This is a great album, but I still don't get how anybody can call it their best.

They never released a bad album. Every release was really good start to finish. Their best?

Something to write home about.

Preston (October 30, 2008)

agreed.

Though, I used to listen to this band non-stop, but I believe they sort of pittered out and my interest went with them. I'd love to see them live again though.

baldsteve (October 30, 2008)

Why? I think its their best lp. I think they have better eps though. I got them as they came out. Later records might as well have been New Amsterdams records

i could never get into this band.

capn jazz and rainer maria i LOVE...but couldn't ever get into the get up kids. i think i had on cd that was alright...it just never stuck...

Report

baldsteve (October 30, 2008)

Funny. I saw these dudes with rainer maria once.

Capnjazz were fun too. I liked these guys, just preferred them early on

kevgren (October 30, 2008)

I'm definitely not knocking the album. It's a really good second wave emo album, and a few of their best songs are on it. I guess I just feel like they didn't really find their own sound until later on.

hate_the_scene (October 30, 2008)

it is the best. something to write home about had 5 good songs on it, but only good not amazing, and everything after sucked balls. its Reggies fault, dammit

Eudora or the Red Letter Day / Woodson CD?

I guess Doghouse has to recoup expenses on all those Weatherbox and Limbeck albums somehow.

Limbeck are awesome.

also doghouse had max bemis on their roster back in the day, maybe they should charge 150 per song for say anything cds.

I love this band, when I first heard Four Minute Mile it opened me up to a lot of great bands that I still listen to today; Braid, Rainer Maria, Sunny Day Real Estate, etc.

While I do like The New Amsterdams, Reggie and the Full Effect, the Terrible Twos, Blackpool Lights, and Matt Pryor's solo stuff that isn't the New Ams, none of them will ever be as good as The Get Up Kids.

The Terrible Twos, though, will always be cuter.

I know it isn't on this record, but "I'm a loner dottie, a rebel" is one of my favorite songs ever.

Excuse me, I have to go retrieve my manhood.

I fucking love that song. It used to be my favorite by them as well. As of right now, it's probably 'Central Standard Time'.

I love this band, but this album is pure garbage. It tries to sounds pretty, but the sound quality is crap. It also inspired a thousand crappy high school emo bands who did that boring quiet/loud thing.

the pixies pretty much invented that quiet/loud thing. and if you think that the pixies are boring...well, im just sorry.

I hate emo bands and make fun of them all the time, but this is a great record, still one of my altime faves. These guys are the exception to the rule.
