Well,
I have only been a SDRE fan for about 5 months but I do own all 3 of their
albums and I love them all. But a friend of mine and I were discussing the
change in style of music and Lyrical content on HIFTBSO compared to Diary. My
friend is (by far) all about the style presented on Diary compared to
HIFTBSO. His idea is that Diary had a lot more passion and HIFTBSO was more
of a "reunion" type record where they all tried to get back together and
write a score of music that was just thrown together for sake of Keeping a
name for themselves in the music society. I personally love BOTH albums. I
love Diary's style but I also feel the change in HIFTBSO was a more aged,
experienced effort at the music. While lyrically HIFTBSO it not as adequate I
believe the music is just as good but that they had approached the musical
writing process from a different angle that was unique and more in the
direction the band was headed. Does anyone else think that HIFTBSO is just as
good also but in a different way? -Cassidy
