Overview Edit

In Reverie is the fourth studio album by American rock band Saves the Day, released through DreamWorks Records on September 16, 2003.

Upon its release, the album immediately received much controversy due to the drastically new creative direction taken by lead-singer/guitarist and song-writer Chris Conley. Their two previous albums, Stay What You Are and Through Being Cool were received favorably and displayed a trademark style of the band based on pop punk chord progressions, angst-ridden and often disturbingly graphic lyrics, and catchy lead-guitar riffs.

With In Reverie, the music suddenly became far more musically sophisticated and mellow in every aspect. Chris Conley's voice also changed, becoming much softer and nasal in timbre. Steve Evetts, producer of Saves the Day albums Can't Slow Down, Through Being Cool, and Sound the Alarm described the vocals as if "Chris were singing while sitting on the couch eating a ham sandwich".

Within weeks of the album's release, the DreamWorks record label which In Reverie had been released on was absorbed by Interscope Records. Not long after that Saves the Day were dropped from Interscope.

In Reverie is Saves the Day's highest-charting album to date, reaching number 27 on the Billboard 200 album chart in 2003.

4 stars The "Emo Kids" need to shut up
I dont expect this review to be popular, since everyone seems to hate this album, but, here it goes. Im so sick of "emo" (i hate that word) kids hating anything thats not whiny. Im not saying this cd is perfect, or that saves the day hasnt changed their sound, but it sure doesnt sound like ANYTHING weezer has ever played (i would know since I own most of their albums) and none of the songs sound the same at all. You poor closed minded teens, will you ever listen to music thats not punk or emo. L…

2 stars What a disappointment
I was looking forward to this cd for a long time. As with all the Saves The Day cds, I bought it without even hearing a song. Their previous efforts are just amazing. But his is such a disappointment. What the heck happened to their sound. Simply put this cd is Stay What You are with VERY few catchy hooks and a very irritating sound. The STD that I loved is quickly becoming a memory. If you are new to Saves The Day, buy Can't Slow Down or Through Being Cool, those are the cds that made STD into …
