I can completely back the opinions given. Hum is probably my favorite
band. Sunny Day is almost as high up as them. I just recently got
interested in sunny day and they are already in 2nd place. If you haven't
got a chance to hear hum, do it. They aren't quite as emotionally driven
and climatic in the same obvious way as sunny day but their songs are like
overtures, especially on the new album. Incredible drumming, insane guitar
work including layering, effects, and awesome time signiture usage. A bit
slower (why do I like LP2 the best?), a bit harder and incredibly dynamic.
