yeah what bee said! I also had to add that I really like running threw the gardens and destiny rule and even thrown down!!!!! but for some reason I wasnt really getting intill murrow turnes in his grave its kind of a weird song, and the chorus is kinda confusing! but that's what I think! so to put my story in conclusion, it was a bomb! that was the second album that I got of the mac, before I went crazy and collecting stuff!

At the end of the day, music in its root form wasn't about sales figures or money made. It was about telling a story, reaching hearts. And in that sense, Say You Will could never be a failure. Speaking on a personal level, it was my gateway album. And I would probably have lost interest in my only greatest hits album if I hadn't have gotten my hands on this album when I did and realised how much the band has to offer. If you single each song out, then they work. They're beautifully crafted, lyrically sublime and works of art in their own right. Maybe they don't work together as a whole, but you don't listen to the album as a whole, do you? You listen to each song individually and come to your own judgements, so why judge how it was put together and how disjointed it is so harshly?
My heart was affected for the better by this album, so it was a success. It reached somebody. That was the point.
