Saw these guys back in 2002 with Ben Kweller, Seafood and Dashboard Confessional.

Same and I forgot until just now that Ben Kweller played.

I also saw them in 2001 with Saves The Day, Dashboard Confessional and Hot Water Music.

"All Things Ordinary" is one of the greatest songs of all time so I voted for it.

The only reason I remembered Kweller was there was because I was kinda into him at the time and I knew there had to be another band beyond The Anniversary to get me to actually brave the Dashboard crowds at House of Blues.

That was my first time hearing Ben Kweller and his album Sha Sha from that year still holds up.

I left during Dashboard and ran out of gas on the way home! Fun times.

Voted D In Detroit. Still lodged in my brain even though I haven't actually heard this album in years (might have to revisit).

one year passes...

i kept your picture just behind the eye
those weeks when our distance grew
drove north where i found you waiting in des moines
thank god i'm not losing you

and girl i hope you're not alone
and sleep through this weather
and girl i hope you're whole again
back home we'll sleep better

I’m a your majesty Stan myself

That's good too and after it came out I was convinced it was the better of the two, but two decades later and I still return to the debut far more often.

But the second disc of their rarities comp has some other really terrific stuff in the Your Majesty vein.
