...Is a Real Boy

by Say Anything

...Is a Real Boy cover art

Recorded during frontman Max Bemis's severe struggles with bipolar disorder, this sprawling rock opera is a chaotic, hyper-literate dissection of the era's emo subculture. The incredibly theatrical production swings violently between infectious power-pop hooks, blistering post-hardcore, and scathing, self-deprecating satire.
