i love it. i didnt when it was released, i could only tolerate one or two tracks. I saw them live on this tour, and it helped me get into the songs a little more, because they played them with such vengeance live. When I listen to it now, I love it. I think there is some really great things going on, from the sounds to the song writing.

Score is for the review

ima hugeeee saves the day fan and i agree with this guys brian, this cd is fucking horrible. stay what you are and through being cool are clearly their best albums

Dude, Brian you suck.

I wish I could beat the hell out of you with my fists of fury, you stinkin Nazi douche sucker.

Brian is a pile of used douche that is bloody and smells like a fish sandwhich left out in the sun.

Too bad you won't contract penis cancer so that your penis runs off and joins the military, you cock riding whore sniffing cock blower.

I hope your butt is raped hard. And long. A long, hard raping. Poop, CaCa brained pussy.

its a love or hate album

The album has been out for a while and for me it has stood the test of time. I initially wasnt into it as much as the previous album but now i consider them on par with each other. Great pop rock.

i wish i could meet u to beat the crap out of you and knock some sense into you...

Musically, In Reverie is by far their most talented album....by FAR

The ridiculous bass lines, insane guitar chords that till this day nobody can figure out, and the complex drumming all in crazy timing

lemme guess your a Fallout Boy/Senses Fail fan

This review is shit.

Hearing negative things about this album is really getting old.

I don't even like STD that much, and I hate this review. What a fucking waste of time and energy to click and read this.

Fucking hell...

i usually like your reviews and comments but this is horrible.

Stay What You Are is one of my favorite cds...this was the most disappointing follow-up I have ever heard...Chris had his testicles removed and then decided to create a CD of children's lullabies. why, STD, why

ha ha ha... even if i don't somewhat agree with your opinion, i gotta love you for this funny review. seriously.
my opinion- to put the record straight: saves the day is my favorite band. i like their lyrics, their sound, chris conelly's voice, and their unpretentiousness.in fact, i am listening to rocks tonic juice magic from their through being cool cd. i got this cd for christmas and to say this least, was disappointed. what happened to the emotion? the raw youthful innocence that shaped their former cds? i banned it from my cd player and doomed it to lie in the bottom of my closet, next the nelly furtado and will smith forever.
but then it got me thinking... if i had never heard of saves the day's previous album, and i just bought this cd because mtv certified it cool, would i like it?
yes, problaly, because, compared to the mtv likes of good charlotte and simple plan, this is a wonderful cd.
does that make me like it more? no.
but it makes you think...

when i think of saves the day (and i don't abhor ALL of their songs... i liked everything up through TBC and then even liked parts of SWYA), i imagine my anus turning into the anus of a cow or a horse.

you know... the exposed and bare anus that actually turns inside-out and droops out the end like a pleasant and pink velvet sleeve, as it pushes out the lump of dump.

inside out... dump dump dump.

early spring 2000...

a fine show in upstate ny...

saves the day
bigwig
h20

three and a half years later... ASS ASS ASS BUNGSWEAT BUNGSWEAT BUNGSWEAT!!!

if this great show were to be put on today, i would hope bigwig was first, so i could see them and then walk out.

Dear Lord I just shit myself and am embarrassed to say I enjoyed it

Best review on Punknews ever.

You guys= ALL OF YOU YOU DUMB FUCK

mmmm.... Lifetime

stupid people shouldn't have opinions

-this grain of wisdom brought to you by kyle

"you", not "you guys". my bad.

-thriceequalsgod

the breakdown was hillarious.

who is "you guys" and why are they "fags"? how can you tell if someone is gay by reading their comments on some online post they made?

-thriceequalsgod

You are all a bunch of fags give it up

"thriceequalsgenericmetalemobullshitwithahorribledrummerandafats ingerwhosoundslikeatotalpussywhenhetriestoscreamhissongslive"

I would love to comment on every aspect of this quote.

1. thrice equals generic metal emo- There isn't a band out there that sounds just like thrice and if there is its because they copied them. I would love to hear your list of the "generic metal emo" bands. TBS, Thursday, and bands such as a static lullaby are NOTHING like thrice. So, nice try.

2.thrice equals... bullshit- Thrice does not equal bullshit. They are not associated with bulls nor are they associated with the feces that bulls leave. But once again, nice try. At least your trying.

3.And a Fat Singer- Dustin is fat? Maybe he is a little overweight. Does that honestly matter to you? Do you listen to a band because of their looks? If you do I would suggest Simple Plan, Good Charlotte, and N SYNC, because though their music sucks, they are soooo hott. And you can go to shows and make posters saying how much you want them. Its loads of fun.

