I'm having trouble writing a review for this album, more than likely because I cant stop listening to it long enough to concentrate, so I will make this short. Say Anything's follow up to the great "...Is A Real Boy", is an amazing album that continues the musical tradition of defying limitations as well as expectations. "In Defense of the Genre", a double disc concept album, tells the story of singer/lyricist Max Bemis falling in love for the first time and ultimately losing that love. The story is split up between two CD's and makes for a completely different experience for each CD. The first CD is a great display of the musical range of Say Anything, with more musical style packed into the first four songs than most bands have in an entire album. While the second CD is more of a straightforward approach to music, with a less upbeat mood than the previous. While the second CD is a very good, it comes up just short of being as great as the first. Bemis provides great vocals, showing off great range in songs such as "That Is Why", along with some extremely well written and diverse lyrics. This is the album that will more than likely end up at the top of my list at then end of the year; it is an amazing album that has at the very least equaled the great album that preceded it.

nice, I'll try and get a review up sometime soon too
Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso. (If he will be possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll I thankful, bye friend).
