Part 1: In Reverie by Saves The Day.
To kick off I’ve chosen In Reverie by New Jersy pop punks, Saves The Day. It came down to this album and Stay What You Are, but In Reverie just sneaked the win. For the purpose of this series I’m going to put aside all my memories that are linked to this band (which is quite a lot) and focus purely on this album and just how God damn ace it is.
(Very) brief album history; Released in 2003 via Vagrant and the ill fated Dreamworks Records, it featured slightly less darker subject matter than what went previously but has a more melodic quality about it. The troubled release only spawned 1 single from it’s 12 tracks.
Despite it’s troubled history I think it’s a great album. Especially to design to. There’s a sweet flow between the tracks throughout the whole album and melodic choruses sweep in and out and take you back to that neverending summer. You know the one. Favourite track? I’ll go with the title song, ‘In Reverie’. It breaks in, scoops you up and flies you away, showing you the world below.
