When You're Through Thinking, Say Yes is the seventh studio album released by American rock band Yellowcard on March 22, 2011 under Hopeless Records. The album has received positive reviews. The album's title comes from a text message sent to a girl by lead singer Ryan Key.
Later the following year, the band released an acoustic version of the album.
Following the band's reformation after their hiatus (from 2008–2010), they immediately began working on their new album. Ryan Key, who had previously been in a small project with Reeve Oliver vocalist/guitarist Sean O'Donnell (who was chosen as Pete Mosely's replacement after he declined to return) called "Big If", confirmed that some of Big If's songs were going to be reworked by Yellowcard and included on the new album.
On August 3, 2010, the band announced that they were going into the studio on September with Neal Avron to record the new album. While in the studio, they revived "Yellowcard Sessions" (Yellowcard's YouTube updates), and recorded studio updates that were shown originally on Rock Sound magazine's website. On November 8, 2010, Yellowcard finished recording their seventh studio album.
On November 13, 2010, the new album title was announced to be When You're Through Thinking, Say Yes at a show at the Glass House in Pomona, California, where they also played "For You and Your Denial," the first song to be played from the album. Ryan Key confirmed that there would not be a title track. On December 9, 2010, the artwork for the album was posted on the official site of the band. On January 5, 2011, the band revealed the album's track list. The first single to be released from the album was "For You, and Your Denial", which was released January 18, 2011, on iTunes. The band also stated that there will be 2 full-band bonus tracks not featured on the main track list, one of which ("Promises") was released with the album on iTunes, the other one being a re-done version of the Big If song "Empty Street" which was actually later included on their eponymous tenth and final album.
On February 22, 2011, the music video for "For You and Your Denial" debuted on MTV2 and MTVU. The same day, the track "Hang You Up" was released as the second single off the album. On October 24, 2011, Yellowcard released an Acoustic version of When You're Through Thinking, Say Yes. It features all ten of the album tracks, with special guest vocalist Cassadee Pope from Hey Monday featured on "Hang You Up." In March, the band went on a UK tour alongside All Time Low and Young Guns. From late March to early May, the band supported All Time Low on their US tour. In late September and early October, the band toured Australia as part of the Soundwave Counter-Revolution festival. On October 25, the music video for "Sing For Me" debuted on MTV2. In November and December, the band performed a few co-headlining shows with Saves the Day in the UK.
