![]() ![]() The ambitious and incomparable guitar-less “Hebrews” may get lost in the shuffle of other amazing Say Anything LPs, but we implore you to give it another spin. West to write a disjointed but eventually-deleted social media post, and the many, many guest features which, like the next-to-be-mentioned LP, would put a scene band in hip-hop territory. We truly, truly wish that 2014’s “Hebrews’ was the one that Max played for Kanye in so many ways, namely for its seven-letter title, which would inspire Mr. ![]() This section of our soon-to-be-viral Say Anything album ranking piece, which starts again just after this article’s halfway point intermission, contains our second of two Kanye West references. Play it again: “Colorblind” Skip it: “The Last Great Punk Rock Song” 4. You’re shamelessly wrong if you attempt to poorly critique us for such and anything else in the comments. Again, like we mentioned in the opening of this sterling piece, as staunch sticklers for accuracy and brilliance, none of the other EPs and compilations count as proper full-lengths. Get it? Regardless if you’re an OG fan or not, this is a hell of a debut, and gets further highlighted (sic we’re clever, but not as clever as Max) on 2013’s three-plus-hour-long expansive compilation “All My Friends Are Enemies: Early Rarities,” also containing 2000’s “Junior Varsity” EP, 2002’s “Menorah/Majora” EP, the “Dormroom Demos,” and other SA rarities. Baseball: An Album by Sayanything (2001)Ģ001’s “Baseball: An Album by Sayanything” is the band’s sole DIY-release LP before a well-deserved bidding war ensued and foreshadowed the band’s not-so-colorblind bright future. Play it again: “Pink Snot” Skip it: “Fired” 5. However, this potential swan song full-length opens up with and contains the band’s best song title, “The Band Fuel,” and we’re not taking any more shimmering questions on the matter. ![]() The latter is certainly the case for 2019’s “Oliver Appropriate”, which at fourteen songs clocking in at just under thirty-five minutes, feels really, really short for a typically-verbose-in-the-best-way Say Anything LP. Sometimes albums are way too long to effectively digest (more on that later), and other times records leave you thirsty as fuck in a non-creepy literal manner that would still likely get you canceled. Play it again: “Admit It Again” Skip it: “Anarchy, My Dear” 6. Still, this full-length is inconsistent when one compares it to the band’s other six albums listed next. “Admit It Again,” track four of 2012’s “Anarchy, My Dear,” was a then-modern inspired part-two to Say Anything’s perfect song “Admit It!” and it has some hot, thought-provoking hot takes, and many legit guffaws. Anarchy, My Dear (2012)Īs evident with our “play it again” section below for “Anarchy, My Dear,” Say Anything’s debut LP for Equal Vision Records, we’re all about song sequels. Play it again: “So Numb” Skip it: “Wire Mom” 7. Even its album cover photo looks like an iPhone pic from someone stealing your mobile device at a bar during a quick White Claw piss break. To prove such, surprise albums from noteworthy acts often get a lot of PR, but buzz seemed to fade about this one shortly after its release. Say Anything songs often inspire repeated listens due to their many, many easter eggs, but this abrasive-in-a-meh-way album lacked ample replay value. I Don’t Think It Is (2016)ĭespite Kanye West, the alt-right’s most critically-acclaimed soldier, listening to an exclusive advance of a Jewish man’s record, Say Anything’s 2016 LP “I Don’t Think It Is” is a twelve-track experiment that went alt-wrong. We ranked all of these LPs, and although the band’s 2001 debut record “Baseball: An Album by Sayanything” isn’t in the gold medal slot, we implore you to keep reading this treacherous sea of words that both you and Molly Connolly are certainly incorrect about. ![]() Anyway, over the course of its extensive career that started at the turn of the century, Say Anything released eight albums, several EPs, and various singles including 2023’s “Psyche!” the band’s first effort since 2018. Because of this noteworthy stat and so, so much more, Bemis is a true punk alongside a stretch of disingenuous posers attempting to play catch-up. Max Bemis, the band’s quick-witted and prolific Brian Wilson-esque figure composer was mentally ill LONG before every band consisting of miscreant members like dick-nugget Trumpie bitch-ass Mike Love bogusly cashed in on said sanity trend. Prioritizing one’s mental health ain’t no laughing matter and neither are Los Angeles’ Say Anything. ![]()
