to the complaints of no guitars, but live, this thing should rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchard Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 but live, this thing should rock. Thats the feeling I got from it. Hopefully this opinion becomes fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rynflnnry Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 i tried to give the album a listen on my way home this morning. made it up to the song that featured Aaron Weiss. hearing him made me decide to stop torturing myself and put on mwY instead.

stl_ben Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 When will people learn they don't have to listen to things? If you don't like it then move on and try something else. No need to shit on someone else's party! rcafilm, nightonthesun, THE_James_Champ and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wursty Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I'm currently listening to this album on Spotify, I enjoy the different guest vocals such as Andy Hull and Aaron Weiss. Maybe down the road when I invest in a new stereo system and turntable after I get my new apartment I'll get the album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamescandeletta Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I just listened to this all the way through for the first time last night and I honestly think (unpopuler opinion) this is the best Say Anything album. FailureByDesign 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3arl Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Just spun it and I'm definitely into it. It also came with a signed booklet which is cool. The blue basically looks black unless you hold it up to the light, but then it looks really cool. rcafilm and CVHX 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museummouth Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I'm enjoying the album a lot. Definitely their best since IDOTG. 3arl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle_ftl Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 This album is seriously so good... so much of a step up from the previous one. Regardless, it's not like Say Anything ever releases bad music, just nothing has ever been as good as ...Is A Real Boy. This may be the best one since.

ksleap Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Did anyone else order the test press bundle? I just got mine in the mail and everything looks great but theres no handwritten lyrics. When i went back to the site to see if i was mistaken it looks like they changed the picture. i could have sworn the picture had a test press in a white sleeve with the lyrics written on the outside. i know it was just a mock up but in the description it still says handwritten lyrics. i just want to see if i am missing something.

torres Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Best album since In Defense Of The Genre. Very cohesive. Unlike Self-Titled and Anarchy, Hebrews doesn't come across like a bunch of songs just thrown together on an album with little regard to flow or song sequencing. There is a general theme/concept. Basically, it plays like an album, which is the same feeling I had about Is A Real Boy and even In Defense Of The Genre. I also LOVE the fact that Max tried something drastically different with this album, rather than a re-hash of the other albums. As an Incubus fan, it reminds me of If Not Now When, which most fans despised, but I actually appreciated for similar reasons. Originally was concerned for the album due to the singles released, but now I enjoy the singles when listening to them within the context of the record. jamescandeletta 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcafilm Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Got my copy in and I have to say the blue looks even better in person. Will be spinning it and the new 7" version of Try To Remember, Forget later tonight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katamari Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 This is my favourite Say Anything release since IARB. Cohesive and well thought out. I literally give no shits that this album doesn't have guitars on it. Sounds great. Also there's a UK 180 gram press of the vinyl coming out in mid July it would seem.