4.Dustin sounds like a "total" pussy when he tries to scream live- I have yet to hear what a TOTAL pussy sounds like. Ive heard the general pussy sound but I really am looking forward to hearing a TOTAL pussy sing. In response to the comment, I've seen thrice live twice and Dustin does not sound like a pussy, I'm sorry to say I cannot judge if he sounds like a TOTAL pussy but he doesn't sound like a pussy. He actually screams pretty good live.

5. "With a Horrible Drummer"- I would have to say that Riley is one of the better punk drummers. Come to think of it, the only two that I can say are better than Riley, that I have heard or listen to are Jordan from Strung Out and The Reverend Tholomew Plague from Avenged Sevenfold. Once again you are wrong, but I admire your attempts at making fun of thrice.

I must say though, I give you credit. You did try really hard. Some people just suck at making fun of things, someday you will notice how immature and stupid your comments are. Goodnight.

In response to some random comments I read below, Thrice sucks, In Reverie is a mediocre album.

"my opinion is that this piece of writing is shit. no matter how you look at it, it's not a review. whether or not you like std or this cd is a non-issue. it just bothers me that this site would post something that does not even address the music in the cd. it just makes fun of the band with middle school humor. defecation sure is funny. i bet this guy used to be big into ICP and wrestling. he probably said "your mom" a lot too. i know these people. i just hope he doesn't reproduce. and i hope that in the future, when i click on a review, it will actually be a review. not some fictional rant about some band someone hates because the writer has unresolved issues because he was locked in a chair for the first five years of his life, forced to shit on himself. "

hilarious!

-scotty

Suck some dick suck suck some dick..... Suck some dick suck suck some dick

listen you little assholes, if youre going to get in a fight, at least make it decent or shut up. there's no need to say anything bad about thrice (!!!!) if someone says something bad about saves the day. theyre both awesome, just thrice a bit more.

This score is for making dozens of girls orgasm.

-sickboi
(she said she wasn't faking...)

"This CD is really fucking good. You people who wish that STD would keep making Lifetime ripoff records are mongoloids...And to the guy making fun of people defending this CD, you're name is "thriceequalsgod". I don't think you have the place to ever make fun of anyone else's personal tastes ever again. Consider changing your name to "thriceequalsgenericmetalemobullshitwithahorribledrummerandafatsi ngerwhosoundslikeatotalpussywhenhetriestoscreamhissongslive.""


As far as Thrice goes:

Generic metal emo bullshit? Yeah. Real generic. There are lots of bands that sound just like Thrice.

Horrible drummer? Well this means you obviously don't listen to them. I'd like to see your bitch ass drum Deadbolt, A Living Dance Upon Dead Minds, All That's Left, Hoods on Peregrine, etc etc. You don't have to like them, but horrible drummer? C'mon.

Fat singer who sounds like a pussy... ? I won't comment on the fat part because I think you can see your own stupidity there. Didn't sound like a pussy from the live shows I've heard. Huh.

Cliff Notes: You're a ignorant piece of shit.

"in more important news, how good are the lawrence arms?"

Very. This is their deserved score.

"ok, you can't just make up a word, tack "core" onto the end, and expect it to be a type of music."

you cant?

in more important news, how good are the lawrence arms?

Suck some dick

Meh ... I got dragged to a STD show by one of my ex's
Most of the girls there were either fat or ugly ... or both ... so they were fugly ... whoops sorry fuglycore

mikeinflames:

making dozens upon dozens of prepubescant(sp) girls orgasm is far more of an acomplishment than you will ever make.

okay, now being a little more serious, yes. STD now sucks major dick. this album blows, the one before wasn't much better but still; it doesn't touch this. TBS isn't too bad.. they do have some good catchy pop with good lyrics, but i turn your attention to the new Alternative Press (the one with Good Charlotte..yes!). there is an article on the progress of the new TBS album, due in '04. Adam said he was in a depressed mood when he wrote TAYF, but he is happy now, so you can all expect the next album to be very different.

oh yeah, dashboard does suck.

-thriceequals...

"bullshit screamo tardcore"

ok, you can't just make up a word, tack "core" onto the end, and expect it to be a type of music. so please tell me. what is tardcore?

