      Has anyone heard this album yet? It's a side project featuring both Chris Conley (who write all of Saves The Day's songs) and Max Bemis (Who writes all of Say Anything's stuff) with the drummer from Say Anything and the other guitar player from Saves The Day on bass.

      All it's missing is Jim Adkins from Jimmy Eat World.

      The line up is:

      Chris Conley: Guitar / Vocals
      Max Bemis: Guitar / Vocals
      David Soloway: Bass
      Coby Linder: Drums

      All songs by Conley and Bemis.

      EDIT: Wow, I love this. Easily my early pick for album of the year for '09.

      Does it sound like old STD?

      Actually, it's kind of all of the place style-wise. There's a song that reminds me of In Reverie, a song that reminds me of … Is A Real Boy, and Stay What You Are, and even Through Being Cool and so on. But there's sort of a new flavour in them too.

      It just really clicks with me.

      Apparently iTunes has two bonus tracks. One of Max Bemis covering Third Engine, and Chris Conley doing a song from the last Say Anything album.

      I really like Is A Real Boy, but haven't heard the second album much.

      I love Saves the Day, I just love that sound. I don't know, I guess that's a variation of Emo, right? I mean, that genre is thrown around so much, who really knows what it means anymore. I'd classify old STD as emo, but I'd also classify MCR as emo, to which Gerard Way has said they are not emo and emo is, in fact, a big pile of shit.

      Saves The Day has always been a huge exception to the genre for me. Along with Jimmy Eat World and the Get Up Kids.

      The first album was definitely Emo. A hardcore punk influence with the whiny style vocals (in fact it sounds a lot like that band 'Lifetime', if you've ever heard them) and is, IMO, not very good.

      Through Being Cool was almost pop-punk in it's approach but with a sort of 80s underground feel to it. Hard to describe, but FUCK what a good album. Stay What You Are is just a great power-pop album. Everything is perfect on it.

      But I wouldn't call either of those albums Emo.

      In Reverie would have been AMAZING if the songwriting held up the whole way through. Such a weird psychedelic feel to it. Their last two albums are probably closer to Emo than anything they've ever done since the debut, but with songs as great as Eulogy, that's just fine with me.

      They probably lean closer to pop-punk and power-pop than Emo, I'd say.

      I'm not quite sure why they keep getting lumped into that genre. Just like Jimmy Eat World are more dream pop and The Get Up Kids are pop-rock and neither are really emo at all other than a bit on their first albums.

      The lyrics, mostly. Hell, that's how it got it's name.

      Oh yeah, his lyrics are pretty intense. But I'm not sure if that counts. It feels a bit more goth to me than emo.
