7. Ups & Downs: Early Recordings And B-Sides (2004)

“With this new B-sides record, they’re letting us back into what they truly sound like. These early recordings are great pieces to bring us back to their amazing and truthful sound. I’ve seen them live so many times, that it was just about time they put those unreleased tracks to work.”

6. Saves The Day (2013)

“Saves The Day puts out another great album! I’ve been a fan for a long time and this CD fails to disappoint. From beginning to end, you’ll find that all the tracks on this album are fun to listen to. It’s refreshing to hear music with such positive energy. It’s not a concept album. There’s no political agenda or “screw you” to the mainstream. It’s just a bunch of guys having fun and hoping their fans will come along for the ride.”

5. Sound The Alarm (2006)

“I think Sound the Alarm is an awesome album. In Reverie was a great turning point for STD musically, and thank god for that, because it lead to this CD. I’m a huge fan of this band, and am pretty preferential to Stay What You Are, personally, but none of their music has ever let me down, and this is definitely one of their best albums.”

4. Can’t Slow Down (1998)

“Can’t Slow Down is so full of youthful energy and that certain “thing” that makes things just click. This album is fast, and it flows oh so smoothly. Every song just roars by one after the other, and there is little to no breaks in the onslaught. No slow whiny songs, no “Freakish”, just 1:00 to 3:00 burst of energy. Don’t misunderstand me, this isn’t an onslaught in the “rip your head off and bust your eardrums” style, but a non-stop flow of rock (dare I say punk rock?) aimed at doing nothing but getting your head bobbing and you singing along.”

3. In Reverie (2003)

“Being a big fan of Saves the Day I was kinda skeptical about how this new cd would sound like. Happy to say the first time I listen to the album I fell in love with it! These guys know how to rock it out. This is my favorite Saves the Day cd since “Through Being Cool” came out. The best songs on the Reverie would in no doubt be “driving in the dark”, “In reverie”, “in my waking life”, “wednesday the third”, and “Tomorrow too late.”

2. Through Being Cool (1999)

“Their music is punky and poppy at the same time, the singer has a very powerful voice, but they’re not really obviously derivative of any one band. They have really catchy melodies, but their words are, well, weird. Not as in a bad weird, it’s a good weird. It’s a very interesting weird. And the booklet is awesome, with the funny little “party” story.”

1. Stay What You Are (2001)

“The songs are all catchy and yet not trite. The chord choices are pleasant and familiar but not so much that it sounds like everything you’ve ever heard before. The songs are also instrumentally well-crafted — the guitars play off each other and are rarely playing the same thing unless special emphasis is needed. The licks and runs they throw in dance around each other at times, and it almost makes you forget to listen to the lead singer’s stuck-in-your-head melodies.”
