CD Reviews

Heartfelt sincerity! So great.

"When their self titled was released in June 2005 on Fearless Records, I'll be the first to admit I didn't give it a chance. Alas, the disc got buried deeper and deeper my box of promotional CD's and eventually I forgot about them.



Flash forward 6 months to early 2006, when my bud Adam at Fearless Records mentions the new album was going to be produced by Matt Squire (who produced one of my favorite albums of 2005, The Receiving End Of Sirens' "Between The Heart And The Synapse"). My ears are perking up more and more; and when I finally received my copy of "Antidote For Irony" in the mail, I resented myself for ignoring this band in the first place.



With the impending loss of a loved one very close to the members of So They Say, "Antidote For Irony" was written to expose their inner-display. These days, words like "heartfelt" and "sincere" are tossed around like dust in the wind, but in this case it means so much more. Lyrics on this record like "I'll know all I need to know to bury you" ("In Essence, We Are Falling") or "I don't think you're ready to go" ("The Burden") only encapsulate some of the feelings the band feels to put on stage here.



And how's the music? Sure, it's nothing truly unheard of before: poppy, hooky choruses and blasting guitars powerfully soar, sounding sensational thanks to another splendid production effort by Squire. But something about this disc is beyond infectious: maybe it's the sheer honesty, but despite the bitter taste the lyrics leave in your mouth, this album won't do anything but make you feel good. How's that for ironic?



If you're into aggressive, catchy, and super-infectious pop-punk with a slew of energy, So They Say's debut LP just might do it for you. As a newfound fan of the band, I can say that maybe it's the fact I wasn't expecting much that made this such an exciting, wonderful experience."
So They Say rising stars.

"I orginally bought their first CD due to the fact that they had a solid fanbase and i've heard good things of them. I love their EP and this debut album is no different. They are just a great band, i mean they can sing yet they still have some heavy parts. I'd suggest picking up the EP first and then picking this album up. They are diffently a band to keep an eye on.
