Free Music Notes for In Defense of the Genre
Free Music Review: Took quite a few listens, but i love it.
Hit: 5 Stars
Allright, after having ...was a realy boy in heavy rotation shortly before this came out, it was a no brainer. I had it for a couple of months before I gave it all that much attention. I have listened to this album A LOT. To be honest, I don't see what all the bitchin is about. It seems to be a lot like the last album which is fine with me, I love them both. At a glance, it seems to be different, more electronic sounding, but when you get down to it, it's fantastic and really pretty similar to the last. So, if you loved Was/is a real boy, i think you'll probably love this too.Free Music Review: A double album? Necessary?
Hit: 4 Stars
...Is A Real Boy is a classic. It's one of my favorite complete albums. Ever.
In Defense of the Genre didn't need to be two albums. It could have stood on it's own as one (long!) album by cutting out some of the... er, b.s. tracks.
Regardless, Say Anything still rocks the f-ing house so this is totally worth owning.
Max rocks.
I don't understand all the religion in this album, but, then again, it is considered a "concept album." Perhaps thats why it HAD to be two discs.
Free Music Review: Say Anything pwns!
Hit: 5 Stars
Say Anything is amazing. I liked "Is a Real Boy" better, but this album is more experimental and unique, so it's definately worth listening to.Free Music Review: U Tube videos are better!
Hit: 3 Stars
I liked some of these, but I liked the ones I saw on U Tube where they were performing electrically or acoustically at a club, better than the album versions.Free Music Review: A Little Bit of Everything

Just shortly after ...Was a boy was released, Bemis and his crew have returned for another Say Anything CD. with In Defense of the Genre, Max has given us 27 new tracks. now before i even bought the CD i realized that there was going to be a lot of filler, which there is. its very hard to put out a pop-punk CD with zero filler these days, especially a double disc effort. that being said, there are some highlights. Skinny Mean Man, In Defense of the Genre, People Like You, and I Used to Have a Heart are all classic Say Anything songs. for those of you who like the more acoustic side theres An Insult to the Dead and Goodbye Young Tutor. where this album loses its credibility with me are the more poppy sounding songs. About Falling belongs on an old Blink 182 album and so does Girlfriend.
overall, this is a decent album. people will argue that its not Baseball or Menorah/Majora but those days are over. this is the new Say Anything sound and its whats going to continue. this CD is worth the purchase, just be ready to skip over a few tracks
