In Reverie

In Reverie is a Pop music album recorded by Princeton, New Jersey-based band, Saves the Day. It is their fourth studio album.
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.
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.[1]
In Reverie is Saves The Day's highest-charting album to date, reaching number 27 on the Billboard 200 Album Chart in 2003. [2] According to the "Biography" section of Saves The Day's website, the album has sold over 150,000 copies.

Unreleased tracks
There are three unreleased tracks that were recorded at the same time, but not released on the album: "Don't Go Outside", "Coconut", and "Blossom." "Don't Go Outside" was most likely excluded because it is very reminiscent of the previous albums being fast paced and far removed from the general tone of In Reverie. Coconut, on the other hand, is an acoustic ballad. The unreleased songs, however, could be downloaded for free on the band's homepage requiring only a legal copy of In Reverie in the CD-slot.
Following In Reverie, Saves the Day released Ups and Downs: Early Recordings and B-sides, but the three unreleased songs from In Reverie were not included.
