I would definately recommend diary first, because it was their first...In my
experience, the people that hear HIFTBSO first, seem to not end up liking
sdre as much they should be liked. you know? Hearing the albums in the
order in which they came out ... seems like a good idea because you can see
how they have matured throughout the years. Like reading a book of their
lives... (instead... listening to their lives). You do it in chronological
order.... You don't pick up a book and read it from the last past page to
the foreward..... it wouldn't make sence. Same with their albums. It's a
story of their lives... what goes on, growing up and realizing new
things....... don't you agree?

HIFTBSO was the first Sunny Day album I was exposed to and I consider Sunny
Day one of the greatest bands to ever touch my life. I am a fairly new Sunny
Day fan (obviously). If Dairy had been the first album from SDRE I had
heard, I don't think I would have been as impressed with them. I know this
may sound sacreligious to many of you, but I am drawn to HITFTBSO far more
than the other two albums. I love all three, but HITFTBSO has something more
that the others don't...something that really moves my soul and touches my
emotions.
I was so surprised when I joined this mailing list and read the comments
about HITFTBSO. Maybe it's just me, but it seems like many of you don't hold
it in very high regard, especially in comparison to Diary. Don't worry guys!
Admitting you like the later album as much or more than the earlier ones
doesn't make you any less a fan ;) I suppose many of you were drawn to SDRE
because of Diary and HITFTBSO just isn't the same. It is my humble opinion,
however, that HITFTBSO is SDRE's best album and I look forward to seeing (or
hearing :) how they grow in the future.
