Say Anything

I haven't had a chance to listen to In Defense yet, but for me, ...Is a Real Boy was very hit or miss. I like the band in general, but I only enjoyed about half of the songs on the album. I tried very hard to listen to the other half of the songs to see if they had more of a "grow on me" factor, but unfortunately I just didn't find anything interesting about them.

For instance, I find that [Woe, Alive With the Glory of Love, Yellow Cat (Slash) Red Cat, The Futile, and Every Man Has a Molly] are great, catchy songs. Unfortunately I can barely listen to the rest of the CD. I have to say, "Admit It!!!" is just ridiculous pseudo intellectual garble, but it was amusing the one time I happened to see them live to watch groups of people cheering on a song in which he was blatantly making fun of them. The chorus is fairly catchy as well.

Those were my impressions of the band.. I did spend a lot of time with "...Is a Real Boy" and gave it more than enough chances. The songs I liked, I loved, and the songs I didn't like, I hated. I guess that's why I haven't bothered to pick up the new album.

They are really good. My 2 favourites are also Alive With The Glory Of Love, and WOW. I also think that those are there 2 most well known. I dislike there song about eating little girls for breakfast or whatever....

I listend to the bonus track on Was a Real Boy only once and I would have to say that my favorite one song on that c.d. is I will never write an obligatory song about being on the road and missing someone.

They don't eat little girls, it kill little girls.
The title of the song is Little Girls.

Way out of my comfort zone. Something I was forced to listen to, and I remember one song catching my attention 'Alive With The Glory Of Love'. This is written from the perspective of a a Jewish couple in Europe during WWII which leads me to believe at least maybe the lead singer has a few interesting thoughts to provoke.