Saves The Day are like Taking Back Sunday and Dashboard ... they need to go far far away
No one cares that you're fucking girlfriend dumped you
No one cares that you still rummage through her garbage at night
No one cares that you still wear a pair of her panties to bed every night
NO ONE FUCKING CARES!
Go do something productive like shoot yourself instead of writing another song about a girl who dumped you because you're a loser

*end rant*

my opinion is that this piece of writing is shit. no matter how you look at it, it's not a review. whether or not you like std or this cd is a non-issue. it just bothers me that this site would post something that does not even address the music in the cd. it just makes fun of the band with middle school humor. defecation sure is funny. i bet this guy used to be big into ICP and wrestling. he probably said "your mom" a lot too. i know these people. i just hope he doesn't reproduce. and i hope that in the future, when i click on a review, it will actually be a review. not some fictional rant about some band someone hates because the writer has unresolved issues because he was locked in a chair for the first five years of his life, forced to shit on himself.

you are a pretentious fuckspot.

please dont make assumptions about my taste in music because of my dislike of you.

just so you all know, the reviewer does like saves the day, loves their first 2 albums, thinks SWYA is a decent disc, and used a metaphor for what he thinks of this disc.

-thriceequals..

"Because, you know, the Lawrence Arms really have the balls to make a CD that's this much of a challenge to everything that got them where they are."

That doesn't make STD better than the Larry Arms.

-Justin

but the cover art really is pretty cool.

this review was funny, no two ways about it. the only people who didnt like this review are the people who like STD. i like cant slow down but thats about it. all their other releases have some good song but also a bunch that i skip regularly. same goes for this cd. i really dont know what i expected from it but i didnt get it.

best line of the review is the one about the juliana theory not wanting to comment. that was prime time.

i hate whoever wrote this more than anything.

i hope you burn in a car accident with...your family.

-drew-

This band sucks

HEY!

Yeah you, you fucking fag! The queer piece of cocksmoking shit that puts shit in parenthesis at the end of his post.

(I'M A FAG)

YOU PUSSY

This cd is Stay What You Are without the sincerity.

It is inaccurate to call this a release on a Universal "imprint." At the time, Dreamworks was totally independent. They were only distributed by UMVD. Get your facts right before writing something like this.

the thing is it DOES talk about the music, just not in the standard way. In the review it is said the cd is shitty, it is weezer influenced, it is slow and boring, and its different lyrically to their other stuff.

"really. one day, maybe you arguers will realize that everyone has a different opinion, and the only person's opinion that matters to you IS YOUR OWN, not someone elses. don't knock someone else because they like something and try to force your opinions on them. it won't work, and if it does, chalk it up to luck. i just hope one day you'll all understand. for those that do, wonderful."

""with everyone bitching about how good the shitty Lawrence Arms are"

The Lawrence Arms are in fact quite good and a thousand times better than this band ever will be.

-Justin
"

Because, you know, the Lawrence Arms really have the balls to make a CD that's this much of a challenge to everything that got them where they are.

This review was idiotic. "In Reverie" on the other hand will be Std's "Ignorance is Bliss"

Saves the Day is an ok band, but that Chris guy is a weirdo. I saw them play Irving Plaza, by the end of the night it was bizarro world. Chris screamed, "I'm god" and proceeded to blow himself. The crowd got sick of his antics and doused him with spit and beer. Then he screamed, "i'll blow all of you." At that point the crowd dispersed ending a horrible night.

all you guys can talk about is : the review sucks or you suck for thinking hte review sucks.

anyhow, this album is brilliant. so catchy. it's good they have moved away from that redundant punk style. a change for good.

"i go on a PUNKNEWS site to read reviews....not kids trying be writers"

all rewiews "are kids trying be writers." God forbid someone gets creative with it.

i go on a PUNKNEWS site to read reviews....not kids trying be writers

Loved the review...sounds like something out of the Onion. I'll have to agree that this is a pretty crappy album as well, Saves the Day has definitely taken a turn for the worse.

Hehehe...

POOPIES!

*runs off giggling*

review sucked.

-scotty

Most of you guys couldn't write a better review if your life depended on it so silence..

i know that this is supposed to be funny, but i'm just not laughing.
and this cd sucks just as much.

Lol omg what a funny review~!

This is one of my favorite albums of the year. If you want to hear some bad cds listen to:Anti Flag-the terror state, and the latest Strike Anywhere(on another note, I don't mean to vent, but bands like the casualties should not be allowed to play their instruments)

Tim Armstrong wants your snatch.

what a shitty review. this cd is great, the songs are very good. try tasting something besides through being cool

this cd blows so much dick that it blowwwwwsssssssss

*sigh*

really. one day, maybe you arguers will realize that everyone has a different opinion, and the only person's opinion that matters to you IS YOUR OWN, not someone elses. don't knock someone else because they like something and try to force your opinions on them. it won't work, and if it does, chalk it up to luck. i just hope one day you'll all understand. for those that do, wonderful.

-Justin

He said, "Rivers Cuomo called, he wanted his chord progressions back. No, really, look." Connelly then proceeded to show AP his cell phone's call log, which had indeed shown several received calls from Cuomo daily since the release date.

haha. that was great. this cd sounds like the beach boys.

