In Reverie is the fourth studio album by the American rock band Saves the Day.

Composition

In Reverie showed the band continuing to explore even more than the sounds on Stay What You Are. The music became far more musically sophisticated and mellow in every aspect. Conley's voice also changed, becoming much softer and nasal in timbre.

"What Went Wrong" is about a kid who is being strip-searched despite having done nothing wrong.[6]

Release

On June 10, 2003 In Reverie was announced for release.[6] It was released through DreamWorks on September 16.[7] A few weeks after the album's release, DreamWorks was absorbed by Interscope Records and not long after, Saves the Day were dropped from the label.[8]

In April 2009, the band was tentatively planning to re-release the album with up to 12 additional tracks, including demos and B-sides.[9]

In Reverie is Saves the Day's highest-charting album to date, reaching number 27 on the Billboard 200 album chart in 2003.[16] The album was a commercial disappointment for the band and would soon change the bands direction in their next two albums Sound the Alarm and Under the Boards.
