Say Anything’s new album actually got pushed back to November 3rd for some reason. Sucks, cuz I loooove the new songs on their myspace! I personally loved IDOTG, but a lotta people didn’t seem too into it, or at least not as into as IARB/WARB, and even some of their prior discography. I personally thought IDOTG was a masterpiece, but it’s cool that they seem to be going back to the sound found on their earlier releases, but in a progressive way.