Lame. Scott loses points in my book.

"buddyhead wants their catch phrases back"

Well considering I used brah sarcastically, as a shot at all the people who use it to bash Pennywise and other skate punk bands...

this cd isn't good, but you're not funny the score is for you

This is the WORST review ever written. Going all Buddyhead on a cd that every scenester hates already, really fucking original. Damn, this makes me almost want to like the cd...

Somebody write an objective review of MFZB so we can at least get some good arguments going...

"Pennywise jokes are so last year, brah."

buddyhead wants their catch phrases back.

"If you dont like change go listen to Pennywise, they'll be putting out the same album for another 10 years. "

Shut up. There is nothing more annoying than responding to someone with a differing opinion and saying "you should go to this band blah blah." Just because someone doesn't like a particular band you assume that they don't like progressive music. Oh and by the way, Pennywise jokes are so last year, brah.

Should have just left it at my review buddy... you're waaaay off. While this cd is not perfect, it's good, and change is good. If you dont like change go listen to Pennywise, they'll be putting out the same album for another 10 years.

(Thank me later)

This has to be the stupidest review ever.

I mean, I give you an A for trying with the whole analogy thing, but it's really not that creative...or mature for that matter.

If you don't like a CD, then say you don't like and then say WHY. Don't just be like: Wow this CD is like poopies! hehehehehehe!

BTW - I went to two Saves The Day shows in a row, and I have yet to see a 300-pound 10-year-old girl, except for probably on MAury.

Well the AP is dumb as fuck, as his name is Chris Conley.

Secondly, this disc is so much better than this review makes it out to be.

OMG SAEVS THE DEY SIGNED 2 DREAMWERKS!11

Plz write a more biased review. Plz. Or is this commen thread going to turn out like the last one, with everyone bitching about how good the shitty Lawrence Arms are?

Now now, let's leave Saves The Day alone. I'm sure they're happy with their legion of whiney, 300-pound, 10 year old girl fans.

"If you have an IQ over 72 this album is a masterpiece. For all of those who do not there's no shortage of bullshit screamo tardcore out there."

that's one stupid-ass comment. Where's your logic? Is this scientific? I NEED proof, man!!!!
-Janelle

whoever wrote this obviously cant see what music progression is, saves the day isnt a bunch of 17 year olds anymore theve matured, just because your local band cant even book a show at your best friends mothers sisters bbq doesnt mean you should take it out on them

Skip this review, go see Return of the King!

man, whoever wrote this review must think they are a badass, but the truth is is that their shitty local band in buttfuck america just lost a battle oof the bands to some 8th graders in a bowling alley. you said nothing intelligent in that review, dumbass.

Awesome review Brian! Terrible disc.

wanda sykes is funny

you guys are the ones who are the asshats

I always figured Ina was a girl

score is for the review.

this qualifies as a review because...
i'm sorry, but posting this just doesn't make sense.
by the way, a static lullaby is the shittiest pile of shit i've ever had the displeasure of hearing. i think i will heavily criticize them with absolutely no credibility and submit it as a review. if it doesn't get posted, i'm contacting the aclu because i am african american.

good idea on the review.. it was kinda lame and it was nothing near making me laugh out loud.. you had to be one of those guys in high school that told everybody outside high school how funny you were... do it over again, i bet you'll make it 10 times better and funnier...

ps. did you think upon submitting this that it was really funny? funny, i didnt.

Hahaha this is so funny!

look, i can be a tool, too!

anyone defending, er.. trying to defend this cd, is a complete asshat.

If you have an IQ over 72 this album is a masterpiece. For all of those who do not there's no shortage of bullshit screamo tardcore out there.

Connelly??

This cd is better than almost everything else that came out this year because the only thing that sounds anything like it comes from across the world.

The day will come when you all will try to convince everyone that you loved this cd.

funny review, TERRIBLE CD. I mean wow, how could anyone like this. Its the most emotionless waste of time ive ever spent. Its like the tried to make it shitty or they were just lazy.

and yes, Wanda Sykes is the worst person alive.

this is a good cd. fuck you

nice review, nailed that record perfectly.

"seriously, you make wanda sykes look funny."

Uncalled for. Wanda Sykes is like a black, female Hitler.

This in my top 5 reviews of the year. Fucking hilarious. I guess a former Mass Comm major would have to appreciate it.

I can't decide what gives me more laughs, this CD or this review. Kudos, Brian, you nailed this CD perfectly. Shit to the max.

-Scott

I liked this CD. I think it's completely different then what I was expecting them to release but the songs are catchy and I don't mind driving around to them.

-Eric

This score is for the review...
