The Ties Between "Is a Real Boy" and "Anarchy, My Dear"
 

Max Bemis talks with Billboard about the connections between ...Is a Real Boy and the band's upcoming album.

From the Article

There's a sense of chaos and an anything-can-happen sort of excitement. That was one of the defining characteristics of "…Is A Real Boy' and why people connected with it, was a certain amount of "I don’t give a fuck." IT'’s like revisiting those themes, but where I can actually sort of tackle them with a clear head.

I wouldn't really say that characterizes the album as a whole, but it's certainly more prevalent on this album than the self-titled. Regardless, I really enjoy their new album. Can't wait to see the new material live.

Oh, this again...

Wait. So he holds back on the new songs and can't even say the word "bitch," but has no problem dropping the f-bomb in an interview?

I like the interview. However, I need to listen to the CD again to understand more of what he's saying. I want to find the rebellion he speaks of.

I actually lol'd

what a joke - new album is the worst thing he's ever released

Are they still pretending this album didn't leak a while ago?

I would add my two cents on the album, but that picture of the band and, specifically, Coby, is freaking me out. I'm really hoping that's just a really bad spray tan and not a skin condition or something.

he's gone super fitness guru, so no doubt it's awful spray tan.

Made me laugh though.

Well he probably did that out of respect for his wife as he uses her as a muse for the rebirth of Say Anything. Interviews are a different medium, all bets are off.

I don't know what to think of the new album yet.

Oh. This again.

So I can blame his wife for this new album?

haha, what?
